BIG LIST IS ENTERED.
Bright Outlook for Races at Day-

Week.
RECORDS LIKELY TO BE BROKEN

tween Tri- City Horses
Feature.


held at the Davenport mile track
next week closed at noon today and
the entry list was the largest in the
history of the association. All the
classes were filled and the prospects
for a successful meeting are the
brightest. The entries were made un-
usually early this year, the horse
men for some reason avoiding wait
ing till the last moment to enter, as is
usually the case.
Many of the mail entries came
from Burlington, Pontiac, Bushnell
and Joliet, where races are being
held this week and where men had
been sent in the interests of the Dav-
EXPORT race meeting.
Begin Tuesday.
The races are to begin next Tues
day and last four days. The meeting
will be tri-city event. Tuesday will
be Moline day and Moline band will
furnish the music. Wednesday will
be Rock Island day and n band from
this city will play. Thursday will be
derby day or everybody's day, and
will be the big day of the meeting.
Friday will be Davenport day.
Tickets are already for sale in the
three cities. Coupon tickets have
been prepared with four admissions
for 50, good on any day. The tickets
are going well. The Rock Island and
Moline people can get to the races
just as easily as Davenporters for
the Rock Island road will run trains
every Is minutes. Street car and
hack connections will also be cstab-
lished.
The same conditions that have
made racing entirely out of the ques-
tion on other tracks have put the
Davenport mile track in excellent
condition. The excessive rains were
just what the track needed and it
will be lightning fast next week. 1t
is likely that more than one record
will go next week.
The Glasses.
The classes for the races will be as
follows:
No. 1-3-ycar-old and under class,
$500.
No. %: 40 class, $500.
No. $3.50 class, $500.
No. 4-2:25 class, $500.
No. 5-2:2O class. $500.

No. 14-2:0S class, $500.
No. 16-2:25 pace, $500.
To the above classes the 2:11 pace
will be added, there being such a call
for a race of horses in that class. Ev-
cry class will fill, with the possible
exception of the 2:12 trot.
Tri-City Trot.
The Tri-city trot will be one of the
interesting features of the meeting.
The association has donated 500 for
purses and the owners will put up
$25 for each horse entered. The win
ners will take the whole thing.
There has long been a rivalry be-
tween tri-city horsemcn as to the
relative speed of their roadsters, and
the field will probably be large and
indicative of the fact that some very
speedy animals are being driven
about the tri-citicS

opposed TO them Is the statement OF an Official
medical examiner, DR.. Henry Ecroyd. Of Newport

Newport. AS I know both these last. and as one
Of them is official Of the State. naturally take

Pennsylvania physicians is quoted saying that
powder marks would show from a revolver fred

statement is no more accurate than that IL isn't

Besides. there was plenty OF motive for suicide
Mr.. Remington was as have since learned fnan-
cially embarrassed at the time. and he had been
acting strangely. apparently from the use OF
drugs. He had got himself into trouble at the
Van Aliens hotel in Paris. and had acted SO in
Newport that Miss Van Allen refused 20 recognize
him at the Berwind BAN, two nights before his
death.
Edward P. Remington was naturally not dis

REPORTS ABOUT MANHATTAN.
ITS REMARKABLE STRENGTH REEVES
RUMORS THAT NETWORK CEN
TRIAL WILL ABSORB IT.

Tho remarkable strength Of Manhattan in the
stock market the last two days has given rise to
ysrious runors The stock made net gain of
81 points on Monday. and yesterday advanced to
1928 closing 1926. net gain for the day OF rs
points: the total net advance for the two days
being 7s4 points. exceedingly heavy transac-
lions The activity of the stock has been in strik-
ing contrast to the aging and lifeless course OF
the general list.
The most widely credited explanation for the
rise in Manhattan is that the New-York Central Is
planning TO take control of the property, but
no confirmation of this report, which has often In
the last three years been current. can be
obtained. Another rumor. which was promptly and
authoritativey denied yesterday. that the
Manhattan and the Metropolitan were to be united.
Still another theory is that the sharp advance Is
the result OF squeezing of the very large short
interest in Manhattan. and IL is said in some
quarters that Jhe dividend rate is to be increased
from 10 per cent. and that Manhattan is being
advanced that prospect.
