SOUTH AMERICANS
TO FURNISH MEAT
Uruguay and Argentina
Planning to Send Beef
and Mutton Here.

That the South American countries
along the River Plate. more especially
Uruguay and Argentina, are looking
forward to supplying the people OF the
United States living along the Atlantic
coast with meat, particularly beef and
mutton, is the information that comes
from Consul Frederic w. Cooling of
( Montevideo. In view of the rising
prices OF steaks. Mr.. Goding's report is
interesting
Mr.. Cooling makes It clear American
business men are looking forward to
some such development as this when
the people IN the eastern part Of the
United States will have to buy meats
from South America. He says already
! American business men have visited
Uruguay for the purpose of collecting
data relative TO the shipment of beef
and mutton from Montevideo 10 New
York. and these have expressed the
opinion that such move is practicable
and would prove profitable, as the meat
is of fine flavor and the price to the
consumer would be considerably less
than the price paid for the home prod
uct The government of Uruguay has
recently passed an act which relieves
the shippers Of frozen meat from the
payment of the export duty for a period
of ten years. provided the meat is pre-
pared in the country
According TO Mr.. Cooling, there is but
one establishment in Uruguay devoted
exclusively 10 the frozen-meat industry,
though IL appears there are a number
that are in this business in part. The
frozen-meat plant is thoroughly up to
date and the methods employed through
out are similar 10 those used in the
United States. Only the best grades Of
cattle and sheep are utilized. and the
whole process Is supervised BY Quali-
fed veterinarians Mr.. Cooling says
when the rainfall Is plentiful the native
grasses produce a finely favored and
easily assimilated meat
AS a proof OF the healthfulness of the
cattle a considerable quantity of meat
IS exported to London after passing
rigid inspection. one IN Uruguay and
another in England.

FIELD FOR ATHLETICS
FAVORED FOR DISTRICT
Commissioner Macfarland Declares Public Park Should
Be Built Without Delay and Series of Field and
Track Games Should Be Annual Feature.

An athletic field maintained by the Dis
trict, an annual series OF field and
track games which might be held on
July 4, in connection with the safe and
sane celebration OF Independence Day,
and municipal regatta as a part of
the program, are features of a plan
Endorsed by Commissioner Macfarland
this morning
The Commissioner spent yesterday in
Baltimore, and visited Patterson Park.
where he declared he was impressed
by the arrangements made for land
and water sports. The equipment of
the park includes a quarter-mile run
ming track, athletic apparatus OF all
description, e swimming basin, cover
ing three and-a-half acres, an equal
area with the United States Capitol,
and a complete field house with all
necessary conveniences for athletes and
athletic sports. The swimming pool,
which especially impressed Mr.. Mac
fsrland, has on fits bottom and on fits
bank sea sand brought from Chesa-
peake bay.
Every athletic organization In Balti-
more. more than thirty IN number, was
represented in the 500 entries.
The event was for Baltimore some
thing of a public holiday and the entire
city seemed interested in the result of
the games.
The management of the meet was also
the subject of favorable comment by the
Commissioner.
Well Managed.
THE thoroughness of the prepara-
TONS" he said, was shown in the ex-
cellent way in which the many contests

were carried on so that a long program
was completed before dark. The attend
ance was large and enthusiastic al
though other celebrations Of Defenders
Day were going on in other parts Of
the city.
THE matter Of establishing such an
mcfarland said this morning, will be
brought TO the attention of the Com
missioners. The plan will also be pre-
scented 20 the Board Of Trade and the
Chamber of Commerce.
ANY American city can maintain
such an institution" Commissioner Mac
farland said. and it is Of the greatest
benefit TO the city as we'll as TO those
who take part The National Capital
should lead in this as we'll as In other
matters. With the Potomac river at
hand a municipal regatta could be held
at the same time as the athletic meet
and the entire event would draw large
number of visitors TO Washington
City Helps AGNES.
Mr.. mcfarland commended the
spirit OF Baltimore which was shown
by the city giving $500 for prizes. These
were handsome silver cups OF various
sizes. Special trophies were given by
the governor OF Maryland, the mayor
OF Baltimore and others. The meet yes
terday marks the tenth annual event of
its kind in Baltimore.
The announcement that an annual set
OF field games was a possibility for the
District and that Washington might
have an athletic park attracted wide
attention among athletic promoters
when informed Of II this morning. A
public athletic field has been the sub
ject Of wide agitation for years and it
Is believed Ii would have the support of
business men as we'll as Of spOrtmen.
