Their. Charges.
HORSES STILL ARRIVING

Bowie was a busy place yesterday as
the horsemen wanted to take advantage
OF the pleasant weather and had their
charges out breezing and working from
morning until sunset. Jimmy Arthur
and other trainers declared to James
+. O'Hara, the genial manager of the
Southern Maryland Agricultural Asso-
citation, that they were ready TO start
at any time. ....
Several new stables arrived during the
day. among them some from Cuba. The
difference between those that had a win
ter's rest and those that were worked at
the Cuban plant was quite noticeable. the
latter looking thin compared to those
that wintered in home quarters.
Richard +. Carman, who raced string
OF eight at New Orleans, says they are
all ready for the opening of the cam
palgn at Bowie, which starts next Sat-
urday and runs for fourteen days Many

at Bowie from the South with his

father. William KarrIck. will come in
this week with the horses of the
stables of Harry X. Knapp and Schuy-
Ter J.. Parsons. The best known of
the performance in the elder Karrick's
stable are the veteran miller. Yankee
Notions, and the 4-year-olds, Phosphor
and Sharpshooter. Phosphor is A
Splinter OF merit. There were. in fact
few short di. lance runners that had
any business with the son of Peep
O Day and Myrtelus on the New York
tracks last summer. He defeated the
best at such distances as three-quar-
tiers of a mile and seven furlongs, but
he could not get any farther. Sharp
shooter. one of the best of the dis
lance running 3-year-o!ds of the sea-
son of 1915, is to be Mr.. Parsons
