lAlgasir Heads Two Groups Arriving at Rockingham Park SALEM, N. H., May 26.— The already large population of the barn area at Rockingham Park was swelled today with the arrival from Garden State Park of Henry Kimballs Algasir at the head of a string of seven, and from Maryland of an establishment of 20 thoroughbreds owned by Mrs. Roy C. Hodge and trained by James L. Clarke. The Rockingham Park nine-week meeting opens on Monday with the ,500 Memorial Day Handicap as the feature of the holiday card, and it is..hoped that the popular Algasir will be named for the event. He is an important addition to the group of handicap horses now converging on the Old Rock. Arrivals have been so great that Clarence Hockridge opened his track kitchen weeks ago and throughout the meeting will continue to serve the horsemen and public at his restaurant in the barn area. The catering firm of H. M. Stevens, Inc., will operate the clubhouse and grandstand restaurants.
