NORFOLK, Va March August
Belmont has decided to make stake
nominations for the specials OF the
Jamestown Jockey Club. which close
on the 18th of March. and he will race
string Of thoroughbreds of various ages
here April 1 to II. inclusive. The Bel
me mt horses wintered at Benning track.
near Washington, where upward OF 200
other thoroughbreds were quartered
through the months Of December. jan
uary, and February.
They are pretty well advanced and
the chairman of the Jockey Club be-
lieves that racing down here will fit them
all the better for their stnke dates up
the line There will be plenty Of rae
ing about New York In the summer and
the stables that go North with an
April seasoning at Norfolk and Havre
de Grace will have something on those
that do not race before the first Of
May.
Mir. Belmont has been consistent
supporter OF Norfolk racing these five
years and he will very likely be repre-
sented in the Monticello Hotel Handi-

The notion that he is merely a sprin-

q sprinter because Sam Hildreth,

but he Is equally good in muddy and
dry going. Not every frst-class race
horse is SO fortunately gated
Rockview, who may go with Pris-
Gillian in the Monticello, is one Of the
most promising three-year-old In the
country. Last season he was consider
cd as good as the best two-year-
that raced in Canada and he has win

Two Trails Of the Game.

Bound down within the circle OF
His native Aelds and short domains,
He lonEed to take the outbound trail
Which led across the distant plains;
He heard the call of unknown seas
He felt the lure Of lands beyond
And In each dream he wandered forth
A care-free, roSinE vsEabond.
And he, whose steps had ever led
To stranger lands and alien coasts-
Who, since his youth, lad held the trail
OF natures vaEabondian hosts
Looked ever forth across the plains
To where . hearth-flre lit the GlOam,
And In each dream he wandered back
To where his people called him home.
