WILL CAMPAIGN SEVENTEEN ♦ Camden Stable Will Be Composed Mainly of Juveniles. ♦ Famous Names of Other Years Missing from Stable Roster of Noted Kentucky Owner and Breeder. ♦ D. E. Stewart, trainer of the first division of the stable of Senator J. N. Camden, has announced his intention of campaigning seventeen of his employers horses at the fortl-coming meeting at Arlington Park. The string consists mainly of young horses, most of which are by Light Brigade, and were bred at Mr. Camdens Hartland stud, near Versailles, Ky. Flattery, a five-year-old, and Martinique, now in his fourth year, are the only ones in the band that have passed the three-year-old stage. The stable includes the crack three-year-old filly Rose of Sharon, a winner in Kentucky this spring, and which is the stables nominee for the 0,000 aUled American Classic. The juveniles in the string are a fine looking band, and trainer Stewart thought enough of their ability to name them in the various stakes for two-year-olds to be decided in the course of the Arlington meeting. Besides Rose of Sharon, the other three-year-olds in the stable are Caledonia, Princton, London Pride, and Tamina. The juvenile division, names for which were selected by Mrs. Camden, comprise Sydney, Tasman, Cul.oden, Honey Locust, Winslow, Choiseul, Ellice, Ladrone, Ulverston and Ver-miculite. Such stars as Hydromel, Noreaster, Roth-ermel and Oh Susanna, which brought distinction to the Camden colors on the Chicago tracks in the past two years, are missing from the stables list of campaigners this year. Their absence will weaken the stable considerably but it may be that from the list of younger horses there may be developed one or more that will take front rank before the season comes to a close. The season of 1927 was one of the best the Camden stable enjoyed in some time, most of its success being scored on the Chicago tracks. In that year trainer Stewart stood twelfth in the list of Americas leading trainers, with forty-nine winners to his credit, and total stable earnings of 20,316. Hydromel contributed a large portion of this sum. Among his principal successes was the American Derby, worth 2,700. He also scored in the Labor Day Handicap, also run at Washington Park. Rothermel was also a good winner. She scored in the Covington Handicap, at Latonia ; Marquette Handicap at Lincoln Fields, and Key West Handicap at Miami. Oh Susanna, another speedy racer, won the Autumn Handicap at Latonia, and the Illinois Handicap at Washington Park. Noreaster was a victor in the Quickstep Handicap at Latonia, and the Crete Handicap at Lincoln Fields.
