ing OH Bowie Track

BALTIMORE, March 29.-Whilc it is
generally conceded at the Benning track
that the Broomsticl.--D F. colt, for
which William Preston Burch made an
offer of $4,000 last week--is the star
of the division of the Harry Payne
Whitney stable Albert Simons has as
sembled at Bowie track for the April
races of the Southern Maryland Agri-
cultural Association, which will begin
next Tuesday and continue through to
the 18th of April, it is also agreed at
Bennlng that Simons has other young
sters that will make their marks this
spring.
Of a black colt by Peter Pan, out of
Paintbrush, which seems to be nat
ural breaker. This fellow is big all
over, a typical Peter Pan, in fact. and
he is admirably bred. His dan-Paint
brush-is a daughter of Broomstick
ard Arttul and half-sister of that
remarkably handsome Rock Sand horse
of few seasons back, Sam Slick
Paintbrush was the best horse Artful
has sent to the races. She just missed
being first class. The other colt of the
Simons string is the Broomstick-
Daisy F. youngster already mentioned.
FLIES.
TRINITY Made and Active
Probably the best connected of the
fillies is a daughter of Broomstick and
Cherokee Rose, which claims Rosie
O'Grady for half-sister. This one
hasn't q great deal to boast of in the
matter of size, but she is trinity made
and active. She is better tempered
than was Rosie O'Grady. Rosie's in
tractibility last season, 1t may be re-
membered, prevented Rowe from max
ing good his mid-winter boast that he
would win either the Kentucky Derby
or the Preakress with her. Rosie did
not so much as get to the post.
Rosie ''Grady and this half-sister of
hers by Broomstick belong to a family,
the family Of Belle Rose, which is
making a considerable stir In American
racing just now. Pennant, Sweep,
Transvaal, Iron Mask and Novelty are
nf the same female line.
Another bay daughter Of Broomstick
in the Simons barn that has attracted
a lot of attention at Benning calls
Leayonara dam and both Bromo and
Leochares own brothers. Also she is
a sister of Scoots, q ree-year-old
winner Of last season and tilly of
some speed, although no such horse
as Bromo was or Leochares is. This
one is sure to race the first week of
the Bowie meeting and she will, very
likely, win.
Others Of Simons's two-year- old fillies
arc daughters Of Broomstick and
Stamina and Morningsidc, Of Peter
Pan and Remembrance, and Of All
Gold and Hearts. The Morningside
flly is half-sister of Samuel C.
Hildreth's promising Preakness Stakes
and Western Derby candidate, Cirrus,
colt by Tracery, bred in England, for
which Hildreth had to pay $1,000 last
fall.
The All Cold Hearts filly is chest
nut of size and finish. Hearts, a
daughter of Broomstick and Queen
Hearts, an own sister of Artful, is
herself an own sister Of Tarts and
Regina and half-sister of Trumps.

many sulkers. But he had good filiy
in Maryland last spring in Cresson.
A Promising Gelding
The only horses past two years old
