horses in their races. The success OF q

upon their condition to go the number

the rest. In the case of the Morris

ford will condition and drive them.

Every one interested in the two-year-

himself over the fact thar the second
payment of the stake-$15-was promptly
paid In. and the money has been flor
days In the hands OF the stakeholder,
T. w. Dunworth. The success Of the
stake, up to this writing, Is, we think,
an earnest example Of what 10 TO follow,
and should be stimuiant to the nomi-
majors In the three-year-old stake. the
second payment OF which falls due May
1. 1t is fair to presume that the persons
directly interested in this stake will not
permit themselves to be outdone by
those directly interested in the two-year-
olds. In the meantime a number of
owners of stake candidates for 1914 are
urging US to- issue q call for q meeting,

The matter OF calling a meeting rests
with those interested in the 1914 stake.
Let them get together and agree on a
day and date for vthe meeting, and we
will do the rest. 1t Is hardly fair to
expect us to arbitrarily fix date and
place Of meeting, when the success Of
said meeting, rests with those more
directly interested. The statement made
that some owners of candidates are
holding back their entries for the pur-
pose Of trying them out first. il. we
think, hardly founded on the facts of
the case. AZ far as we can learn. only
one colt intended for the stake has had
a harness on his back. Another week
has passed and nothing has been heard
from the three-year-old candidates for
the pacing stake. Is 1t possible that
there are only three three-year-old pac-
ers within the prescribed district that
are At to meet the issue?
DIR. Sansbury. owner and manager of
the Forestville track. will soon proceed
to outline his programme for his an
nual Decoration Day meet According to
the doctor and Trainer Andrews. super
intendent of the track. something elab-,
crate is being framed up. J. c. Mott.
of La Plata. will put his new haIf-mile
track in commission on Decoration Day,
and proposes to make the event red
letter one In the history Of Charles
County. He proposes to give the genial
doctor run for his money. il he out

and he expects that the large purses will
draw the horses and that the horses
will draw the attendance. This Is
logical way to sum up the situation
logic, however, that some track own
ers do not seem able to understand.
No word has come from Henry Copper
thite. owner Of the track at Burke. Va.
as to his plans FOR Decoration Day. It
would be strange II his fine plant
should lie idle on that day, even though
he should be compelled to resort to the
thoroughbreds for amusement. Prepare
tons for the horse show are going
steadily forward. and the event prom
ises to be even more impressive than the
one OF 1872 1t will open the first week
Of May and continue through the week.
It will practically inauGurate the reign
of the horse in this particular latitude
and whet the taste for more Of him as
the season advances.
