more racing fans will buy 25 50 or 100 bonds to gain admission to the Queens County Jockey Club track to witness the fiftysixth running of the Dwyer Stakes The Dwyer incidentally has been doubled in value this year be ¬ coming one of the richest stakes for three yearolds and it has drawn a field of 10 Derbyage horses who promise to provide a contest well worth seeing seeingLast Last years War Bond Day was at Bel mont and it raised fantastic sums because wealthy persons were permitted to credit somewhat extraneous purchases to that day This year in accordance with the expressed wishes of the Treasury Depart ¬ ment the emphasis is on small purchases and the prospects are that about 1500000 worth of bonds will be sold soldEstimate Estimate 1500000 Sale SaleThere There should be a steady advance sale at the bond booths at Aqueduct in the Perm station at Times Square and in several other localities It has been noticable that many patrons have been going straight from the cashiers windows after winning a moderate wager to put their profits in a War Bond Day admission bond Pur ¬ chasers of 25 and 50 bonds will be given grandstand admissions while buyers of ofContinued Continued

clubhouse admis ¬ sions sionsWhile While there is no limit on the size of the bonds that may be purchased these War Bonds must be purchased for the specific immediate purpose of obtaining admission to the track There will be no auctioning of boxes and no wholesale purchase by racing associations will be credited to re ¬ ceipts of War Bond Day DayThe The estimate of 1500000 may be ex ¬ tremely conservative as it is based on an attendance of 30000 with all bond buyers taking only the minimum value of bonds necessary to gain admission to the grand ¬ stand or clubhouse The crowd may well be much larger than 30000 and there is no doubt that many patrons will buy War Bonds of a face value many times the re ¬ quired figure figureThe The Dwyer shapes up as a race well cal ¬ culated to attract a capacity crowd This mile and onequarter test which is at allowance conditions has drawn a group of the best threeyearolds in training headed by William Ziegler Jrs Bounding Home This hardhitting son of Espino surprised the unobservant when he once more fin ¬ ished with his customary stretch charge to pass Calumet Farms Derby and Preakness winner Pensive in the 50000 Belmont Stakes Bounding Home must pick up 126 pounds in the Dwyer the same impost he carried in the Belmont but will be conced ¬ ing from 6 to 16 pounds to his nine rivals and the distance is a quartermile shorter Its a tough assignment assignmentAlfred Alfred P Parkers By Jimminy may be favored over the Ziegler colt in this race The son of Pharamond II gets a dozen pounds from the Belmont winner and is a vastly improved gelding After beating G D Wideners Lucky Draw in an overnight race he came back to take last Saturdays Shevlin in impressive style beating Green tree Stables Stir Up By Jimminys con ¬ nections were convinced they had a Derby winner but the gelding went wrong shortly before the Run for the Roses and had to miss that engagement and all the other spring classics In his present form hell take a lot of beating and the presence of hustling Ted Atkinson in the saddle is hardly a detriment to his chances chancesOriginally Originally Brooklyn Derby DerbyThe The complete field for the

Dwyer brothers unfor ¬ gettable Hanover beat Dunbine and Bon zomarte with Jimmy McLaughlin in the saddle Isaac Murphy captured the first renewal aboard Emperor of Norfolk Other good horses who won this fixture when it was the Brooklyn Derby include Dobbins 1894 Handspring 1896 Peter Pan 1907 and Fair Play sire of Man o War in 1908 1908The The Dwyer was moved to Aqueduct in 1913 after the hiatus of New York racing due to the Hughes law It remained the Brooklyn Derby however until 1918 when it was given the name of the butcher boys That 1918 race is memorable for the fact that it brought together the win ¬ ners of the two divisions of the split Preak ¬ ness of that year War Cloud and Jack Hare Jr with the former winning and Johren running third thirdSince Since that time the Dwyer has been won by such sterling horses as Purchase Man o War his toughest race in which he beat John P Grier Grey Lag Dunlin Ladkin American Flag Crusader Genie Gallant Fox Twenty Grand Faireno Omaha Johnstown and Whirlaway There may not be one of the caliber of this illustrious group in tomorrows field but it is still early in the year and one of the leading candidates may yet redeem this somewhat discredited generation of threeyearolds
