BALTIMORE. April 23-Tomorrow
the gates of Pimlico will swing
open for what promises to be the
banner meeting in the history of the
old Hill Top track. The biggest and
best bunch of horses ever seen in Bal
timOre is now quartered at the course
or IN its vicinity and most Of them are
fit and ready to race
Between 700 and 500 thoroughbreds are
on the scene Of action. Every stall is
taken at the track and anywhere within
striking distance of it, as far up the
road as Seven Mile lane. And this big
bunch Of horses is made up of the
best in training. Stables which have
not been seen at Pimlico for many a
long year-the aristocrats of the turf
will be literally represented this spring.
August Belmont, the president of the
Jockey Club, has sent a strong dele
cation of his best. The Newcastle
stable. the Oneck stable, the Mont
pelier, and lesser lights of the metropo-
lis. viii be seen in addition to the well
known strings which have been per-
forming at PinllicO year after year.
A rich program, with many special
features. has been provided for the
sixteen-day meeting, winding up with
the juicy PreaknesS with 5000 added,
and a $500 piece of plate. A star feature
of the meeting will be the cross country
events. II is safe to say that never
before was such a big lot Of high-class
jumpers brought together Close to 100
timber tOppers are at the track an
they include the best in the land. Most
of them are ready and this branch of
the sport so dear to the hearts of the
local public will be prominent every
day.

Tomorrow marks the opening of the
high school season, Eastern and West
ern being the teams which will start
battle at American League Park at
O'Clock.
Not within five years has the in
terest in the scholastic league been as
pronounced as it is this season. and
while the teams which will toe the
scratch for the coming campaign can
compare in no respect with those which
bore high school coloFs five years back,
it is a certainty that this years race
will be far more exciting than those
which have been presented during the
past several seasons.
There is probably only one team in
the league which fails on paper to be
counted as a real contender for any
thing but last place. although the show
ing of this outfit in recent games seems
to point to better future performances
Western Is the team picked for last
place While the Red and White ag-
grega ton has number of l2st season S
players TO select from, II Is without the
serv ices of a capable pitcher and mainly
on this account cannot be considered a
factor In the race.
More than one wise head has sought
the probable winner in vain, but a close
survey Of the various lineup and per-
formances of the teams in the prelim-
mary games stamps Central as the best
For the past two seasons this team has
been il a developing stage. It's 1907
campaign was very poor. Last year a
marked Improvement was to be noted
and to those who have seen it perform
this season there Is but little doubt that
it Is the best and most thoroughly de-
veloped njne seen In the high schools
in three years, not even excepting the
championship Technical team OF two
seasons back
No better example Of a thoroughly
developed team is able to be found ir
the city than the Central outfit A

Raising the Rates.

President-Elect Taft tells a good
golfing story. A political friend of
his invented a plan whereby he kept
his or year old son from shock
ing his mamma by repeating swear
words and slang, a practice to which
he was rather addicted. Every time
the little fellow used naughty word
the father gave him cents on the
promise not to use it again. The
friend had great faith in the power
Of this system until one day recently
when he was chatting with half a
gozen guests before dinner.
His Home adjoins golf links, and
little Willie, who had been out walk
ing near them with his nurse, burst
into the drawing room. his blue eyes
dancing with enthusiasm, his pink
cheeks bullying in triumphant
smile.
ooh, papa, papa!" he cried, 1--WE
just heard a new one that's worth a
quarter. Judge.

The present session of the opium
commission, is a partial fulfillment
of a prophecy made by Gladstone
nearly thirty years ago, when advo-
eating prohibition of the traffic,
he stated that If England continued
this crime against humanity she
would reach the day when its expia-
ton would result in the loss of her
eastern possessions.
Many students of the Eastern situ-

the world crusade against opium,
think that the entire fulfllmens OF
this prophecy is at hand.
