bred mares cannot go smiss in breeding
to any one of them.
Instead of three certain tracks over
which Washington horse owners may
have sport during the coming racing
season, a fourth may be safely added TO
the list. Javins Brothers, of this city,
who have been prominent for the past
ten years as owners Of race horses, ex-
pect to give matinees during the spring
and summer over their new half Emile
track, which is located on their farm,
short distance northeast of Silver Spring.
in Montgomery County The track was
completed during the summer Of 1903,
but has never been put into commission
except for the Jogging over it of their
own horses.

ness in town VII permit.
