7 twenty-five
Day Meeting
Scheduled

The stables of Kenneth Gllpin,
Cleveland Putnam, L. H. Hay
maker and Joe Notter are among
the most recent arrivals at Della
ware Park, where beginning tomor-
row, the Delaware SteeplechaSe
and Race Association will stage a
runners meeting of IS days that
will be characterized by purse
distribution Of $4,000 ana the
inauguration of seven ANIMALS
that will gross SIS 900 in added
money. One of the best Of these
stakes, the $4,000 Kent Handicap,
a dash of a mile and a sixteenth
for 3-year-olds exclusively, will be
the salutary feature. with II to Is
OF the fleetest colts in training
competing.
Teddy's Squaw and Teddy's
Star, daughters of the late Teddy,
are in the Gilpin lot, and they
must have revealed something
worthwhile in private or they
would hardly have been named for
so important an event as the Kent
Handicap, to say nothing OF the
New Castle, a $4,000 special at
a mile and a sixteenth that will
attract a number of the smarteSt
mares 3-year-oldS and over in
training getaway day. July "a.
Teddy's Squaw won last Decem-
Der at Charles Town. The other is
green. Teddy won worldwide fame
in France by string Sir Gallahad
Sd, Bull Dog I'd, Quatre Bras and
a score of other Grade A horses
before he was imported to this
country by Gilpin and Wallis
Armstrong to stand at Gilpin' S
Kentmere Stud, which is one of
the great thoroughbred nurseries
of the valley of Virginia. He died
there a couple of years back and
has been replaced by Granville,
a son of Gallant Fox, and Amer
ica's greatest racer of the season
past.
Sponsors Charles Town
Gilpin has leased Granville from
William Woodward, chairman of
the Jockey Club, whose silks the
son of Gallant Fox bore as two
and three-year-old. Gilpin is the
chief sponsor of the racing at
Charles Town and its presiding
steward.
His candidates for the Brandy
wine and Sussex handicaps, gal
lopS of one mile and a sixteenth
and one mile and quarter that
will pay $500 and $4,000, reSpec-
lively, July 3 and July II. are the
veteran Buck Langhorne and the
four-year-old Oyster Bay. Buck,
q son of Dunlin and Lady Emmel-
inc, is one of the toughest handi-
cap horses in training. Last year
he won seven of 81 races and fin
iShed second and third enough
times to earn $4,000, which was
not half bad in not-too-good
season.
The depression is only just
around the corner on its way out.
Oyster Bay, a brother of Teddy'S
Star, started only twice as two
year-old. but he won one of four
races last season. He is still bit
raw. Possibly he is going to ripen
into a good horse as Buck Lang
horne did last year. He looks the
making of one anyhow. Gilpin
has the Teddy fillies Tedmelia
and Teddy's Own in the Polly
Drummond, a $4,000 dash of five
furlongs from which colts and
geldings will be excluded that will
be run getaway day with the New
Castle handicap.
Starred in Maryland
Putnam, who halls from the Pa
ciflc coast, has brought down
from Long Island that capable
handicap horse Moonside, which
was going strong in Maryland last
fall and did not do badly in Cali
fornia last winter along with
Emily Jane, Pompey's Squaw, the
Splinter Nautch, the three-year-
olds Black rhapsody and White
Sand and the two-year-old Susi
O., Robber Bold, Wing and Wing,
My Debut and West Sea- Emily
Jane is in the New Castle handi-
cap. but Pompey's S4uaW is not
which is rathel surprising. Pom
pegs Squaw beats pretty good
horses when she is right and she
was going strong around June l
when the Delaware Park Stakes
closed.
Moonside S in the Brandywine
and Sussex handicapS. SuSi @. is
iii the Polly Drummond and Rob-
Der Bold and Wing and Wing are
in the Christiana, a $4,000 dash
Of five furlongs and a half that
will be run July 3 and in which
only colts and geldingS may start.
Emily Jane, daughter of Bos-
tonian and FricaSee, did not win
at two, but she scored a couple of
times in California last winter
and she must be very we'll thought
Of to be in the New Castle to the
exclusion of Pompey's Squaw. Put
nam is the delight of racing secre-
taries like Hirsch Jacobs, who sad
dies more winners than any other
man of the profession. Most days
he has starters in two or more
races and they are always fit.
