P|ML|CO ASSIGNED
SPRING MEETING
Racing Dates Arranged as
Desired by Maryland
Jockey Club.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 1A-Dates for the
spring meeting at Pimlico have been
given out.
Sixteen days racing-from April q to
May lis the program. AS was desired
by the Maryland Jockey Club. the dates
are a little later than those Of last
spring.
Last year the local meeting had the
opposition of the meeting at Aqueduct,
but this spring Pimlico will have a free
field.
As matters now look in New York,
the meetings at Aqueduct and Jamaica
will not be given this spring. The best
informed racing people are very conf
dent that things will so shape up in the
Empire State that racing will be car
ried on as usual at the big tracks dur
ing the year, but start will not be
made probably until Belmont Park
opens its gates late in May.
Expect Big Meeting.
With no opposition from New York
Pimlico should have the finest spring
meeting In its history. The best horses
in training will be on the ground. and
they will find liberal program provided
for them.
The Clabaugh and Nursery Stakes for
two-year-olds closed last fall with big
list of entries in each event, and are
bound to make great contests. The
Preakness will also be renewed. and
this will bring out the crackerjacks.
1t will be the policy of the manage
ment to put on some big handicaps in
place Of further adding to the stake
events. This policy has been found to
bring the best results. as usually the
stake races dwindle down to a few
contestants when the start is made.
The jamestown Jockey Club was
granted dates from April to April rs.
This will give horsemen a chance to
earn a little money and get their horses
in shape for the big show at Pimlico.
Talk of Marlboro Meet.
Considerable talk has been heard with
regard to a spring meeting at Marlboro
previous to the meeting at Pimlico. 1t
has been reported that the syndicate
which gave the meeting at the South
ern Maryland track last fall will
branch out this season and put in A
mile track and otherwise bring the
plant up to an up-to-date condition.
At present, however. things seem to
be somewhat mixed at Marlboro. It is
! said that it will not be all plain sailing
for the syndicate and that considerable
opposition has been aroused 1t may
be that the Jockey Club will hesitate
somewhat about granting dates to the
Smith-PerryPons confederacy which Is
back of Marlboro.
The dates given out to Norfolk would
seem to shut off any chance Marlboro
had Of giving a meeting this spring just
previous to that at Pimlico, as was
| talked about.

members will decide formally to tender
their designations as an indication OF
solidarity and adherence to the ex.

A Personal Issue.
Premier Stolypin presented his re-
signation personally TO the Emperor
His action was due to the rejection by
the Council Of the Empire of the Fem
stvo dill for self-governm In the
nine Western provinces. The Premier
decided to make the crisis q personal
Issue, and the quickness OF the En-;
perors answer was accepted in Ger
tain quarters as substantiating the re.
port current recently that the En-
peror had abandoned the Premier to
his fate by telling the conservatives

| NJ. Trepoff. to vote according to their
conscicnces.'
But It was learned later that the
| selection of NJ. Kokovsoff was made by
| the Emperor on NJ Stolypin's recon-
| mendation after His Majesty had ev
| hausted all means to persuade the lat.
! ter to retain his post. The reactionary
