Little Harp and Erigeron Vie In Haddonfield at Camden GARDEN STATE PARK, Camden, N. J., May 10. — The Haddonfield, an allowance race of six furlongs for four-year-olds and upward, occupies the featured spot of the eight-race program down for decision tomorrow. Fourteen were named overnight for this event and in the subsequent draw for post positions, two, Thwarted and Ill Be, were placed on the "also eligible" list in that order. Topweight is shared by Little Harp, from the Shamrock stable, and Erigeron, from the Grandview Stable. Little Harp is suited in sloppy footing and forecasts for tomorrow are for betterment in overhead conditions. The going will no doubt improve, but nevertheless Little Harp looms up as the best hazard. He will be ridden by Hanford. Picture Card, who made his seasonal debut here during the past week, displayed a high order of speed. On the strength of this and expected improvement, the New Jersey-owned campaigner shapes up as the one to fear. Dr. Almac, representing Mrs. Jimmie Stewart, has had several chances since the opening of the Maryland season, and is a possibility. Erigeron, on a return to his Florida form, would be considered a formidable factor, but this fellow is on the slow side, freshening up following the arduous campaign in the semi-tropics.
