i BOWIE TRACK NOTES "1 8 s BOWIE. Md, April 10. George Arvin came over from Pimlico this morning with the H. T. Archibald racer Flying Torch and after the running of the second race the horse was vanned back to the Hilltop track. Carl Utz has twenty two-year-olds at Havre de Grace for the Foxcatcher Farm. Some of them are extra good lookers and collectively they are a promising looking band. W. Short arrived at Havre de Grace this morning. He is to take over a division of the Willis Sharpe Kilmer stable, which will probably be raced on the Western tracks. There was a slight flurry of snow at Bowie this morning which interfered with training operations some. As a result no horses were schooled at the barrier. At Havre de Grace the weather was fine and many of the racers quartered at that course were sent along in their preparation for the races there next week. Secretary Joseph McLennan is anxious to get in touch with Claude T. Broomfield. Somerset, The Roll Call and the two-year-old Golden Colna were added to the schooling list by starter Milton. E. S. Welter has arranged to set up one of the Milton barriers at Pimlico on Thursday and schooling hours at that track will be from 8 to 10 a. m. J. Fletcher, who maintains rather a pretentious breeding establishment near Toronto, Ont., was a visitor. The Fletcher horses are still at the farm, but will be removed to the Woodbine in a couple of weeks. T. J. OBrien is here for a few days racing. The OBrien horses were shipped direct to Jamaica from New Orleans. The Harford Handicap, which will be the feature on the opening day at Havre de Grace, has a list of sixty-four cligibles. Weights will be announced by Joseph McLennan on Thursday. C. Shea, who is under contract to Wiilis Sharpe Kilmer, had his first mount when he rode Laurel in the seventh race. In the absence of Preston Burch, who was confined to his home in Washington with a cold, the Nevada Stock Farm horses were saddled by R. E. Handlen. J. G. Wagnon was an arrival at Havre de Grace from New Orleans with his horses. They were unloaded in good shape.
