The Washington herald., 1917-04-01
Everything in Readiness
For Inaugural at Bowie

have been placed so as to facilitate the
handling of money. both in the buying
and the Cashing OF tickets.
Mr. A. B. Dade, who will WELD the
flag. is too well known in these parts
for Introduction. His work has been
excellent in the South all winter. and
he is looked upon as the premier
starter of the country. This fact is
shown by reason of his many offers
from track managers all over the
country. but as Mr.. Dade is always
booked up to the last moment, little
chance is there of his accepting addi
tional work.
"Mortie" Mahoney will be in charge
of the entire mutual plant. and he,
like Dade, needs no introduction. Mr..
Mahoney has also charge of several
Canadian tracks where he superintends
the workings of the parimutual ma
chimes at these courses.
Capt. c. E. Duhain. head of the Pink
erton detective force. will be on hand
with his assistants. including Eddie"
Shevlin. an extremely popular fellow
amongst racegoers. Capt. Duhain is
known from coast to coast as one of
the most efficient detectives in the
country, and little chance at all has
an "unwelcome" to get by the gates
He has a memory that is remarkable
and can call by name nearly every
man that goes through the turn
slides at every track in the country
There are several likely apprentice
boys who have been working horses
at Benning all this winter who will
be in the saddle, and some of them
are said to have the making of star
jockeys.
Benning course has turned out
many good boys. and most likely will
keep up it's record
Jimmy" Butwell, perhaps one of
the best boys in the country. will be
seen in the pigskin at Bowie. But
well has rested up all winter at his
home in Baltimore. and he reports
himself to be in grand shape. He
recently went under an operation for
throat trouble. but has fully recov-
cred.
The grand "old man" of the turf. who
IS the dean of the present riders is Ros-
coe TroXler. Troxler has been riding
for twenty years. but has had an enviabic
reputation at the Tia Juana course
| TroXler shines as a two-year-old rider
and it is a safe bet that he will be first
away from the post everytme.
General Manager O'Hara, OF the Bowie
course, stated today that in his opinion
the forthcoming meeting will be the best
| that has been seen in these Darts ~
| many day. There is an abundance OF
racing material, good jockeys and coupled
with a good track. he is of the opinion
! that the racing at his course will eclipse
anything seen around Maryland in many
a day
MIchaels and Gerharty. who will have
charge Of the catering at the track have
made many new improvements and every
thing that the market affords can be
secured at their establishment. Mr..
IMichaels has been catering on race tracks
for a score OF years and has the business
down to a science.
