SUPPORT WILL JUSTIFY
CLEAN, HIGH CLASS SPORT

kilograms, letters and words of con-
graduation poured in on the officials of
the Los Angeles Racing association yes
terday, and every one was pleased with
the way things turned out From Thomas
H. Williams, president of the Pacific
Jockey club came the following wire:
wish you grand opening and hope you
will have a very successful meeting" and
from others cheering messages were re-
ceived.
This is beyond our fondest expecta-
tions," said George Rose, speaking for
the directors of the association. The
crowd Is wonderful. and we wish to thank
everybody, the press in particular. 1t
seems that weather made no difference
with the racing HSic for they are here
in record breaking I. rong.
I'VE appreciate this support, and will do
our best to show it, Nothing but the
highest class of sport that can be Sc
cured or arranged will be offered, and
we will cater on.y to those who desire
clean racing"
That no mishap occurred or complaint
was made during the day, and that every
thing passed off with the smoothness of a
midmeeting day, is due to the efficiency
of Seymour Buettler's Pinkerton patrol.
The ring was remarkably free from touts
and boosters for the books, and nothing
marred the pleasure of those who at
tended.
The. arrangements were complete, and
DR.. Gardner, track manager is to be con-
graduated on his capability. The card
presented by Secretaries Boden and Smith
and the close finishes in some of the
races attest to their skill with the
weights, and every one went home we'll
pleased with the inaugural of Santa Anita
park.

Walter Slagle, who has just finished a

$4,000 FOR
NEW PYTRiAN CASTLE.
Building Association With That End
in View Formed Recently.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 2I.-The first
steps for the raising of fund of
$3.50, 900 for the building of new
castle for the Grand Lodge of the
Knights of Pythias of the Domain
of Maryland were taken last night
at a meeting held at the castle on
North Gay street.
In order to raise the necessary
fund building association, to be
known as the Maryland Pythian
Building Association was formed,
the organizers being Messrs.
John 7. Thomas, president;
George Raub, vice president; Will
lam L. Beau, treasurer, Louis l..
Shinnamon, secretary; directors,
the officers named and Messrs. G..
L. Phsterer, H. M. Cotton, Will
lam Rosskamp, John P. LAUDER,
w. L. DuRell and George w.
Stephens; assistant secretaries,
Messrs. L. H. Konow, Charles
Hood aud VIM. 7, Walters, Jr.
The association will be incor-
porated in the near future by a
committee comprised of the presi-
dent, vice president, treasurer and
secretary and Mr.. John P. LAUDER.
1t IS the intention to sell the
stock of the association and invest
the funds pending the carrying
out Of the project. 1t has been
definitely determined that the new
castle will not be erected on the
site Of the old one, but as yet the
new location has not been secured.

LARGEST BATTLE SHIP IN WORLD.
The Dreadn0usht to Be Seen at the
Jamestown Ter-Centennial Expo
Sition.

The monster battleship, Dread
nought," the largest man.ofwar
in the world, Great Britain's lat
est acquisition, will participate in
the grand naval display in Hamp-
ton Roads, during the period of
the Jamestown Ter Centennial Ex-
position. The famous sea fighter
is now on her way to the West
Indies, where she will be seen by
Admiral Evans fleet, which is
carrying on winter manoeuvres in
those waters. 1t is the opinion of
the British consul there that the
Dreadnought will remain in the
southern waters of the West In
dies until the winter is over, ar
irving in Hampton Roads in time
for the opening of the jamestown
Exposition on April Goth, remain
ing there until the British fleet,
detailed for participation at the
Exposition, is ready to return
home.
The Dreadnought was only a
short time ago put into commission
after having been a remarkably
short period in building She is
OF $4,000 tons displacement and
has an armament of ten twelve
inch guns, or nearly three times
the gun strength of any other
battleship ahoat. This vessel has
a speed of more than twenty knots
an hour and could therefore over
take any combination she eau
fight or run away from any she
cannot.
Besides this visit of the Dread
nought, England, through the ad-
miralty's late decision, will send
her first cruiser division to Hamp-
ton Roads for the opening celebra-
ton of the Jamestown Exposition.
The vessels comprising this divis-
ion are the Good Hope, Antrim,
Argyle, Devonshire, Hampshire
and Roxburgh. These ships will
probably give England a stronger
representation in the naval ma
noeuvres in Hampton Roads than
any of the other foreign powers
that are to participate.
