Horse”,, a weekly'magaxlne devoted
exciosively to the torf sad published
at Lexington. Keptncky, So it was
not with any great degree of snrprise
did readers note Mr. Finney’s com
ment about CMmden in the Febrnary
^16 issue of “Blood Horse”.
Here is how Mr. Finney expresses
himself:
“An easy drive from North Carolina
resorts lies Camden, once a popular
spot with flat and steeplechase train
ers as well as hunting men and polo
enthosiaata. Unfortunately the lack
of any sort of extensive or adegoate
hotel accommodatipns has forced
many horsemen to go elsewhere and
CAmden today is not what it was
when we were there last.
“AMving at Camiden. onr first care
was to locate Harry D. Klrkover, the
man who pat the town on the horse
map, havt^ worked 'nndefatigahly In
the ' interest of the horsemen there
for many years. We found the gentle
man in town and were soon being
escorted on a tonr of the Springdale
Conree which has suffered little since
horse activities were cat oat in Cam-
dM for war reasons in 1942. We pass
ed the polo field enroote to iba track
and learned that the game would be
resumed at Camden within the week,
the Daniels and Williams youngsters
who hare been away at war forming
the nucleus of the polo group which
will grow as the season progresses.
(Editors note. The first game of polo
since, the war, played Sunday, Feb.
21, attracted some 3,000 fans to the
arena.)'
“We fonnd the five hundred acre
track, owned by Mr. Klrkover, which
is given over to race course* and
schooling grounds of varions types.
There are brush schooling courses
with feucas of three sizes for the ed
ucation of the neophytes of the game,
and two timber courses, one used
for the Carolina cap and the other for
Springdale bowl. There is a race
meet planned Camden on April
6. A full day of racing will be held.
Little work is needed to put the plant
in good order. The stables are in
good shape, Kent Miller with Elkridge
and a few other horses being ^ere
now.
“The Camden Hunt met last week
for the first time since 1M2. having
‘a good run. The hunt plans on renew
ing the hunter trials <mce more this
spring. There was a so-called Inform
al show Fob. 22 while th* ^Hunter
Show win be held during race week.
From the race course we drove over
to Mrs. Marlon duPont Scott’s place
where we found Trainw Ray- Woolfe
having his hands full clipping a filly
by Blenheim 11 for the first time. It
looked as though the sweating filly
would win out due to her wetness.
Ray has four head at Camden, more
on the way from_.Montpeiier, Va.
Jkn Ryan’s big s^le of ’chasers and
flat horses mon^of them owned by
Mrs. Esther daP6nt Wier are winter
ing in Camden as usual, and look in
great fettle. The Jumpers are school
ing regolarly In preparation for the
’chasing season. Tom Waller, another
Camden regular, has the C. T. Henry
string sUblee at the Scott track,
where there la a mile track that is
kept in shape the year round.
‘‘Camden is a grand place to winter
borsee and it is a pity that the loss
of its hotels has virtnally put the
town out of business except for those
having homes there.” I
