meeting, will ride Bohemia, the pre-
ferred one of the Albemarle Stable s
entry. r. Wvndham Walden, who trains
Bohemia, had quite a fight TO land
Baird. but was successful and had TO
biu high.
gagged a rider for Santa Catalina, it is
possible that Hoffman, the youngster
who wen with The Yelled Lady yester-
day, will have the mount. Hoffman is
not the best rider in the world, but
probably the best whose services Mr..
Walden can obtain.
George Odom has been engaged to
pilot Floral King in the Aqueduct race,
and Frank Regain has engaged Grim
minis to ride his Ascot Oaks winner,
Witch Hazel.
Burns will ride Buttons, and Fuller,
probably, will have the leg UP on Rose

by Frankie O'NeiIl, who rode her to
many successes last year.
An interesting feature of the racing
yesterday was the success of horses
carrying the purple and red jacket of
Miss Thelma Walden Littlefeld, the
countrys youngest horse owner.
Tickle and The Yelled Lady were both
winners in her colors and the followers
OF the fortunes of the house of Little

backed yesterday, and although al
ways outrun by Tickle he beat the odds
on favorite, Parer, with ease. Vendor is
a candidate for the Washington Muir

The defeat of Pater was shock to
the talent. The Virginia bred young
