RACING SEASON
NEAR AT HAND
TuTtnsn Are Looking Forth to
Active Campaign In East,
BIG TRACKS TO OPEN AGAIN.

Metropolitan Courses Preparing For
Summer meeting-Joekey Clubs Of
fering Liberal Purses For Stakes.
PimIico to Open Season.
With the advent of spring the turf
men are looking forward to the open
ing of the eastern thoroughbred horse
racing season, which this years begins
at jamestown, Va, in April.
There will be racing at Sheepshead
Bay, Gravesend, Belmont park and at
Saratoga, y. Y, to say nothing Of the
smaller metropolitan tracks on the
New York circuit. While many things
may happen between now and the
opening of the racing season, at pres
ent the prospect for a summers racing
In the east has not looked brighter in
several years.
Several of the big stake races are to
be run on the metropolitan tracks this
year, and Saratoga is looking forward
to one of the best seasons in her his
tory. 1t is the racing folk that keep
the town going both in summer and
winter-that is to say, the natives of
Saratoga charge such high prices for
everything in summer that they have
enough cash left over when the season
closes to carry them over until the bell
again rings in the paddock.
That the outlook for the season of
1911 on the New York tracks IS bright
is shown by the fact that the West
chester Racing association and the
Saratoga association are already shap-
ing up things for a lively campaign
later on. At Belmont park stake races
for this year include such classics as
the Juvenile, with $500 added; the
Ladies', for FLIES, three-year-olds, with
$1,000 added; the Belmont, with $1,000
added. and several other stake events.
Then at Saratoga the association viii
run the Saratoga special, the various
hotel stakes which in years past were
for $4,000 each; the Hopeful stakes
for two-year-olds, and many other
classic events which have made the
great American watering place famous
throughout the world.
In Maryland the outlook is brilliant
for a season of high class sport. No
attacks have been made upon the turf
game in this state.
While the first meeting Of the year
will begin in jamestown, Va, the sea-
son Of 1911 in the east will in reality
begin at Pimlico in April. Such prom
inent stables as those of Herman
Duryea, r. T. Wilson, James r. Keene,
Sam Hildreth and possibly Harry
Payne Whitney and A. Belmont are
expected to race at the meeting.
With the stables of such world re-
nowned American turfmen racing once
more the eastern season Of 1911 will
| have a most brilliant beginning.

SAD WEAKENING
FOR PETTED BOY
Brought Up to Think Himself
a NObIGnan

Berlin, March 10-Berlin society is
watching with intense interest the cul-
mination of a social tragedy which has
been developing all winter.
The SOM of an English professional
man in poor circumstances who hap
pens to bear the name of one of the
oldest English houses and who was
educated extensively at Harrow, Cam
bridge, has been received in all the
Berlin Embassies, has attended all the
most exclusive balls and series, has
hobnobbed for two seasons with prime
es, Ambassadors and counts.
He will be informed from home in a
few days that he is not even related ID
the English nobility; that his parents
have no more money to spend on his
further education; that he must now
quit fashionable society, dispense witA
his royal friends and go to work 20
earn his living in the humble sphere
10 which his father and mother be-
long.
The original object of the parents, it
is said, was to give the lad the best
possible education and introduce him
at great expense to circles where ne
might find powerful patronage. In
stead of achieving this object there has
been practiced pious deception which
is likely to prove a terrible shock ana
nay unbalance the young mans mind
Owing to his great personal and so
cial gifts and unusually handsome fea
ture, combined with an attractive fam
lily name, Berlin society has wrongl.
jumped to the conclusion that he really
is a nobleman or at least a younger
son of some noble house Nobody has
taken the trouble to inquire, as tho
name is sufficient introduction. Hithey-
to money has never been wanting &c
maintain his position in society.
4 German Count recently returned
from England happened to mention i'll
London the lads social success, and
was surprised to find that London So
ciety had never heard Of him A few
inquiries served to solve the mystery
and the story rapidly spread to Berlin
The boy must learn the truth soon
after Berlin's court season ends. A
number Of his friends here have club
bed together to make advance arrange
ments to get him into some form OF
the public service where he can still
maintain some of his close friendships,
without being obliged to find money %
continue his social obligations Even
royal personages are interested in the
