SHIPMENTS TO FAIRMOUNT ♦ Many Prominent Stables to Campaign at Collinsville Course. a — Bobashela, Typhoon, Lucky nit, Toro and Misstep Intended Starters In Fairmount Derby Renewal to Be Run June 2. LOUISVILLE. Ky., May 22.— Although a number of stables have already taken departure for Fairmount Park, where the spring meeting will open Saturday and continue for thirty-seven days, quite a few formidable establishments are prepared to ship to that course within the next few days. The Collinsville meeting is proving a strong attraction among the horsemen and the quality of horses it has tempted out of Kentucky is far above that of any previous year. The division of the Audley Farm Stable in charge of Miller Henderson, that includes the Fairmount Derby candidate Bobashela, Marsh Violet, Sistership, and others is among the strongest stables for the Fairmount meeting. Twenty other members of this stable were shipped direct to Fairmount Park from Baltimore and the section here, with the exception of the stables Kentucky Oaks starter, will be transferred about Thursday. Marsh Violet and Sistership are eligible for the Kentucky Oaks, to be run here June 2, the day set aside for the renewal of the Fair-mount Derby. If trainer Henderson decides that one or both of the fillies go into the local Oaks, he probably will turn them over to Kay Spence, another of the Audley Farm trainers, and hurry to Fairmount Iark to prepare Bobashela for his next major engagement. The Kenton Farm Stables Typhoon, another Fairmount Derby hopeful, together with other of the Kenton horses, were due to leave tonight for Fairmount Park. At that course they will join the big band of racers owned by H. G. Bedwell, trainer of Typhoon. The Bedwell horses went to Fairmount Park at the close of the Maryland spring season. A division of this stable will be raced at Arlington Park. LUCKY HIT WELL AGAIX. On Thursday night J. C. Milam will send his entire stable to Fairmount Park. Prominent among the stable is Lucky Hit, a candidate and likely starter in the Fairmount Derby. Lucky Hit wrenched an ankle in his last race, but is now fully recovered from that hurt, which probably cost him a victory in that particular engagement. The Milam stable is well fortified with horses of quality and has representation for races for the better performers of all ages. Jockey J. Berry will accompany the stable. E. B. McLeans Toro, Leo J. Marks Misstep, the Bloomfield Stables Blackwood, W. J. Currans Jack Higgins, R. E. Leich-leiters Cartago, Stuyvesant Peabodys Martie Flynn and the Viking Stables Lawley are other likely starters for the Fairmount Derby that will be shipped from here. Preparations for the transfer of Jack Higgins to the Collinsville track have been completed and he will be at Fairmount Park before the week is out. J. C. Whitlow has taken to Fairmount Park for R. S. Clark the horses Kitty Cat, Tom Cat, Nauset, Clutter, Lady Fanshawe, Flying Field and Cleanser. Whitlow also has several horses for J. E. Widener and others to race in his own interests. The stable of Mrs. W. J. Potter of Mobile, Ala., left last night for the Southern Illinois course. The horses Rodrigo. Hayess Choice, Brilliant, Master Sweep, Polvo, Gad and Hesitation make up the stable, with jockey V. Moore doing the riding. Other owners who succeeded in getting away yesterday were K. Pitt and J. Wieland. The stable of C. R. Anderson is due to depart within a few days. L. Gentry is getting together about twenty horses for the Fairmount Park meeting. Robert S. Shelly, one of the Fairmount Park racing officials, left Monday for that track. The horses of Harned Brothers, local turfmen, will not be campaigned at Fairmount during the spring season for the first time since that course was opened. A. campaign at Latonia was decided upon. Trainer Lon Johnson this afternoon announced intentions to send W. H. White-houses good colt Colonel Shaw to Fairmount Park to contest the impending renewal of the 5,000 added Fairmount Derby. Following that engagement he will be returned to Latonia. a
