April 12.— On next Monday racing in Maryland will shift to the picturesque course of the Harford Agricultural and Breeders Association at Havre de Grace, thirty-eight miles from here. There more of the better-class horses of the eastern turf will be seen in action than have appeared at Bowie. In fact, some of the real topnotchers will make their first appearance of the year, notably the great Exterminator. W. S. Kilmers wonderful racer is among the 121 entries for the Harford Handicap, the ,000 opening day feature of the meeting. It is said that he will he a certain starter in an attempt to duplicate his feat of last year, when he began his successful campaign in this three-quarters of a mile dash.

Thunderclap. Kai-Sang, Feylance, Hildur, Careful, Cham-plain, Olympus, Broomster, Setting Sun, Pillory and Dexterous. Aside from Exterminator the most probable starters include Careful. Fair Phantom, Bygone Days. Bunga Buck, Oceanic. Carmeni-dale, Feylance, Sailing B.. Champlain, Brook-holt, Snob II., Dexterous and Setting Sun. The prospects are excellent for a fine field and a grand race. Reports from New York say that W. J. Salmons crack mare Careful has been specially pointed for the Harford and her connections are confident she will be a hard one to beat. Another of the feminine sex in fine fettle for the Harford is Montfort Jones speedy Fair Phantom and, like Careful, will make it interesting for the best of the other sex. Carmandale, a Maryland bred son of Meridian in the stable of G. A. Alexandra, is ready for the Harford. Last Monday the big bay stallion galloped half a mile in 47%. Carmandale was given a long winter rest and is as fresh as a daisy in consequence of it. W. L. Oliver is counting on Dexterous for next Mondays big race and is sure that he will give a good account of himself, as he did last year when he ran third to Exterminator and Billy Kelly. Superintendent J. I*. Ross reports the Havre track in fine condition, and unless rain falls between now and Monday it will be lightning fast for the inaugural days sport. John F. Schorr has arrived from Benning with a string of two dozen variously-owned horses, most of them ready for the spring racing at Havre. Matt Brady, who trained the horses of the stable of Joseph E.

Reparation is at top form. Giarre. Noel and Comixa are the most forward three-year-olds of the Schorr string, which is variously owned. These are the property of Edward Beale McLean of Washington, and Giarre, a French-bred daughter of Maintcnon, is preparing for the ,000 Chesapeake Stakes, a gallop of a mile and a sixteenth for three -year-olds exclusively, that will bring to the post some of the best colts and fillies training In the Kast for the impending Preakness Stakes at Pimlico and the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Noel is a son of Broomstick and Christmas Star and brother of Escoba, that failed badly last season after working dazzlingly fast at Belmont Park early in June. It was mid-October and the horses were at Laurel Park before Noel won a purse. Then he did nothing more creditable than trim Felicitous. However, there was something ailing this good-looking son of Broomstick all the while. Schorr has found out what it was and corrected it. he hopes. He predicts that Noel will show some real quality here and soon.
