Del., June 21.— A triple feature program headed by the Spring Maiden Steeplechase Handicap, will be offered tomorrow by Delaware Park and well-matched fields are listed for all three of the headline attractions. Mrs. E. duPont Weirs Galactic, who scored not long ago in Belmont Parks division of this race, will be highweight in the local running, under 156 pounds and there is every indication that he will be a short-priced favorite, particularly since he is Delaware-owned. Opposing him will be Vera Braggs Copper Beech. Brook E. Parkers vSander, Lt. Comdr. Bayard Sharps Lieut. Well and Lord Hairan. Mrs. E. A. Whitneys Stunt Man and Brookmeade Stables Fleettown.
