Strings.

BALTIMORE. Md, October 20.-With
| every horse fit to race. four well-known
trainers turned up al Pimlico yesterday

filled before the opening Of the fall meet
ing of the Maryland Jockey Club next
Saturday afternoon. The latest arrivals
were T. F. Coles of Virginia, Slas Veitch
Of New York, r. j. Walden of Middle

MIA. Coles had the biggest string of
racers Of the trio, as the Virginian
brought down from New York all of the
horses that raced over the metropolitan
track in the silks of c. C. Smithson,
the well known Washington turfman, and
| a couple belonging to himself. The most
| notable thoroughbreds trained by Coles is
High Private. the fonr-year-old distance
horse that was formerly in the stable of
Sam Hildreth. the leading owner in
| America. Smith claimed High Private
| which his good horse Juggler ran third.
Smithson got High Private for $1,000. and
he was regarded as a very cheap horse,
| and since Smithson has owned him he
has won himself out. In his last race
| at Jamaica. High Private won with ease
| and he will rank with the best horses
! here during the coming meeting In ad-
dition to High Private, Coles has Juggler
that was claimed by Smithson out of a
race that Bobbie Kean won last fall at
| Pimlico at 40 to 1.
| Juggler was then running for George
Odom. the famous ex-jockey. who will
bring a big lot of bangtails to the local
track today, including Trance. the holder
OF the six-furlong record at Pimlico: MINI
bus, Traveller. Bonnie kelsO and num-
Der Of two-year-olds. Scarus. a two
year-old owned by r. M. Cromwell of
