FILM Is SURE
TO SHOW HERE

With all the hullabaloo that is
being raised over the presenta-
tion in Tacoma of THE Birth of a
Nation" it is a 10 to / bet that
the big picture will begin show
ing Sunday night, as scheduled.
In more than dozen other cities
over the United States, the same
trouble has arisen over the ex-
hibition of d. w. Griffiths' big
feature, but in each case the
courts have permitted the film to
be shown. At any rate, 1.-The Birth
of Nation" is getting more pub
licity in Tacoma than its exhibit
tors could ever hope to pay for.

can appear in silent drama with
wonderful realism. His work as

week is the best we have seen yet.

Famous Three Year-Old Foals VIII
Feature Grand Circuit Races
This Summer.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 30.--Among
the stellar features Of the Grand Cir
cult program this summer will be the
running of the trotting and pacing
races for the three-year-old foals OF
champion stations and matrons.
The American Association Of Trot-
ting Horse Breeders inaugurated the
futurity seven years ago, and II since
has become one of the biggest events
in the harness game. The total purses
distributed during the past six years
are in the neighhorhood OF 100000.
The prizes this season will range be-
tween $4,000 and $50. 900. ranking
second in value to the famous Ken
lucky F>uturity.
The Matron stake will be raced off
at the Grand Rapids meeting during
the week of August 7, while the stall
lions will take place at the second
Cleveland meeting. during tho week
of August 81.
The entry list shows fifty horses
entered in the trotting division and
eleven in the pacing. Included in the
lists are some OF the most famous
foals In the world.
The majority OF the best-known
sires and mares have one or more en-
tries. and with but few exceptions the
same cities are eligible for both stakes.
One of the notable exceptions. how
ever. is voIga, by Peter the Great. The
speedy filly, owned by the Pastime
Stable of Cleveland. Is not eligible for
the matron division, because her
dam-Nervolo Belle-was not nomi-
mated when the Futurity opened three
years ago.
Volga, Bingen Silk, Walnut Tree.
General Yorke Maple Tree and An
Willie are the horses expected to fur
nish the real excitement but many
of the others may show flashes Of
unlooked-for speed, and the uncer-
tainty of the outcome Is adding to the
thrill anticipations of horse lovers.
These stakes create an added in
terest for horsemen. because they are
