ward. Corn Tassel and Campfire.
The ever popular Rehberger. secre-
tary of the association is now at
Hevre de Grace getting ready for the
opening day. He reports the course in
fine shape and prophesies the best
meeting ever held at the course. Mr..
Rehberger said:
In spite OF the competition Of Bel
mont Park and Aqueduct. the coming
IlEGlAuE. Au0Ntus Will DE ANe nNEk
Havre de Grace has known. And the
competition OF Aqueduct will help
rather than hurt it. For there viii
be no racing in Canada this fan and
IL there was none at AqUeduct, Huyre
ed Grace would be called upon 10
take care OF more horses than could
possibly be accommodated and the
fields in stakes and purses alike would
be too big and unwieldy for successful
handling and true racing. As far as
support goes Hayre de Grace draws
! its crowds from Philadelphia, mainly.
ard from Baltimore and Washington.
and the racing folk OF these cities pay
little attention TO the sport about New
/ York"
