t HAVRE DE GRACE NOTES 4 Steward Chris FitzGerald is a visitor from California. A. J. Plack, accompanied by jockey Johnny Leyland will leave for Aurora, at the conclusion of this meeting. Word arrived from Toronto, Ontario, of the death of the veteran trainer William J. Donohue, who in-late years conditioned the horses of the Hastings Stable, owned by Dr. W. P. St. Charles and raced the useful performer Battle of Killicrankie in his own silks. Donohue, in failing health for the past few years, was in his seventy-second year and his passing will be mourned by his host of friends on the Canadian turf as well as in the United States. Stake blanks embracing nine stakes to be run by the Detroit Racing Association during the spring meeting including the 5,000 added Detroit Derby at a mile and three-sixteenths were distributed among the horsemen at Havre de Grace. Entries for the Derby close on May 15. Roy "Happy" Gordon, who is serving as outrider at Havre de Grace, has been appointed to serve in the same capacity at Pimlico during the Maryland Jockey Club spring meeting. Jockey Raymond Workman departed for New York to report to trainer T. J. Healey of the C. V. Whitney stable. Cycle, winner of the Paumonok Handicap for the Howe Stable on opening day at Jamaica, has been returned to Maryland. In addition to training eight of the Edward F. Seagram stable performers, trainer Frank Gilpin has an equal number to condition for Mrs. T. Stevenson, J. C. Palmer, R. H. New, Mrs. F. Gilpin and estate of F. J. Ryan. His clients are all Canadian patrons. Capt. F. Eaton has the useful platers Guilder, Palasa, All Ready, Carminowe and Pre Sea available here for Maryland racing. The horses were campaigned during the winter in Florida. Bryce Wing moved into Pimlico with a draft of jumpers that will be campaigned during the meeting at the Hilltop course. Stall application blanks for the meeting at Washington Park and Arlington Park are being distributed among the horsemen by racing secretary Charles J. McLennan. Dick Handlen, who saddled Gold Seeker for her handy score in the Chesapeake Saturday, will ship his star to Kentucky to perform in the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs. Handlen reserved his decision as to whether the daughter of Messenger and Golden Fair will be s-ent after the 0,000 Kentucky Derby until she has been given another work.
