TWO FOR T. J. HEALEY i Scores Double at Havre With Primrose and Wilderness. ♦ In Memoriam Returns to the Races and Showed That He Will Be Ready for Dixie. ♦ HAVRE DE GRACE, Md., April 20 — Trainer T. J. Healey scored a double today when after taking down the Vogue purse for three-year-old fillies with W. J. Salmons Primrose, he saddled R. T. Wilsons Wilderness for the Edgewood Purse, a mile and seventy yards affair and he was an easy winner over H. P. Whitneys Overall with Turn-berry saving third place from In Memoriam. There was a decided chill in the air and it was a weather condition that seriously affected the attendance although there was a goodly crowd on hand and the sport was first class though scratches were numerous. In the Edgewood In Memoriam caused some delay at the post but the start was a good one and Overall was the one first to show. Wilderness was just a bit slow in getting under way and Maiben permitted him to settle into his stride and when the back stretch was reached the son of Campfire was galloping strongly and within striking distance of the Whitney colt. Working his way through on the far turn with Wilderness it was apparent early in th running that he was the probable winner. Through the stretch he came away without apparent effort and his score was a much more impressive one than his recent effort. Although he tired. Overall had enough left to save second place and it was Turnborry that finished third. In Memoriam raced wide most of the way but his race showtd that he may be fully ready for his engagement in the Dixie Handicap for which he is being pointed. EASY FOR PRIMROSE. The Vogue Purse for three-year-old fillies, was cut down to five starters by scratches and it proved easy for W. J. Salmons Primrose. Glister, from the Audley Farm Stable, raced to second place with J. S. Cosdens Permanent Wave saving third. From a good start it was Glister that went into command, while Permanent Wave and Primrose, closely lapped, followed her. This was the order until nearing the stretch turn. There Maiben made his first move with Primrcse and quickly shaking off Permanent Wave, she closed with a rush that wore down Glister and she was going away at the end. Glister saved second place from Permanent Wave and the other two that started cut little figure in the running. Clem Theisen was winner of tho opening three-quarters dash and he had to be best for, in the run through the stretch, he lost several lengths by coming wide. At the end Rusovia, after racing close to the pace all the way, finished in second place and third was the portion of Sun Rajah. In this race, St. Quentin, after beating the others away from the barrier, was taken up by Burke and after dropping back to fourth place ho wax never able to improve his position. KENTUCKIAN IN CLOVER. The Kentucky delegation found cause for jubilation when Socket In, a Jack Hare Jr. — Miss Jazzbo colt running for Tom Brown, trainer of My Colonel, In Memoriam and others, raced Vulgate into defeat in the second race after they and thirteen others had left In perfect alignment. Socket In, seasoned by Miami racing, shook Vulgate off entering the straightaway and was found with enough left at the end to withstand Wandering Belle, a home-bred miss, from Jim Beans stable. The latter showed a good performance considering that she was compelled to run through the rougher going near the Inner rail for her final bid. Chef, a Theo. Cook gelding, which Harold Gocdman recently bought from Woods Garth, showed up well to account for the short end of the purse. Cozy was shuffled back soon after tho start and never a factor thereafter. The good looking Cobra, from the Woods Garth j barn, may be seen to better advantage soon. He raced greenly. Old Timer provided apprentice Red Harvey with his first winning mount of the week In the mile and a sixteenth of the third, another elaiming race. St. .Michael began running from number thirteen position and showed the way to the first turn with Ti acoy ch so at his heels. Harvey was content to keep Old Timer under restraint behind Demijohn and Uoiler which were trying to overtake the pacemakers. Rounding into the stretch Ticaeey tired and Harvey sent Old Timer through. After a short sharp tussle through the final eighth, Old Timer drew out to the delight of the followers of form.
