 Speaking of the Little Rock meeting which opens two weeks from today, an exchange says:
 Racing on the Western Circuit will be inaugurated at Little Rock March 24. The Little Rock meeting will last only a week, but during that period three stake events are scheduled to be decided, and the daily offerings will aggregate over &, ,000 Altogether, over $15000 will be dis tributed among horse owners during the six days's racing al Clinton Park. This extreme liberality on the part of the Ar kansas Jockey Club has made a big hit
 with horsemen, and the entries to the stakes indicate that the meeting is go- ing to be one of the most successful in the history of the sport at Little Rock. The Arkansas Jockey Club is composed of the leading citizens of Little Rock, and the residents of the Arkansas State capital invariably turn out large numbers for the spring races.
 The general impression in turf circles is that this years Little Rock meeting will be productive of several sensational juvenile performers. Dick Williams is there with Barney Schreiber's big string of two-year-Olds. Schreiber is the Mis- souri breeder that went East last sum- mer and beat some of the best young sters in the East with Otis, Dewey, Schwalbe and Father Wentker. four two- year-olds by Imp Sain. Schreiber owns Sain, and has d big string of his get in training for the coming seaton at Little Rock. This colt beat the $20,0O0 Hyphen and other cracks in q 5000 stake at D.aF. InE,t C,la- -AfI
