DELAWARE STAKE ATffiACiS ,500 Three-Year-Old Feature at New Delaware Track Promises , to Be Brilliant Contest. .,. WILMINGTON, Del., June 17. The Diamond States Stakes inaugural, Delaware Parks supplementary feature for three-year-olds exclusively, a ,500 dash of one mile ad a furlong to be run July 10, has missed out on several of the colts that have been named for the 0,000 Kent Handicap, a gallop of one mile and a quarter that will be run June 26, the first day of the coming meeting of twenty-five days, but it has drawn a couple of smart performers the Kent failed to attract. They are the Branncastle Stables The Schemer arid Julia M. Lofts Mosawtre. Both are winners this year. The Schemer, a brown daughter of the 00,000 English stallion, Challenger, graduated from the maiden class at Belmont Park early in May and then went up to Narragansett Park to win some more. . The Branncastle Stable partners, W. L. Brann and Robert Castle, paid 00,000 in England for her daddy with the idea of bringing him to America and pointing him for the Arlington Classic that Gallant Fox won. He looked a good buy at the time. The best English two-year-old of the preceding season, he was on the market because the death of his breeder and developer, Lord Dewar, had invalidated his British engagements. This plan was frustrated when Challenger lunged into a heavy hedge reinforced by hidden barbed wire at Newmarket and suffered injuries that made training him again impossible. A son of Swynford and Sword Play, he has had fair success as a stock horse since taking up service at the Branncastle Stud in western Maryland. Challephen, a recent winner at Belmont Park and Aqueduct, is one of his sons. Chal-phene is another. If War Admiral and Pompoon stay away from the races long enough Mosawtre may develop into something of a star. A son of On Watch and Kippy in the public stable of Max Hirsch, Mosawtre is showing a decided liking for distance running.
