BLAN KEN BURG TO RACE AT PIMLICO Baltimore, Md., April 22. — Archibald Barklie, one of the leading sportsmen of Pennsylvania, has sent his one-time famous steeplechaser. Rlankeiiburg. to Michael Daly, at Havre de Grace, to tie prepared for the spring- steeplechasing of the Maryland Jockey-Clubs meeting. Blankenbiirg. which has been laid up since the running of the Brook Cup at Belmont Park in 1910, in which he was cut down and seriously lamed, will hardly 1m- ready for his liest effort before the last week of the Pimlico meeting. Nevertheless he is as hard as nails and apparently as sound as on the day of his birth and Mr. Barklie expects one or two good performances from him here. Blankenbiirg has had many a mile over the country roads in the neighborhood of Mr. Barklies Pennsylvania place in the course of the last two months and he was hunted last fall. This son of Knight Errant he the sire of Roamer is no stranger -to patrons of Pimlico steeplechasing. He was a first-rate horse here in the autumn of 1915. Blankenbiirg is the only cross-country performer in the Barklie stable just now, but the Pennsylvania turfman has taken a subscription in the Aspirant Plate and he is looking for a couple of three-year-olds to develop for the Harbor Hill and Elk-ridge steeplechases, which are to be renewed in the a lit num.
