P|ML|CO OPENS ITS
RACE MEET MONDAY
Course in Perfect Condition and
Outlook Is for Excellent
Daily Cards.

The racing scene will shift to P!mlico
next Monday, when the ten days fall
meeting Of the Maryland Jockey Club
will be inauguratsd.
Pimlico is very popular with horse
men, and the trainers regard the track
with particular favor, as I Is not only
fast, but is especially easy on horses with
weak underpinning. During the past
summer a lot Of sand has been worked
into the track, with the result 1t Is now
better than ever. The steeplechase
course has been put in perfect con-
d ton by constant trimming and roll
ing, and Is regarded by good judges as
the best and safest in the country.
The principal stakes to be decided
at the coming meeting are the Walden
for twO-year-oldS, one mile; the Bowie
Handicap, for three-year-olds and up
ward, one mile and three-Quarters: and
the Elkridgc and Green Spring Valley
Handicap steeplechases. In the Elk
ridge steeplechase, at two miles, three
year-olds will compete with the older
horses. while the Green Spring Valley
steepIechase. two miles and half, is
for four-ycar-olds and upward.
Vincent powers. who has been riding
m steepleChases IN France with great
success and who recently returned to
this country owing to the war. will be
at Pimlico, and will be seen in the
saddle in the jumping races. He has
been on q visit to relatives in Penn
sylvan'a since his arrival and Is re-
garded as a capital horseman.
The Clabaugh Stakes for two-year-olds
will not be abandoned. but will be rur
at the spring meeting as an overnight
event. Some comment has been made
on the failure to close the race this
fall as heretofore. but 1t was felt by
the Maryland Jockey Club that interest

WHEAT PROSPECTS

If Robert Rogers, Canadian min

prosperity viii be boiling in the In
land Empire in 1915. A Winnipeg
dispatch quotes him as saying that
wheat will bring s. per bushel next
fall.
Europe will produce little grain
next year and must look chiefly to
Canada and the United States for its
supply, said Mr.. Rogers. Every
thing produced on the farm in these
two countries viii command big

A like view is voiced in New York
by men in close touch with the grain
and flour trades, according to the
New York Commercial One leader
in the flour trade there said the ex-
perience of this country and Europe
after the Frauco-Prussian war may
be repeated next year in much stern
er degree. He recalled that in the
period between the end OF the
Franco-Prussian war in 1871 and
1878 the price OF wheat went to
$1.63 per bushel. Then only two ma
tions were directly concerned, but
now almost all Europe is involved
and the effect in the judgment OF
this dealer, will be more far-reach.
ing.
Other dealers thought that even
the increased planting of wheat and
other gains reported this year from
Canada and the west of the United
States would not halt the rising Of
prices.
TO some extent the wish here is
father to the thought. Canada sur
fers from industrial and financial de-
preston and members of its gov
eminent feel in duty bound to
whistle up courage. And the views
quoted by the New York paper evil

the trade.
