MRS, w. w. Adams solid cam.
paigner. Arthur Murray, with
George McMullen and il6 pounds
aboard. Is rated topweight and this
son Of tzalcyon- Smoke Pot, which
was formerly known as Paint Pot,
has demonstrated his versatility In
races run during the past year. IN
Florida he sprlnted home In front OF
good fields IN the fast time Of
lilo 4-5, while as recently Is last
Saturday he rolnped to an easy win
over q mile and Q half In q fashion
that showed he really loved the dis
lance. Last Saturdays field was
decidedly inferior 70 the company
Ia which he findls himself tolnors
row. but Arthur Murray will be on
the premises when the wire Is
reached.
Pebble Choice
Probable favcrlte will be H. II.
Haag's nice horse. Devalue. an Inn
pressive winner here In the Roger
Williams Handicap. run over ono
mile and q sixteenth on April nth.
Under the feather OF TO- pouonds
this son Of Espino won the Roger
williams pulling on from Mixer,
Par Avion and Arthur Murray. but
the shift In next Saturdays weights
may prove steadier. The clever
Cuban apprentice Marcos pena,
will be In the pilot house and Us
may be q good price for him.
The problem horse Of the race q
Rohby Robertsons greatly im-
proved sprlnter. X. DOrko, which
has won three straight here ut the
meeting against steadily improving
company. This fellow Is weighted
a. 40 and win be helped greatly BY
the services Of the accomplished
Charlie Wahier. 3 rider who has no
superior on the grounds. There d
q question IS to whether this son
Of Balko can stay this distance Of
ground: he has never yet been asked
q question beyond six fuFlongs, but
the canny Scot. Robhy Robertson,
probably has the answer to this ana
the fact that X. Dorko win 80 70
post must reflect Robby's opinion.
Mrs. wallace Renard'g Mixer,
weighted ct 106, was coming fast
at x. Dorko IN last Saturday,
