Among Crack Racers to Appear at the Bowie Track. Will Be Pointed for the 10,000 Thanksgiving Day Handicap, Closing Day Feature of Maryland Racing. I BALTIMORE, Md., November 7. John Sanfords Paragon II. and the Westmont Stables Tryster, two of the most capable handicap horses of mature years still in training, will race at Bowie through the meeting the Southern Maryland Agricultural Association that will take up the last eleven rac- , days of November, finishing Thanksgiv-ing Day. Paragon II.. an English horse by Radium, close akin to the Two Thousand Guineas winner Clarissimus, for which the t French breeder, M. Blanc, paid a large sum a long ago, will be the Sanford starter in i c ?10,000 Thanksgiving Handicap. This j -race, a gallop of a mile and a quarter for j three-year-olds and over, will be Bowies I farewell day feature. Mr. Sanford himself is l authority for the announcement that Para-1 gon II. will be pointed for it after he shall . have filled engagements at Pimlico in the 3 210,000 Bowie Cup Handicap, a gallop of a i mile and a half, and the ?10,000 rimlico Cup, handicap of two miles and a quarter. 5 Hollie Hushes, the developer of Snob II., winner of the Withers at Belmont Park in June and one of the tiiree-year-old sensa- , tions of spring racing, also of Serenader, , has Paragon II. in first.rate racing condition. Mr. Sanford sees no valid reason why the English horse should not see the eastern racing season through. Tryster, which Mr. Replogle bought from Harrv Pavne Whitney at Saratoga in Au-f ust has taken the place in the Westmont . j Stable of the ill-fated Sennings Park. Scott j Harlan, has the son of Peter Pan and Tryst j j at the top of his form. After winning the j ! Scarsdale Handicap at Yonkers, a gallop of i j one mile, in 1:38V5, Tryster finished third to Exterminator and Paragon II. in the ?10,000 Laurel Stakes, and trimmed On AVatch j and Careful at three-quarters of a mile in the ! j llrst of Pimlicos series of weight-for-age races for two-year-olds and over, and also .von the second race of that series, equaling the Pimlico track record for one mile. Tryster is hardly as good under scale weight over long distances as Paragon II. and the other topnotch handicap horses. He is only about 15 hands tall. Beside Exterminator or Paragon II. he looks like a pony. But it is hardly likely that he will I be as severely handicapped at Bowie as he iihas been at Yonkers, Laurel and Pimlico. Mr. Harlan lias not decided what two and three-vcar-olds of the Greentree Stable string ; he will race at Bowie with Tryster, but it is not improbable that Cherry Pie, the Keene i j Memorial and Nursery and Manor Handicap j winner, Galantman and Rialto will be among I the band. Cherry Pie has already proved 1 that he can maintain his speed for one mile a and farther. Rialto, a son of Chicle and Mat - inee, will be hard to beat once he has been i schooled to get away fast from the barrier.
