BOSTWICK STABLES PLANS I ♦ — Trainer Healey Will Move His Charges from Benning to Havre ♦ Spot Cash and Battersea Both Probable Starters in Harford Handicap on Opening Bay. ♦ HAVRE DE GRACE. Md., April 7.— The biggest stahle coming from Benning track to Havre de Grace for the spring meeting which is scheduled for the last fortnight of April will arrive shortly in charge of James Healey. For A. C. Bostwick of New York. the most successful of the Americans who raced in Canada last year, Healey will bring J on Spot Cash, Shuffle Along, Battersea. Hell Gate, Close Work, Minion. Sea Tale, Fairway. | Tassel, Cooncan. Chuckle. The Trout and i Melra. the last named an unbeaten fencer from Ireland, purchased during the winter by i Mr. Bostwick himself. For General James A. Buchanan he will bring Monkshood, one of the jumpers bought ! abroad by subscription ; for Jack OConnor a two-year-old called Trevan, by Trevisco ; for Francis Buchanan, Helen Buck, a two-year-old by Wrack, and for Foxhall P. Keene the jumpers Verboten and Pepi. Healey might have had his flat runners ready for the Bowie meeting, but he did not make the effort. Desiring to have every thing at its best at Toronto for the spring session of the Ontario Jockey Club he de-1 cided that a Havre de Grace beginning would • be best. j READY FOR HAVRE. The Bostwick flat runners will be ready j when the Havre de Grace meeting begins April 16. Spot Cash and Battersea, probably, will be participants in the hB" ,000 Harford i Handicap, the opening day feature. The Harford will be a sprint of six furlongs. Speed is the Batterseas forte and he has been trained for it. i Spot Cash and Shuffle Along will, unless the plans of Healey miscarry, be starters in the $.~ .000 Philadelphia Handicap and, after that, in the ." .000 Dixie at Pimlico. Spot Cash, a son of Broomstick and Payment, and an acquisition from the stable of H. I*. Whitney, won six races and $:J1.87" last season, which was more than any horse bred by Whitney won under that breeders own silks. Shuffle Along, a purchase from the Joseph E. Widener string, won ten races and more than 6,000. Under reasonable weight he will take plenty of beating in both the Philadelphia and th? Dixie. Healeys charges are all in good health.
