Brighton and other smaller tracks has

The Carter handicap Of $4,000. the fea
ture Of today's program, will be run shortly
after o'clock. To all appearances 1t will
be the best Carter ever decided. not ex-
cepting the one in which Beldame began
her wonderful three-year-old career or the
one last year. In which the mighty Rose
ben beat Southern Cross a head. The race
today is particularly open and the amateur
and professional handicappers have found 1t
hard problem to solve. There are quite
as many opinions as there are horses in the
race. Whatever the outcome. q great
struggle is In prospect. in which the skill
of the jockey we'll as the speed and con-
dition Of the horse must play an important
part.
There great hustle and activity at
the track yesterday. Horses were getting
in from Washington, while others were
being breezed through the stretch in prepa-
ration for the serious question today.
Stable room is at a premium. and there
will be more horses ready to race than the
track will accommodate, in spite of the
long, cold winter and late spring.

YALE AND HARVARD
MUST COME OUT

NEW YORK. April 16.-There was q great
deal Of talk among college graduates es-
terday over the announcement that Secre-
tary of the Navy MetcaR had decided to
give the Annapolis cadets permission to
row in the intercollegiate regatta at Pough-
kepsie June 26. The opinion was unani-
nous that the presence of the Middies in
the big Hudson river races would make the
regatta the most important in the world
and completely throw in the shade the fam
lily affair at New London between the crews
of Harvard and Yale
The matter was the main topic of con-
versation at the University, Harvard, Yale
and Columbia clubs and at the New York
A. G.. and other clubs where men deeply in
terested in college sport congregate in this
city. Many did not hesitate to express the
opinion that in time Yale and Harvard
would be forced to again meet the other col
leges on the water Harvard and Yale
rowed on the Hudson when the college
races were first started at Poughkeepsie,
but after meeting defeat at the hands of
Cornell and other colleges the Crimson and
the Blue practically confined their rowing
efforts to New London, with an occasional
trip abroad, where they were beaten by the
English oarsmen. Harvard now meets Cor
nell In an annual race on the Cherries river,
with poor success.
The action of Yale and Harvard in refus-
ing to race on the Hudson has always met
with much public disa pproval and some rid
tcule and many Of the graduates of these
great institutions think the time has come
now for a return to the Hudson. The pres
ence of the Middies in the big regatta will
no doubt excite the ambition Of the West
Point cadets. and 1t Is a certainty that the
Soldiers will within a year or two ask the
War Departments permission to row. The
West Point cadets always attend the
Poughkeepsie regatta in large numbers.
This summer they will naturally root for
the naval cadets. and this win intensity
their desire to have an eight in the races
|. The crews that will take place In the big
event this year will represent Cornell, Co
lumia, Pennsylvania, Syracuse, Wisconsin.
Annapolis and Georgetown and the four
mile race will be worth going hundreds of
miles to see.
That the Middies will be factor in the
contest all rowing experts agree. During
the past three years the naval cadets have
made wonderful progress in rowing and
have won race after race from college crews
on their own course. Most of their races
have been at two miles or under, but no
one doubts their ability to make splendid
showing this year at four miles,

way the veteran Frank kitson worked Sat-
urday. He had splendid control and used

The work being done in the Free Dis
pensary for Consumptives Is said to be

there have been 163 dispensary visits by
patients. 116 of which represented old cases.

in the basement Of this house, which was
formerly a residence. have been thoroughly
renovated and remodeled. all wall paper re-
moved, and every arrangement made to keep
the place in the most sanitary condition.
Uniform attention Is given to each case.
In addition to recording the patients rec
ord. history, physical and meteorological
condition. he Is thoroughly instructed, both
in the dispensary and at his home con-
corning fundamental rules Of health upon
which Improvement, recovery and freedom
from reinfection and infection Of others
depend. He is taught the Importance Of re-
naming In the fresh air. both by day and
night, of eating plain, wholesome food. and
plenty of 1t, and Of allowing the sunlight
to penetrate so far as this Is possible into
every part of his sleeping and living rooms.
Already many cases have profited wonder
fully by this simple system and watchful
care. In a number Of cases 1t has been pos
sible by advice. suggestion, etc. to change
the occupation of a consumptive so that he
may remain Out-of-doors throughout the
day.

ices coming once each week: DIR. Jesse
