SPRINT ROCKINGHAM FEATURE 17 Crack Short Distance Horses in Tomlin Handicap. Rough Time, Porters Mite, Golden Voyage, Ariel Toy, Clingendaal and Mar Le Among Entries. SALEM, N. H., July 28 One of the greatest sprint races offered in New England this season will be run at Rockingham Park tomorrow. Seventeen smart performers, representing fifteen interests, have been named overnight for the Tomlin Handicap at six furlongs with an added value of ,000. The entries are headed by J. Yancey Christmas Rough Time, winner of the Jennings Handicap at Pimlico and the Rowe Memorial at Bowie; W. E. Boeings Porters Mite, winner of the Belmont Futurity a year ago; H. W. Jacksons Ariel Toy, winner of the Arkansas Derby; Samuel Bachrachj Golden Voyage, conqueror of El Chico, and second in the Shevlin Stakes to Volitant; and Clodion, winner of the Bristol Handicap at Narragansett and the Bunker Hill at Suffolk Downs. Others named for the test are Clingendaal and Drift Along, of the A. C. C. Stable; Mar Le and Many Stings of the Le Mar Stock Farm; Mrs. P. A. Shaws Stage Beauty; H. M. Babylons Brown Knight; Glen Riddle Farms Tall Story; P. A. Markeys Ben jam; J. W. Y. Martins Slow Motion; J. E. Millers Unassisted; young Tommy Heards Be Blue, winner of the sprint feature on opening day, and Mrs. Emil Denemarks Court Dance. FIGHTING FOX MISSING. Racing secretary John P. Turner has been predicting a field of eighteen probable starters. Fighting Fox, which was given an impost of 126 pounds, is the only one of the first seven high weights missing from the entries. Rough Time will carry top impost of 120" pounds, three more than Porters Mite. Ariel Toy and Golden Voyage will shoulder 116, Clingendaal 115 and Clodion 114. Rough Time looms up as the probable favorite, because of his Maryland victories and his fast time trials, and the New York invaders, Porters Mite and Golden Voyage, will not lack for supporters. Porters Mite has shown a return to peak form while Golden Voyage was blown out a quarter mile in :23 this morning. Indications were that a crowd of more than 25,000 would set new attendance records for the popular old Rock.
