Stars of the Turf to Be Seen
This Week in Stafford Purse
and Other Events.

BALTIMORE, Nd. April 29-This
weeks feature events Of the Maryland
Jockey Club at Pimlico will bring out
the best thoroughbreds In training, and
the talent will witness some highly in
teresting sport. AS on Saturday, there
will be seven events this afternoon with
no less than three big races, and on the
whole the card seems to lay away over
that OF the opening day. Today's pro-
gram will be marked by the running Of
the Stafford purse, for three-year-olds, at
mile; the Baltimore steeplechase, for
maiden four-year-olds and upward, at
two miles. and the Driving Park selling
handicap, for three-year-olds and up, at
six furlongs.

timbertopbers have been elected and the
field will likely be larger than has faced

the bunch which will line up for the

they may not be as frequent as one might
think by glancing at the entries. The
favorite Will be A.. D. PARIS Trudo. but

those who will be making their debut

by Gill Garth, who will, the wise ones
think, head the list Of winners in the
struggles over the brush.
