SPRUCING UP
Course Crowded Every Day
With Workers for Open
ing, April |.

Bowie is beginning to take on the
appearance of a real race track now
adays, and the course is crowded ev-
cry morning with horses getting ready
for the opening on April l. Yesterday
eight carloads came from New Or
leans. In the shipment were the
horses of James Arthur, w. A.
Burtschell. c. Fellowes, the Ken
lucky Stable. Z. Hattson, c. Freeman,
William Walker H. S. Corner. c. p.
Winfrey, E. Williams, F. Mallory and
+. Elwood. These have been racing
all winter and will be ready from the
first tap of the bell. The track is now
in excellent shape and some very good
work has already been done over it.
Reports from Benning indicate that
the horsemeu wintering at the Wash
tngton track will have to be reckoned
with when the early plums are hand
ed out. A very classy bunch Of nags
is sheltered here, and they are in a
most forward condition.
Albert Simons has a superior lot OF
two-year-olds belonging to the Whit
ney outfit in charge and some OF them
have been showing stake form. Yes
terday two of his fillies worked three
eighths from the barrier in S5 1-2, a
great performance through the Ben
ming sand.
Simons has 2-year-old colt that
the railbirds say can run as fast
as he likes. This one will be re-
served for the big races later on.
Simons has a S-year-old maiden that
worked this week six furlongs in
1:1SIa.
The older horses at Washington
are doing halves around so and are
very close to a race. Crank breezed
this week three-quarters in 1:19.
This one is being pointed for the
inaugural handicap at Bowie and il
Will be a real good one that beats
him. The Porter and Leochares are
doing finely and have shown halves
in .5Oe. Dick Carman's old cam
paigner Startling is in the bloom
OF health and has been reeling OFF

ed six furlongs in 1:1Sh yesterday.
The high-class 3-year-old Prince of
India in Mr.. Burch's stable is at
tracing much attention. Tuesday
he breezed three-eighths in .36Is.
