Weber, Palmer and other club mem
bers going there last night, while sew
eral will go this morning.
Weather permitting, the races will
be held this afternoon, and local horse
men are eager to see how the local
horses will perform on the fast half
mile track at Birmingham after the
mile track at Riverside. The race be-
tween the Birmingham horses will
probably be the fastest one on the
card. Will Bramblett beat Tom Boam
on July A, the half in l :04 "a Pro-
dictions are made, however, that the
latter will trot mile in 2:10 before
the season is over, and If he Is good
today, there will be a horse race for
keeps. Strathmeathe and Louise both
are said to be as fast as either Of the
llISl TWO.
Hal Allmont will have to fight it out
with jerks, f. B. Johnstons gray
geiding-the son of Hal Woodward,
who used to pace so fast at Riverside
and Harry. another Birmingham horse.
Dolly Brown was to have started in
this race, but Mr.. Fisk decided not to
ship her
Elsie Hummer was one OF the two
local horses to win when the Birming :
ham invasion was made at Riverside.
she won the hardest heat of her race in
1922 1-2, and Sarah Jane Robey won
her race at Riverside in 2:24. II Blue
Jacket is not much faster than that.
DR.. Longs mare has a good show this
afternoon
The race between Riverside. Gilbert
C., Annie ID. and Clyde looks like a hot
proposition. 1t looks like the Fred $.
Wilkes mare as she won her two heats
at Riverside in 2:2O and 2:22 and looked
like she had a lot of speed left.
Dick Clark. the Sentinel Wilks stall
ion ion beat Allie Lampkin in 2:a7.
galfs horse is good. he should not
have much trouble with the two Biz
mirgham horses.
The horse that 1T looks like Ben But
terworth Will have to beat is Marcus
DAILY. This horse Is said to be pretty
fast, and If breeding counts for any
thing. he is good one, being sired by
SSta!ttlnwo3d 1904, son of Nutwood. dam
Nilene by Strathmore. Marcus DALI
has not been raced this year. but has
done a mile in 2;22 IA. and is said to
be in fine shape. He will have to lower
that mark today, though. if Ben But
terworth Is good. as on June 18th the
blind Burleigh geldlng. after ba /
start. finished second in 2:23 IA, the
last quarter being one of the fastest
seen at Riverside in many Il day Mr..
Cook will drive him. and while there
are three Birmingham horses against
him. 1t LOOKS like 1t will take better
than 2:2o to beat him.
The local horsemen are determined
to bring that cup back to Montgomery,
and If they do, it will be interesting
