Not unlike the matinee events which
nave preceded 1t, today's card at
Weequahic Park is an attractive one.
The list of entries is a large and APP
parently we'll balanced one, and several
horses that have never before been
seen in action over the local track ure
among the NIB entered. In the IS
trot and pace seven horses have been
entered, two of which are newcomers.
Olive Virgins would appear to be the
pick of the outfit, yet George Stengel's
entry in this event is an unknown
quantity, and, as Mr.. Stengel as a rule
goes to the races ready, it is not un-
likely that he will furnish a surprise.
1t will be recalled that he made three
entries at The last matinee, and two
of them were winners.
The 2:23 class should furn sh some
excellent sport, as a number of the best
horses in the association are eligible to
this, and it is needless to say he win
ner will lave to step soma. For this
event George Stengel has named the
bay trotting stallion Baldo, who has
trained miles very close to 2:15 over
Elkwood Farm track. In his race to-
day he will. be up against the pater
Ben Bow, Orphelia Direct and the trot-
ter In for Luck, and the g~ood-g4!ted
son of Bingara will be a very busy IN
dividual handing this bunch a defeat.
BY reason of his easy victory at the
last matinee Prince Edward will doubt
less be the choice of the railbirds in.
the 2:27 trot. But four horses are en-
tered in this race, and If the Stengel
entry is himself it is lard to figure how
they can beat him. He took a record
of 2:26A at the last matinee, and at
that time could have trotted in PA or
better. The 2:19 class will doubtless be
a hot-stuff session. Every horse named
in the race is up to something, and it
would not be at all surprising to see
this event split up, If the black mare
Ann Boyd is all right and in shape for
a race her field should have a large
time beating her, but after her mis-
fortune at Olympic Park Monday she
may not be the Ann Boyd she was a
week ago. Ben Dat, however. will be
there, and if he will stay pacing all the
way should give the bay mare Ouida a
race for her life. Elsie Ambulator will
carry the bunch like an express train

On paper the roan filly Marion, owned
by Jacob Roth. would appear to be the
class in the colt race. It is reported
that she has been a mile in 2:30, and
with a good mechanic up behind her
she should experience no difficulty in
disposing of her field.
During the past week Doc Boden-
weiser parted with the bay trotting
gelding Harry Lake, 2:24A. The horse
went into the stable of F. ]. Hall, who
will drive him on the Dad Harry
Lake is in nice shape at this time, and
il will TAX a fast horse to hand him
anything over a good piece Of road.
Jack Phillips won the 2:21 pace at
Orangeburg Tuesday with the bay
mare Catherine Clay. The race went
five heats. the Phillips entry winning
the second, fourth and fifth sessions.
Jack is surely driving a bunch Of win
ners this season. and will be danger
GUS in n race In which he starts until
the end OF the season.
The bay pacing mare Danish Belle,
owned by Doc Bodenweiser, starts in
the 2:25 pace at Freehold today. The
mare appeared to be in right good
shape and will probably go a good race
at the Monmouth county track this
afternoon.
