ARABIAN HOME FIRST » Takes Main Offering of Bowies Wednesday Program. » Blue Hill Victorious in Claiming Handicap — Stutts in Double Triumph. • BOWIE, Md., April 8. — J. Magnus Arabian was winner of the best Bowie offering this afternoon when, by a well-judged rush through the stretch he was up to take the ; mile and seventy yards of the Princeton Handicap from Mrs. A. Swenkes Bed Wing- j field, with Joseph E. Davis Beparation a close third. The only other starters were F. M. Kellys The Poet and J. F. Bichardsons Bruns and they followed in the order named. It was another delightful day for the sport and the bright sunshine was almost of summer warmth. The attendance was surprisingly and the sport worthy. No time was lost at the post in the Prince- I ton and at the start Walsh rushed Beparation into the lead, with The Poet going right along after him and Bed Wingfield not far away. Bruns was a close fourth, while Arabian was rather a distant follower through the early running. Down the back stretch Beparation con-tinued to show the way under a stiff restraint and he made the pace hot enough to cause The Ioet to drop back slightly, while Bed Wingfield moved into second place. In the meantime Arabian had, found his racing legs and he was gradually improving his position. GOING AWAY AT END. When the s* retch turn was reached Bed Wingfield challenged Beparation and the pair of them were well lapped as they swung into the straight, but by that time Arabian was right at their heels and racing strongly. Through the final eighth Arabian drew alongside and then on by until at the end he was going away with something more than a length to spare. Bed Wingfield and Beparation were so closely lapped that it was something of a trick to split them apart, while three lengths away The Poet readily led Bruns to the finish. G. Winfreys Blue Hill was an easy winner of the mile and a sixteenth of the fifth race, a claiming handicap. This fellow was easily best of his company and at the end he was six lengths clear, with The Boll Call a like distance before Prince Tii Tii, and the others were just as badly strung out. Blue Hill and The Boll Call were the ones to cut out all the running and Blue Hill went along under a steadying restraint. I When Harvey permitted him to run in the stretch he quickly drew away to be home an j easy winner. Prince Tii Tii was sluggish all through the early stages and he closed some j ground, but was not able to threaten the first two. Quotation, after a flash of speed, ! quit badly, while Eleanor S. and Brunell each j ran an exceedingly dull race. There was a Miami victory in the opening half mile dash when Harry Stutts brought J. Serios Boosting home the winner in a close finish from L. B. Thompsons Tak-aweesa, with J. P. Jones Eady Chilton just saving third from Walter J. Salmons Buttercup. Takaweesa, Bady Chilton and Buttercup were the ones to show the wav. Stutts brought Boosting up with a rush and dropped her head in front in the closing strides. Takaweesa raced Bady fhilton into defeat but tired badly in the closing strides Bit- Continuod on twelfth page.

Creevys Galatia was winner of the three-quarters of the second race when sjAi led Samuel Louis Wild Goose with W.K. Midgleys old Dream of the Valley finisl™*- third. No time was lost at the barrier ani the start was a good one with Wild Goose and Galatia the ones to go out in the pace while Dream of the Valley was heading the others. Admirer began a bit slowly but he quickly raced up to a contending position. There was little change in these positions throughout but right at the end Galatia proved gainer than Wild Goose and she was going away at the end. Dream of the Valley failed utterly when called on and while he saved third he was two lengths back of the tiring Wild Goose and the others of the field were well strung out. Stutts scored his second success of the afternoon when he piloted the old rogue Care i Free to victory in the three-quarters of the third race. At the end he was leading New Hope by a length and a half while the Arlington plater was a length before Neptune with Poor Sport a close fourth. Care Free began well and Stutts lost no time in taking him into the command while Firth of Forth went after him with Racing Star and Neptune not far away. New Hope began a bit i slowly and little O. Brown was too light to offer much help but she steadily worked her way up and at the end she was catching the ! winner but Care Free still was a length and j a half clear. Neptune was tiring and he only : beat Poor Sport half a length for third. There was a good finish came out of the mile and seventy yards of the sixth race, in : which Huey was up to take the purse by a nose from Wish I Win, while White Marsh was an easy third. White Marsh was the ; one to cut out all the running, but in the j stretch he tired badly, while Huey, after i gradually improving bis position, slipped through on the inside. Wish I Win had chased White Marsh all through the race, and she readily outgained her in the closing i strides. In this contest Bad Luck, one that was widely touted, ran a dull race and was 1 a distant fourth.
