1 BOWIE TURF NOTES $ Lawrence DuPre, a 105-pound apprentice, who is under contract to Nat Ray, has decided to go to Havre de Grace at the conclusion of the session. "Saratoga Dave" Wilson, agent for the apprentice jockey Lynch, who won a double Thursday, is taking the lad to Havre de Grace instead of New York, as first planned. The halter brigade has registered eleven claims at the meeting with the sum of 7,-650 figuring in the transactions. Manny Berg, a Baltimore lad, who broke his leg two years ago, accepted his first mount Thursday when he handled the Howe Stables Rockrim. But for the heaviest spring rain storms in recent years, the eleven-day meeting, which ends Saturday, will have been the most profitable the Southern Maryland Agricultural Association has offered since the boom days. However, the daily average handle has been over 00,000, therefore it is thought the organization will have no use for red ink. With the countrys best horses and riders available, Havre de Graces t twelve-day meeting should be a big money maker, that is, if the weather man is on his good behavior.
