RACING OPENS
IN PENSACOLA
NEXT FRIDAY
PONIES WILL AGAIN HOLD THE
CENTER OF THE sTAcE-soME
OF THE OLD FAvoRITEs WILL
BE MISSING, BUT OTHERS ARE
COMING.

The fifteen day racing meet win
open at Kupfrian's park next Friday,
March 81, and the followers of the
ponies will have a chance once more,
and probably the last time in the his
tory Of Florida, to play their choices.
Some of the favorites, on which the
public was given an opportunity to oc-
casionally cash ticket. will be miss
ing, as many of the horses were ship
ped from Tampa to other points sew
eral weeks ago, but in their stead there
will be others which did not race here
at the first meeting, and in addition
quite a number will come over from
Jacksonville, as the meeting closes
there next Saturday. There may be
one or two benefit days at Jackson
Vile, but the majority of the horses
and followers will be leaving there by
the end of the week, and it is expected
that many will head for Pensacola.
The promoters of the meeting here,
as well as in Tampa, have lost money
in large chunks, according to all re-
ports, and they quit Tampa before the
end of the scheduled meet. They hope
to recoup in Pensacola, but If the per-
Torrance of the first Part of the year
is repeated their purse strings will
have to be loosened little more be-
fore they get away.

About o'clock In the morning the

HOLLANDS RAILROADS.
They Are Operated at Loss to Aid
the Canal Traffic.


the Canal Traffic.
In contrast with the history Of Bel
GUM, Germany, France and Austria,
Holland alone of all European coun-
tries presents Il situation where the
railroads require protection from the
competition of the canals.
Holland thus reyerses the general
rules which apply in all other coun'
tries. Railroad development was re-
markably slow in Holland. The first
Dutch railroads were short local lines,
while the waterway system was ex-
tensive and strongly intrenched.
At length, convinced that she could
not keep pace with other European
countries by her waterway system
alone, the Dutch government con
structed an ambitious line OF railroads
connecting with the international
lines Of Europe
The railroads were built not with
any expectation that they would be
profitable as investments, but because
they were considered absolutely neces
sary TO save the country from Indus
trial decadence. Holland is the only
country IN the world In which the
state has provided both rail and wa
ter highways substantially free OF cap
ital charge. The railroads are now
operated at loss to supplement the
waterways, which carry 80 per cent
Of the traffic Of Holland.-American
