HORSES FOR BOWIE RACING Plenty Material for Final Meeting of Year in Maryland. Stables in Action at Pimllco to Be Keprc-scntcd at Prince Georges Park For Valuable Stakes. 4 BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 12. A 1 r e a d y horses that will take part in the getaway meeting of the major racing season of 1921 are assembling at Bowie. At Prince Georges Park, which is situated midway between Baltimore and Washington on the interurban electric railway and will be reached soon by one of the finest automobile highways in a state noted for its splendid roads, the Southern Maryland Agricultural Association will race from November 17 to 29. Upward of 60,000 will be distrbuted among the supporting horsemen. Salient features of the two weeks sport will be revivals of the Bryan Memorial, a handicap of one mile for all ages ; the Prince George, a handicap of one mile and an eighth for three-year-olds, and the Thanksgiving, a handicap of one mile and three-sixteenths, for three-year-olds and over, all of 0,000 added, and the Endurance, a handicap of one mile for two-year-olds exclusively that will have an added money value of ,500. Some three hundred horses that raced through October at Yonkers, Jamaica and Laurel Park are already on the grounds. More are arriving daily from Pimlico, where the Maryland Jockey Club is trying to provide employment for several hundred more genuinely good performers than are required for a twelve-days meeting. As the Pimlico meeting progresses it is evident that the stables of Harry Payne Whitney, Mrs. Whitney, Edward Riley Bradley, Edward F. Whitney, Richard T. Wilson, Commander J. K. L. Ross, William Woodward, A. C. Bostwick, Robert L. Gerry, J. Edwin Griffith, Marshall Field, Willis Sharpe Kilmer, Howard W. Maxwell, J. B. Smith, A. H. Morris, Admiral Cary T. Grayson, James W. Bean, August Belmont, George Wingfield, Samuel D. Riddle, Edward Bealc McLean, Water J. Salmon, Joseph E. Davis and Hal Price Headley will figure big in the form charts of the coming meeting. Mrs. Payne Whitney, who won last years Endurance Handcap with Tree Top, and took place money with Rinkey, will have Cherry Pie, holder of the American competitive record of 1:35 for one mile, for the Bryan Memorial and Thanksgiving handicaps. Cherry Pie has just demonstrated that he is at top form.

Seal, Flagstaff and Hephaistos in the South- em Maryland, which has been renamed the Bryan Memorial in respect to Gadsen Bryan, Jr., one of the founders of Bowie racing, who died a few weeks back, is ready for a better Bowie season than he had last year. King Solomons Seal, which won last falls revivals of the Prince Georges and Thanksgiving Handicaps, is not running as well over the harder going of the Pimlico course as he did last November. But he is still very much on the job and will be a better horse in the deeper footing of Prince Georges Park. With him in the J. B. Smith stable, which Max Hirsch is trainng, the sprinter, Silk Tassel, will go to Bowie. The Woodward stable of which Aga Khan, winner of revivals of the Lawrence Realization and Pimlco Autumn Handicap ; Priscilla Ruley, winner of the Alabama revival of last August at Saratoga and numerous minor three-year-old specials for fillies, and Beatrice, winner of the Champagne at Belmont Park, are stars in Bowies own. These horses also. Little Chief, Nancy Lee, Lion dOr, Cyclops, Cote dOr, fliers of other days and the two-year-old Socrates and Sennacherib, formidable winners this year, but under alien silks, were bred at Mr. Woodwards Belair Farm. Belair lies only a few miles south of Bowie as the crow flies. Belair Farm has been a thoroughbred nursery for upward of two centuries. There in the eighteenth century Benjamin Tasker and Samuel Ogle, Maryland colonial governors, bred great race horses. Harry Payne Whitneys matured campaigners, the three-year-old filly, Initiate, and one or two lesser lights excepted, have about had enough racing this year, buC Fred Hopkins and young James Rowe have formidable two-year-olds for Bowie racing in Noah, Candy Kid, Mother Goose, Swinging, Courageous, Overall, Reminder and Backbone. Mother Goose won the Belmont Park Futurity in September last and Candy Kid and Courag-ous have been showing their heels to the smartest youngsters of the Laurel and Pimlico meetings. Noah is one of the fastest sprinting youngsters about and if he is anything like his older brothers, Tester and Exodus, he will reach his best form in the deep going of Prince Georges Park. Mr. McLeans best for the Bowie meeting are Noel, brother of Escoba, and Comixa, Virginia bred daughter . of Colin. James W. Beans ace is Donaghee, New York bred son of The Curragh and Mabel Strauss. Donaghee won at Bowie last April and recently defeated Sunayr, Rustic, Gold Bug and Thomasine in a renewal of the Potomac Handicap at Havre de Grace, and Feysun, Sun Audience, Luckly Play and Rinkey in the New Rochelle at Yonkers. . Rustic is the A. II. Morris Stable representative for Bowie and Rustic is a Maryland-bred three-year-: old of parts. He is pointing for the three 0,000 handicaps. A formidable three-year-old of the Ran-. cocas Stable, Samuel C. Hildreth will race through the getaway meeting, is Mad Play, brother of the veteran, Mad Hatter and winner of the 0,000 Belmont renewal of last June. Mad Play is in his best form onca more, after a summers rest. Zev, Americas greatest thoroughbred money winner, is training with Mad Play for revivals of the Bryan Memorial and Thanksgiving Handi- caps. This stout son of The Finn and Mis3 Kearney scored his sixth straight success when he defeated Goshawk at Pimlico in the first of the Maryland Jockey Clubs serial weight-for-age races, a dash of three-quar- ters mile. Rancocas two-year-olds still in winning form are Nedana, Barbary, Super-lette, Bruns, Cypress and Silver Fox. Silver I Fox, a high priced gray from Great Britain, i is coming through handsomely after disap-: pointing through the spring and summer. Albert C. Bostwicks powerful string, of I which Spot Cash, Shuffle Along and Peddler I are the fittest members, now will finish the season at Prince Georges Park. They - have had a hard campaign and will go into ; winter quarters at Benning track, in the District of Columbia in December. ! ; I
