VANDERP00L WINS ANOTHER Miami Champion Scores in His First Maryland Appearance. Son of Campfire Bramble Rose Still Unbeaten Good Weather and Large Crowd at Bowie. BOWIE, Md., April 4. While the Prospect Purse, for juveniles, was only an overnight race, it was the race that, attracted the most attention. The real interest was in the first Maryland appearance of Mrs. M. P. Allens Vander Pool, the unbeaten son of Campfire and Bramble Rose, the Miami champion and winner of the Juvenile Stakes at that meeting. Vander Pool continued on his winning way when he won easily, leading home the Ran-cocas Stables Schooner, with H. P. Whitneys Airliner beating the California Stables Donie, another from Miami, for third place. The race was one to give Vander Pool real importance in considering the merits of the candidates for the Kindergarten Stakes, to be run next Thursday. After the one day of disagreeable, rainy weather, there was a return to spring sunshine this afternoon and the crowd was a surprisingly large one. The track had dried out considerably over night, but it was still a bit slow in the stretch. There was some delay in the juvenile race and Westerner, a son of Westy Hogan and Margaret Lowry, which races under the Dor-wood Stable silks, was chiefly to blame. -Finally an excellent alignment was obtained and the start was a good one. McAuliffe, who had the mount on Vander Pool, was caught unprepared at the release of the barrier and both Airliner and Schooner beat him away. Vander Pool proved himself a rapid beginner in his Miami races, but in this, McAuliffe got away a bit slowly and it seemed the fault of the rider that he did not leave in the same stride with the other two. This slight advantage at the start carried both Airliner and Schooner well out before the son of Campfire, but he was in third place and, when he settled into racing stride, it was apparent he would catch them. Airliner was first to tire and Vander Pool raced past him with little effort. Schooner made a gallant fight in the run through the stretch, but he was beaten an eighth from the finish and the Florida champion finished the race with his ears pricking. His margin of victory was a length and a half, while Schooner had beaten Airliner four lengths for second place. The others cut no figure in the running, but it is safe to promise that Westerner, at least, will show to better advantage with more racing education. News that Prince dAmour has gone amiss Continued on second pace VANDERPOOL WINS ANOTHER Continued from first page. makes it appear that about the only menace Vander Pool will meet in the Kindergarten Stakes is Siskin, the son of Epinard, which was winner of the Agua Caliente Futurity. Fourteen maiden three-year-olds paraded to the post for the opening race. There was some delay when Guffle unseated Le Blanc and galloped off down the back stretch, but no serious damage was done. This race saw the graduation of Mrs. W. H. Denhams Tricky Colonel, when he raced past J. Bosley, Jr.s Behave Cash, to win going away with Mrs. Elmer Truemans Little Imp, a field horse, beating F. J. Buchanans Morley for third. The start was a good one, though shortly after leaving the stalls Chickweed was knocked back. Behave Cash, showing good speed, quickly drew away and soon had a long lead. Slate, who had the mount, with an utter lack of judgment rushed the gelding right along for a first half in :47?S. This naturally gave him a long lead, "but it also took a toll that made him tire badly in the final furlong. Workman, showing better knowledge of pace, worked his way up gradually with Tricky Colonel and in the final furlong readily passed the Bosley gelding. Little Imp finished well to be third, while Morley, after racing third in the early stages, tired, but finished fourth. Back of him followed Oleman River and Giant Stride, . which raced under the silks of Samuel Ross, the Washington sportsman. It was something of a surprise when Zu-blena, racing for the Rancocas Stable, won from T. J. Beauchamps Betty Beau, with Irish Polly, bearing the silks of the Dixiana stable, beating J. L. Roberts Rod Rack for third. Wicker, which raced so well at Agua Caliente, was far back. From a good start Irish Polly at once raced into a good lead. Betty Beau was in second place with Rod Rack following her. Zublena was slow to be under way, but she was racing well back of the first three. At the head of the stretch Irish Polly showed signs of tiring, and an eighth out it was apparent that Betty Beau would beat her, but in the meantime Steffen was coming with a great rush on the outside with Zublena. In the last sixteenth the daughter of Zev took command to be winner by a length. Betty Beau had beaten the tired Irish Polly by three lengths and Rod Rack was just a head farther back.
