Ryder, owner of the Kentucky Derby nominee, Blackbirder, has arrived from her home in Syracuse and will remain for the season.

During his long connection with the turf, Anderson has missed few spring meetings here. As trainer H. J. Thompson has signified intentions of bringing more of the Edward R. Bradley horses here from the farm than in several years, the Downs management has obtained the private stable, constructed several years ago by C. E.

Fergusons four-year-old Vitamin B. promises to be in fine form for his engagement in the Clark Handicap on the opening day of the meeting. He worked three-quarters over a slow track in 1:17, and seemed to want more. If they can agree on terms, W. J. Hirsch may take over William E. Schmidts Superior Stable string of eight. Hirsch has been looking after the horses since William Irvine left for the East to assume charge of J. U. Grattbns stable in Maryland: Hirsch is a son of Max Hirsch and brother of Mary.
