BRILLIANT BAND OF ELIGIBLE Crack Youngsters of Both Sexes in ,000 Dover Stakes I Spectacular Charlotte Girl Among Nominees to Delaware Park Stakes — Possessor of a Brilliant Record. WILMINGTON, Del., May 30.— Possibly the identity of the youngster that will win the ,000 Dover Stakes Inaugural, a dash of five furlongs for two-year-olds of both sexes, that will be a co-feature with the Brandywine Handicap of the racing at Delaware Park, Saturday, July 11, hasnt been disclosed yet. But some of the smartest of both sexes that have appeared under silks since it became possible to race so-called two-year-olds January 1, are among the ninety-one eligibles, notable Ernest Sachsenmaiers Charlotte Girl,, the Christiana Stables Briarlet, William F. Hitts Balloter, Mrs. W. Plunkett Stewarts Cooling Spring, William H. Berris Star Runner, W. L. Branns Challepon and Fictitious, the Starmount Stables Gogetit, Mrs. Payne Whitneys Cherry Jam and Roll and Toss, William Ziegler, Jr.s El Chico, Ral Parrs War Moon, T. J. Hills Post Luck, William Elders Hardy Jim and J. P. Jones Oak Apple and the Brandywine Stables Ghostflyer. SEVENTH STRAIGHT. When Charlotte Girl, a daughter of Cohort and Virginella, defeated Star Rnnner, Lerno, Ghostflyer, Post Luck and Pomary in the thirtieth Pimlico Nursery, at Pimlico, earning ,810, she scored her seventh straight victory. She has only one winning race to go to equal a record established a few seasons back by Goldey F., a 50 yearling of a Saratoga auction sale, which won eight straight before Black Look stopped her at Belmont Park. With 6,845 to her credit, she is now the seasons biggest juvenile gleaner. At Havre de Grace she won an Aberdeen, at Bowie a Kindergarten, at Hia-leah a Nursery and a couple of overnight races. Briarlet, a bay son of Sun Briar and Superlette, has had only one chance, and he took advantage of it as an ,000 yearling should. Selby Burch sprung him at Belmont Park Thursday past in a sprint of four furlongs and a half down the Widener straightaway, and he tow-roped eleven other maidens in quick time. He belongs to the Christiana Stables, a Delaware establishment as the name implies. His daddy, a ,000 yearling, was a juvenile standout in 1917, and he has founded a thoroughbred dynasty, the dynasty to which Sun Beau, earner of 76,-000 in money and about 0,000 in hockable trophies, belongs. QUICK WINNER. Ghostflyer, a ,500 yearling, won at the first asking at Havre de Grace, and, although he does not seem to be able to beat Charlotte Girl, he is doing pretty well. He belongs to another Delaware stable, Senator Donald Ross. Star Runner, second in 1 the Pimlico Nursery, beat a field that in-I eluded Rose Baby and Balloter at Pimlico May 10 and War Moon licked a bunch of Maryland-breds at the Baltimore city track May 3. He is home-bred. Parr races his own exclusively. Post Lucks best day so far was May 2, on which, at Pimlico, he defeated nine maidens, Alfred Gwynne Van-derbilts Hysterical, another Dover possibility, and Balloter among them, unless May 5 is counted a better. It was on May 5 that he finished second to Charlotte Girl in the Masquerader Stakes and beat Ghostflyer, Star Struck and Redfoot.
