PIMLICO TURF NOTES 1 I « James Healy, who is looking after the twelve steeplechase and flat horses that he is racing for Mrs. Ambrose Clark, shipped the outfit to the Woodbine track, Toronto, Wednesday morning. In the closing event Monday a claim was deposited for Uncle Donald, the winner, by Ralph Mcllvane. The claiming price on the program was printed as ,750 and Mcllvane enclosed this amount in the claiming envelope. It developed that there was a correction both in the weight and claiming price on the horse, which was posted on the bulletin board back of the stewards stand. The corrected claiming price was ,250 and, as Mcllvane failed to enclose this amount with his claim, the stewards declared the claim void. At the conclusion of the Pimlico meeting, W. Hurley will move the Kentucky Derby winner Brokers Tip to Bowie. Sherrell Ward has arranged to leave for Bowie Saturday or just as soon as a two-year-old filly that is sick has sufficiently recovered for shipment. P. E. Fitzgerald is sending the Frank Hayes horses to Bowie and at the conclusion of that meeting will ship to Rockingham Park. Jockey Harry Callahan left for New York Wednesday afternoon to report to his contract employer Max Hirsch. Frank Hayes, mayor of Waterbury, Conn., will be here on Saturday with a party made up of Charles B. Jackson, Dr. Andrew J. Jackson, Herman J. Weisman, James W. Fitzpatrick and Daniel J.

Bostwick, of New York, who shipped Yarn, to England last year, has brought the six-year-old chestnut gelded son of Friar Rock and Sea Tale back here. He worked the gelding a nice three-eighths Thursday morning in :36%. Pat Remillard and the apprentice H. Cruz, are the latest riders to announce their intention of going to Hagerstown for the spring meeting, which opens June 1. Edward J. Brennan, race secretary of the Hagerstown Fair Association is busy on the book for his meeting. The Harry E. Bester Memorial Handicap will be the outstanding event of the upstate meeting. The late H.

The Justa Farm Stables Reverence, is the latest victim of the coughing epidemic and trainer M. Fernandez scratched him from the Billy Barton steeplechase. Bobby Jones, one of Americas highest paid race rider, who has been showing grand form during the present meeting, winning seven races although spending several days in Kentucky, was today suspended by his contract employer Willis Sharpe Kilmer for what the latter terms "poor form." In the sixth race at Pimlico on Friday, Mrs. C. C. Rumseys Scoop was entered. Scoop is a bay or brown filly, by Runantell, from Bright-Ness. The Jockey Club registrar stated that no name had ever been claimed for this filly, consequently he was ineligible to start and the stewards ordered that she be withdrawn from the entries. The foal is registered but no name was claimed up to May 1. Henry Lobestraus, who has been at Arlington Park during the past fortnight installing the new ticket issuers and approximate odds board, returned to Maryland this morning. He came on to witness the running of the Preakness. The members of the new state racing commission of New Hampshire are coming to Pimlico Friday and will remain here a couple of days familiarizing themselves with their duties. From reports coming here, it looks as if the officials are determined that every effort will be made to conduct the racing on a high plane and that the best officials obtainable will be engaged to supervise the sport.
