B. B. JONES LARGE STABLE 1 Audley Farm String One of Largest in Country. Sixty Horses in Training Owned by Wasliing-tonimi Campaign rians for Eastern Division. Paradoxically the division of the racing stable of Bernard B. Jones of Washington and Oklahoma, the largest stable of horses that will bear the silks of one person in this country this year that will race at Arlington Park in July is called the eastern division. Altogether Mr. Jones has about sixty horses iii training. Under the direction of Miller Henderson this eastern division is now at Pimlico getting ready for the coming meeting of the Harford Agricultural and Breeders Association at Havre de Grace. One of the best known of the older horses in Hendersons charge, Bobashela, son of Ormondale and Trappoid, a winner in Chicago last year and the year before, defeated Typhoon, Sortie, Solace, Jack Higgins, Petee-Wrack, Buntaris, Beauregard, Cloudy, Sun Beau and Eugene S., in the Chesapeake Stakes at Havre de Grace two years ago. Bobashela is being preparing for the Philadelphia Handicap, after which he may be started in the Dixie Handicap. With Bobashela in the eastern division of the Audley Farm Stable are: Erin Queen, b. in, 4, by St. Henry Irish Lassie. Lieut. Kussell, ch. g. 5, by Sir Barton Honey CSirl.

Unnamed bay filly, 2, by High Cloud Cliarlabelle. Henderson put in the winter before last at Pimlico, where influenza, a peculiarly disabling disease in the horse, ravaged his stable. The winter past his charges were at Audley Farm, and they arrived in Maryland recently in the very best health. Not improbably his two-year-olds of this year will !e better than his youngsters of last year. It was in the two-year-old division the winter before last that the influenza found the greatest number of victims. After the Maryland meetings Henderson will come West. The Audley Farm horses that will race at Belmont Park are in the Metropolitan division, which Robert A. Smith trains. Smith won the Pimlico Oaks last spring, with Altitude, and trained another good filly for him in Princess Tina, also a first rate three-yeai--old colt in Soul of Honor, a son of St. Henry and Kiluna and half brother of Kai Sang. Soul of Honor won the Jerome Handicap, at Belmont Park, last September, running one mile in 1:36M;, and lost his life after the renewal, of the Maryland Handicap in consequence of breaking a leg. A year ago last August Mr. Jones paid ,000 for Elegance, at Thomas Piatts yearling sale at Saratoga. Last summer he got Traufey for ,C00 at one of Willis Sharpe Kilmers vendues. Traufey is from Kilmers Court Manor Stud, whence have come Reigh Count. Sun Beau, Sun Craig, Minotaur, Sun Falcon, Mint Olga and others. Because of Hendersons bad luck a year .ago last winter, the horses in his charge are more or less unknown quantities. But Henderson believes he has three-year-olds of promise in Woodcraft and Flyer, neither of which raced often last year, but both of which won. Flyer and Woodcraft are the colts he will prepare for the Arlington Classic. Mr. Jones believes in the principle of two-year-old conservation on the theory that horses brought to the post early in their first seasons, while their bones are still soft, cannot be expected to stand up at three. It is not likely therefore that Henderson will attempt to show liis best youngsters until he gets to Arlington. After the Arlington meeting he will ship to Saratoga and put in August and the autumn months in New York and in Maryland. j
