Not Bothered By Race Track Bills

That those in charge of the Havre
de Grace racetrack have no fear of the
abolition of the racing game in Har-
ford county is evident by the fact that
their application for spring meeting
to the Jockey Club was received favor
ably and the dates allotted. April IS
to May have been the dates set aside
for the meeting, which will be the
opening of the sport in Maryland this
year.
The officials of the Jockey Club also
announced that they had granted dates
for the annual Pimlico spring meeting.
There will be 16 days of spring rae
dates given being from May TO %.
The various bills which have been or
will be introduced in the Legislature
at Annapolis are not causing the Har-
ford County Agricultural and Breed
ers' Association any worriment. They
are going ahead with their plans for
the spring meeting as if nothing at all
had happened. The stands, clubhouse
and part of the paddock, which were
destroyed by fire late last fall, are
rapidly nearing completion.
Senator Frank E. Williams, of Cecil
county, has introduced bill, which,
if passed, would do away with the
sport in Hartford county. Mr.. Williams
claims that the people Of Hartford
county are bitterly opposed to racing,
as conducted at the Havre de Grace
track. He also claims that the moral
standing of the community is greatly
lessened by the class of people that
visit the track, and, although the reve-
nue. Hartford county realizes from the
track is very large, the people would
rather not have the course in opera
tion.-Balto. American.

 joke of it. It's rending flesh and bone, There are pain-crazed animals a.
 shrfeking there And warm blood stench that is a.
 reelxtng there. He fights like rat in corner
 Billy the Soldier Boy! There he lies now, like a ghoulish
 score of him. Left on the field for dead: The ground all round is smeared with
 the gore of him Even the leaves are read. The Thing that was Billy lies avdying

A special meeting of the sopho- more commercial class was held on Tuesday afternoon at the close of the session in room z.
 Miss Barbara Moore of the sopho- more class has again shown her artds- tic ability, as well may be attested by looking at the portraits of Miss Kath- erine Eleanor Ravens and Elwood
 Weise, which grace the walls of the assembly hall. These two young peo-
 pie portray the leading characters in Monday evening, January Il, at the Lyric theater. The portraits are upon attractive posters advertising the play and reflect great credit upon Miss
 Moore for her skill in painting. The basketball team has been very fortunate in securing the services of
 Joseph Staiger of the New Haven Nor nal School of Gymnastics as coach for the season and, since he has taken charge the team has shown more in terest, in the game and now bids fair to give 8 good account of itself in the next few games.
 Tickets for the basketball game Sat- urday at the Boys club were placed on lsale this morning. Manager John Cor coran has charge of the tickets and announces that as the girls team will lplay preliminary and the games will be followed by dancing, the demand for the pasteboards has become great. Several Bridgeport fellows play on the
 Farnum Hall team which is to fur nish the fireworks in the main game.
 The basketball squad has been aug mented by the addition of William
