lMARYLAND TURF NOTES i e * BALTIMORE, Md., May 7. Jockey M. Fisliman goes from here to Canada •with the James Bowden stable. Crystal Domino has been added to the schooling list. W. Dondas, secretary of the Arlington Park course, telegraphed Jess Bennett to come to Chicago to take charge of the jockeys room at that meeting. S. C. Hildreth is expected here with Nas-sak, the Rancocas candidate for the PrcaR-ness Stakes to be run at Pimlico on Friday. It is possible that Henry McDaniel may come with either Genie or Propus, both of which are eligible. It looks like old times at Pimlico when sixteen steeplechasers are named to go in the Hampden Steeplechase, which is carded as the first race on tomorrows program. The field at Pimlico this spring is in excellent condition, and there are more jumpers in training here than for several years past. Among the club house visitors were Frank H. and F. A. OConnor, well-known sportsmen of Toronto, who came down from Canada to take in the closing weeks sport at Pimlico. Frank H. OConnor, besides racing a band of some twenty horses, maintains rather a pretentious breeding establishment on the Kingston road, some twenty miles out of Toronto. There was ■ decided change in the weather at Pimlico this morning, and the cold chilling blasts that swept across the field kept many horses in their stables. There were only thirty-five horses at the schooling gate, the smallest number that put in an appearance all spring. The two-ycnr-old Stylish Mack, which wheeled in his only start, was among those at the gate and two attempts to get him away proved futile. He again wheeled on both occasions.
