BALTIMORE. April 1S.-Several car
loads Of horses arrived at the Pimlico
track this afternoon from Washington,
and more are expected today. BY to-
morrow every stall on the grounds will
be occupied. There never has been 50
many horses at Pimlico to taks part
in a race meeting. Not even in the
good old days when the Baltimore
course was the common battlefield for
the thoroughhreds of the North, South.
East and West. were so many animals
quaTtered at the track
The officials Of the Maryland Jockey
Club are much gratified at the interest
being taken by the hOTsemen in The
coming meeting and Secretary Riggs is
sanguine that the meet VIII be the best
ever held az the Baltimore course under
its new management, both from dnan-
cial standpoint and in a racing way.
The program arranged viii suit horses
Of all classes and there is every pros
pect that the fields viii be the largest
ever known, which, of course, will re-
suit in good prices and brisk betting.
Approve New Betting Pavilion.
The new betting pavilion which has
been provided just back OF the grand
stand. has been greatly approved Of
by the horsemen who arrived today It
viii accommodate comfortably thirty to
forty booths, and It is safe to say that
there will be enough layers on hand 10
iii il completely. The old pavilion.
which was under the grandstand, was
SO dark and cramped that it made
things uncomfortable both for bettors
ana layers. The new one is open on all
sides, which will afford plenty of light
and ventilation.
Owners OF horses that have been rae
ing at Benning will be likely to find it
far from easy to beat the animals that
have been at PimlicO for several weeks.
There are upward Of 100 thorOughbreds
that have been prepared at the local
course and they are as fit to run as
any horses that have been racing at
Benning or the winter tracks.
Clyde Has Good Youngsters.
The stable of Thomas CLYDE has been
at PimlicO for several weeks and among
the twO-year-olds are some colts that
are said 10 be high class. Several other
owners have youngsters that will make
the best of those that raced at Benning
extend themselves. Jubilee. who was
generally regarded as about the best
youngster shown at Washington. is in
the Clabaugh Memorial. but he will
have his work cut out TO win. for there
are several dark ones that have not
appeared in public. Fred Littleheld. the
owner OF Jubilee, is anxious to win the
Clabaugh, for he is q resident of Mary
land and is anxious to put his best
foot forward. Mr.. LittIefeld bred Jubi-
lee and regards the colt as very nearly
first class. lie says that Jubilee is a
faster and sOunder horse than Computer
vas at this time last year. and it viii
be remembered Computer brought ST 500
when sold.
Walden Has Strong Stable.
Robert Walden. son Of the late
Wyndham Walden, who always took
a keen interest in the Baltimore meet
inss, has rong stable and will race
all of them here. He thinks Lord Bo-
anerges will be a star during the meet
ting. Last fall this colt was only a
fair performer at Pimlico. but ne has
improved so much over winter that he
viii be a hard horse to beat in nearly
any company. He Is fast and Mr..
Walden thinks he viii stay better than
he did in his only start over a distanne
at the Benning meet Belle Of Jessa-
mine is another from which Mr.. Walden
expects much. The Belle was a mighty
good mare in the early part of the
meeting here last fall. but she is a deli
cate miss and win not stand a great
deal Of racing. Skillfully handled she
will hold her own IN good company.
Dade Is the Starter.
Starter Dade viii again preside ct
the barrier. and Secretary Riggs and
Judge Frank Bryan viii be in the stand
while the stewards will be Samuel Ross
of Washington; II. J. Morris and VIII
liam Manly. John Boden, the we'll
known racing experts who has recently
been elected secretary at Brighton, will
be the racing secretary.
