J 1 f ; j . , . . i - i , ; , . : : FIELD FOR WALDEN HANDICAP Nineteen Entered in Valuable Juvenile Prize at Pimlico. The Darb and Pomponius Slated to Carry Top Weight of 116 Pounds Interesting Race Is Promised. PIMLICO, Md Nov. 10. While nineteen are entered for the Walden Handicap, to be decided here tomorrow, the high weights; for the most part, are absent from the list and it will not be exactly a return match for the Pimlico Futurity run over the same mile and a sixteenth distance. But from those named there should be a worthy renewal and should all nineteen appear under silks the prize will have a gross value of ,830. Of those named through the entry box, C. V. Whitneys The Darb, winner of the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, and W. R. Coes Pomponius are at the top under a burden of 116 pounds, just six pounds below scale. Balios, which races for H. C. Phipps, is handicapped at 115 pounds, and then comes Joseph E. Wideners Golden Way, which was second to S7ivel in the Pimlico Futurity with 114 as his burden. The Wheatley Stables Notebook, winner of the Selima and subjected to much interference in the running of the Pimlico Fur turity, has to take up 112 pounds. The daughter of Chicle will run coupled with Balios and the pair will unquestionably attract much attention at post time. F. A. Griffiths Sarada, winner of the Spalding. Lowe Jenkins Handicap at Laurel, is in nicely at 113 pounds, and the Sagamore Stables Wave On, virtually left at the post in the Futurity, is at the same notch. Cary T. Grayson is represented by Hope to Do and Band Wagon, light weight that only take up 100 pounds each. Then there is Ceasars Ghost, from the Brookmeade Stable, which raced second to The Darb in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes, with 108 as his impost. G. H. Bostwicks Garden Message, one that has trained excellently for the running,-is in under 109 pounds, and another is John E. Hughes Silent Shot, a surprise winner of the Wednesday racing with 103 as his burden. Others that are named in the big company are Lazi Canter, War Glory, Bright Shadow, Easy Day, Illusive, Acautaw and Sun Captor. There is small chance for the going to be better than slow for the running, though there was a return of bright weather today-that should dry out the track considerably but it has had such a thorough drenching that it is hardly possible the going will be firm and fast before Saturday, the final day of the meeting. With the running of the Walden Handi-. cap, there only remains the Endurance Handicap at Bowie as a valuable prize for the juveniles. Thus far there has been a wide division of the money in these prizes from, the beginning of the fall season at Havre de Grace. No one juvenile has taken down two of them and the only chance for a Maryland double tomorrow would be a victory for Sarada or Notebook. Some of the others have won over sprinting distance, but these are the only stake winners engaged at a distance as great as a mile.
