Beautiful Delaware Park, this states one thoroughbred race course of major proportions, tomorrow afternoon ushers in its fifteenth summer session with a stellar program featuring the annual renewal of the 0,000 added Wilmington Handicap, a six-furlong speed test for three-year-olds and uyfard. Before the 33-day meeting is concluded on July 5 racegoers in this area will witness the running of 14 stakes events, the added money of which will total 40,-000. Post time will be 2:00 p. m. daylight time. For the fourth straight year, officials of Delaware Park have designated the opening as "Veterans Day" and appropriate ceremonies will be held, with the guests including Governor Elbert N. Carvel and Lt.-Gov. Alexis I. duPont Bayard. All track employes will wear the familiar buddy poppies. Cinda Lone Filly Entered Returning to the Wilmington Handicap, racing secretary J. Gil Haus has listed 11 speedsters in his overnight field, with the highweight entrant being F. Ambrose Clarks veteran Tea-Maker, who will handle a 121-pound package. Others in the line-up are: Alan T. Clarkes Senator Joe 119, the coupling of Walter Edgars Jack the Great and G. M. Cohens Jess Linthi-cum 117 and 116 pounds, respectively, Stanley C.

Jeffords Yildiz and Marlboro Stud Farms Jet Master 113 each, Jouett Shouses Cinda 112, Blue Stone Farms War Phar 109, and Brookmeade Stables Safety 104 pounds. Cinda is the lone filly in the Wilmington, but she certainly rates stout consideration Continued on Page Three Eleven Vie in Wilmington As Delaware Park Opens .Cinda, Jet Master Face Older . Foes in Tea-Maker, Senator Joe Continued from Page One off general form. She has won five of six races this season and has gleaned nearly 0,000, largely through her scores in the Cherry Blossom, Betsy Ross and a division of the Colonial. The Occupy miss hasnt been beaten this year while sprinting, her lone defeat coming at a mile and a sixteenth in Laurels Chesapeake Stakes. Cinda, at present, is without a rider in "the Wilmington. Senator Joe, like Cinda, is a Maryland-bred, and a very shifty one to say the least. He has been first past "the judges three times in five starts this season but was disqualified on one occasion. In his last appearance, which was on May 5, he established a new five and one-half furlong Pimlico track record of 1:06 in accounting for the Primary Day Handicap. The Ala-king colt, an eight-time winner last year, will be ridden by Bobby Mitchell." Tea-Maker, a versatile sort who seems to improve with age the son of Only One is now nine accounted for the Jamaica Handicap during the New York spring season for his lone success in a five-race campaign. In his most recent engagement he was beaten about eight lengths while sixth behind Dark Peter in the Roseben, which was run over a slow track. Dave Gorman will be down from New York to handle the saddle chores. Repetoire, winner of eight of his 16 starts last year as a three-year-old, has failed to reattain such form during the current campaign. He has, however, shown signs of improvement and the Wilmington could be the spot for his initial stakes success of the year. Jess Linthicum and Jack the Great, who have been on the Maryland-New Jersey circuit, have performed well this season for trainer Frank Bonsai. Jess Linthicum has won two of his three races, being unplaced in the Primary Day at Pimlico. Jack the Great has won three of seven, being timed in 1:11 in his most recent Pimlico sortie. Jet Master and Northern Star arrived from JNew York, where the former recently scored his initial victory in four starts this year. He was a very proficient two-year-old last season and may be returning to that good form. Northern Star, an Irish-bred who won six of 18 races last season, is still seeking to garner brackets this term after eight starts. Safety is another who has yet to score a victory in a quartet of starts, while Yildiz went nothing for four in Florida and has since been freshened. War Phar seems a bit overmatched.
