Canter IL said to be training well
and 1t Is possible that Trainer

the end of the meet. However, it
more than likely will be against
older opposition.
There Is a marked scarcity Of

class 3-year-old to be shown thus
far, and IL he Is to start again at
Prince Georges Park he must meet
horses of the older division.
There are but few races left in
the 3-year-old division for which
Canter and Timmara are eligible
at Bowie.
1t is possible that Timmara may
start in the Prince George Handi-
cap for $4,000 stakes which will be
run Saturday. 1t is a race for g.
year-olds and upward, and at mile

At present 1t seems j. e. Davis

The Town and Country Club greens
are not being used. The club is

being saved for that affair. Per-
