, ! ; " ! : " ; 1 JOYNER EYES HAVRE STAKES Will Campaign Formidable G. D: Widener String in Maryland. Success or Failure May Depend Upon Condition of Hi-Jack Stakes Closing on April 7th. HAVRE DE GRACE, Md., March 4. Andrew Jackson Joyner intends to have something vital to say in regard to the stakes to he offered during the Harford Agricultural and Breeders Associations thirteen-day spring meeting, beginning April 16, as he is bringing eighteen of George D. Wideners thoroughbreds from Erden-heim Farm, near Philadelphia, Pa. A dozen well-bred two-year-olds are included in Joyners string. However, race fans are chiefly interested in Mr. Wideners Hi-Jack. If the five-year-old brown son of John P. Grier and Playcany measures up to expectations then the Philadelphia sportsman has a royal chance of finishing the forthcoming meeting as the leading money-winning owner. Finite, seven-year-old chestnut gelded son of The Finn and Last Straw; Evening, one of the sensations of the three-year-old division this winter in Florida; Blackmock, three-year-old brown son of Black Toney land Bal Masque; Autumnal, three-year-old bay daughter of Stefan the Great and Equinoctial; Meeting Place, three-year-old black son of Tryster and Salubria, and War Saint., five-year-old bay gelded son of St. James and War Goddess, are other older horses which the astute Joyner is making ready for the season here. Two-year-olds which will carry the G. D. Widener silks here are: Ever Fair, ch. f, by Fair Play Liseu. Yank Away, ch. f, by John P. Grier Yankee Princess. Super-Charge, br. f, by Supremus Carbine. Vespa, ch. f , by Bud Lerner Friar Song. Corn Cob, , b. c, by Kai-Sang Maize. Absolute, ch. c, by Infinite May Lily. Sation, ch. c, by Galetian Salacia. Sky Haven, b. c, by High Cloud Lassie. Jump Up, b. g, by St. James Startle. Capitalist, b. c, by John P. Grier Titanite. Saintlite, b. g, by St. James Crepuscle. Unnamed brown gelded son of Ambassador IV. Princess Amo. Jockey Ray Leischman, who rode with much success during the winters racing in Florida, will do the bulk of the riding for the Philadelphia sportsman. This means that anything trainer Joyner sends postward will be in excellent hands, as Leischman, when right, and he appears to be just that at present, is capable of holding his own with any rider now performing on American soil. Horsemen are reminded that nominations for the four 0,000 stakes to be run here this spring close April 7 with racingsecre-tary Joseph McLennan. The stakes are: Harford Handicap, a six furlongs sprint for three-year-olds and over, to be run April 16; Philadelphia Handicap, mile and one-sixteenth, for three-year-olds and over, to be run April 23; Aberdeen Stakes, a four and one-half furlongs sprint, for two-year-olds, to be run April 27, and the Chesapeake, at a mile and one-sixteenth, exclusively for three-year-olds, to be offered April 27. Due to the Kentucky Derby being run the first week in May, horsemen will use the Chesapeake to tighten up their charges for the Blue Grass stake, which means that the biggest three-year-old race of Marylands spring season will be offered here on the closing day of the meeting. Horsemen who intend to race here must apply for stalls to general manager Edward Burke at once.
