BALTIMORE. Oct. 4-Horsemen now
at Pimlico are looking forward TO the
opening of the fan racing season, which
begins October %.
The time that has elapsed since the
closing OF the New York season at Sar-
atoga seems a long period to trainers.
The two divisions of the Matron
Stakes. which will be features Of the
opening day, are Of much interest. for
in these two races will appear the great
est tYo-year-olds Of the season, Novelty
and Bashti.
They have proven themselves so far
better than other youngsters it is prac-
tically conceded that each will score in
the Matron, in the colt and iIIy erd,
respectively. Even If Bashti and Nov
city should have easy victories, the op-
portunity TO see the best horses Of the
year under colors is looked forward to-
Bowie Big Attraction.
1t Is not Of the Matron, however, that
trainers are talking at Pimlico. They
are specializing with more enthusiasm
on the chances Of the candidates in the
Jockey Club. The Bowie, of course, will
be the big race Of the meeting.
Southern people proverbiaIIy are fond
OF long races, and it was largely TO
meet the wishes Of local patrons that
the Jockey Club officials place q on the
program two long raCes-One at two
miles and the other at a mile and
quarter
The response made by trainers TO the
opportunity given by the Maryland club
shows also that long races are popular
with the hOrSemen. The Bowie will be
one Of the longest races run this year

racing game now reckon Harry +.
Grant VINO, with siX-cylinder Alec
car, won the Vanderbilt cup race last
year, and saturday, with the same car,
Won again, as one OF the really great
drivers.
This is not only because Of what
he has accomplished. but because OF
the heady character of his work. His
driving Is distinguished by grea
sIeadtness anC GOODNESS
There Is nothing spectacular abOu-
Grants driving, Tor he is always calm
and deliberate whether winning or
losing. Some Of the drivers tn the
Vanderbilt race made faster laps than
Grant, but when the race ended IL was
found that he averaged a fraction
more than stXty-five miles an hour,
thus hanging up a new speed record
Tor the Vanderbilt. 1t is this cOnsiS-
tent driving that enables Grant TO
win.
Grant drove his first race IL 1907, al

was entered in three races, winning
two OF them-a hve-mlle event and
the twenty mile race. while in the
other event, ffty-mIie race, he held

had tire blow out He finished In
second place, however After numer-
Gus victories on race tracks and in
