.235 ENTRIES FOR
TROTTING RACES
SETS NEW RECORD
Wilmington Meet, Opening
Tomorrow, Establishes Right
to Title Horse Town"
MANY CLASSY FIELDS TO
START IN The TEN events

Wilmington has proven the title OF
being a horse town" by having the
largest entry list on record for any
half mile racing meet which will be
held at Wawaset Park tomorrow,
Wednesday and Thursday. when
equine speed kings from seven diff
erent States and the District of Col
umbia will contest for honcrs I'm
various classes. The entry list rec
ord was formerly held by Saginaw.
Mich, where eleven races were held
with 2l1 entries. while here in VIII
mington there will be ten races with
235 contestants
A fact that is almost uneXplainable
is that while the races held az Wa
waset Park attract the attention of
horsemen practically from the Allan
tic to the Pacific coast who are en-
thusiastic followers of the matinee
and special events held here. there
are many residents of Wilmington
who are in ignorance of the perform
ances staged upon a track within the
city limits and many even have no
! knowledge of the easy manner in
which the park may be reached by
/ trolley lines.
The three days of racing TO be held
here this month will bring lovers OF
the horse not only from the adjacent
States but from many distant points,
who viii remain in the city in order
that they may witness events which
will doubtless furnish many pages of
turf history. Already horse owners
from North Carolina, District Of Co
lumbia. Pennsylvania, Virginia, New
Jersey and Kentucky have entered
horses while there will be 20 Delaware
horses who are looked upon TO bring
home many purses. Rare indeed in the
annals of the trotting horse meets has
there been such an aggregation OF pac'
ers and trotters in such number as tc
represent practically every prominent
sire in the country.

DAM legislation
FOR THE PEOPLE,
President SAYS
Denies That Special Inter-
eSts Will Get Any Particu-
lar Benefit From Law
TARIFF NOT FACTOR
IN Recent Business TALK
NV Holm EDWN NEyIN.

United Press staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, July 2O-President
Wilson today took exception to the
allegation that the general dam bill,
agreed on at a series of conferences
at the White House is in the interests
of an interest other than Of the peo-
pio themselves. The assertion that
the bill. which is a consolidation of
rending measures, is in opposition to
the fundamentals of conservation was
especially obnoxious to the President
who called attention TO the fact that
Representatives LenrOot and Stevens,
both ardent leaders for conservation,
participated in the conferences and
aided in shaping the decision.
The President. in explaining to
callers the general nature of the
legislation said that so far as the
eastern rivers are concerned, the
government simply surrenders the
right to prohibit obstruction of
navigable waters, but IN the west,
where conservation is most needed,
the government surrenders property
of value in parting with the funds
needed TO transform arid lands into
productive zones.
! Outlining the position Of the admin
/ istration, the President indicated that
/ he believed the rights of the States
/ should be conserved as well as those
! Of the United States. He insisted
that he considered himself as en-
| thusiasticc an advocate or real con-
servation as anyone else in the coun-
! try and he would do his best to meet
the wishes of the advocates of proper
restriction of the water power inter-
ests which have been endeavoring to
| gobble up dam sites in many locali-
ties.
President Wilson took occasion today
TO deny that the tariff has been factor
at any of his recent conferences Will
business men. He said at no time have
any of his callers from the ranks OI
"Big Business" intimated to him that
thew considered the Underwood taril
law responsible for any general haltng
of business. He told his callers that al
of his visitors have recognized that busi
ness had adjusted itself to the change
in tariff rates promptly.
The report, that he had received consid
