The Stake Races.

L. D. Sale, of Washington City.
Local light harness horsemen are now
on the first lap Of 1915 They know where
they are going and they are on the way.
The start was made last Tuesday even
ing at one of the best-attended, and by
far the most enthusiastic. meetings of men
interested in the light harness horse in
this city within the last ten years. The
District of Columbia, Maryland and Vir-
ginia Breeders Association has become an
established institution, and there is every
reason to believe that it will grow in
strength and produce important results.
On Tuesday evening last, a definite step
was taken to enlarge the usefulness of the
association. Two stakes we're added to
the former list-a three-year-old pacing
stake and four-year-old trotting stake.
There is every reason to believe that breed
ers and horse owners will generously re-
spond to the CALL and when the youngsters
are lined up some time in August next for
the final test that all interested will be
proud of their efforts.
Where we shall race off our stakes in
1915 is another important question. If
the Montgomery County Fair Association
will deal with colt owners as literally as
we have reason to expect they will, and
as liberal as the association should, under
the circumstance. there is every reason to
believe that we can draw an attendance
to the Fair that will fully compensate the
association for its pains and expense. We
need not 60 before the members of the asso-
citation in begging attitude. We expect
to offer four eventso Of public interest. Give
us what is fair and we will do the rest
The stakes close March I. and every
person interested in them must be on hand
with his entries and money or remain out
The fees are only $3.50 per month, and
the final payment on the day of the race
is only SIS. The terms of the race are so
easy that no colt owner who has in his veins
the red blood of sport can afford to re-
main out. We are saneuine enough to
believe that the entries this year will
break all previous records. Public interest
was never as high. and at no time were
there as many highly bred and promising
foals owned in the District Of Columbia.
Maryland and Virginia. And. again, we
know where we are GOING and we are on
the way.

Bethesda District High School
Plans Discussed.

Plans for high school for the Bethesda
district. to afford high school facilities for
Bethesda. Woodmont, Edgewood. Somerset.
Drummond, Chevy Chase and Friendship
Heights. were discussed on Thursday night
of last week at a meeting Of the Bethesda
District Federation of Home and School
Associations, at the Bethesda schO0 lh0use.
No conclusions were reached at the meet
ing, and IL was decided to hold another
meeting at date to be selected later.
A suggestion to consolidate the schools
Of Bethesda and Chevy Chase. and to erect
building as close as possible to the inter-
section Of Bradley lane and Wisconsin av-
enue was broached. but met with Opposi-
ton. II was explained that a school
located at that place would afford central
facilities to more than 400 children. High
school facilities to be provided would
under the State law. have to be paid for
at first out Of ordinary school revenues.
The law provides. however, that after such
high school has been established and
operated for a definite period it is to be
inspected by the county school authorities
and on being shown to meet the State
boards requirements the State will pay
81, 400 per year additional for the main.
tenance Of the high school.
Advocates Of high school at Kensing
ton were heard at the meeting, as were
speakers who favored the Strengthening
Of the county high school at Rockville
rather than the establishment Of Other
high schools throughout the county.
