Good Odds on Bryndor.

The steeplechase-the Crickmore-
had a big field of starters-no less than
fourteen-and it provided one of the
finest spectacles ever seen on a Mary
land race course. The winner was
Thomas Hitchcock's Bryndor. who paid
s414O for So ticket. When the field
was sent away the horses raced to the
first fence like a troop of cavalry, and
throughout the two-mile journey they
were closely punched l. Temple
Gwathmeys good mare. Belle of Bryn
Mawr was showing the way, with
Brooks. Crest Hill, Hibler, Shannon
River and New Haven alternately chas-
ing her. Bryndor, under a careful ride
by Franklin, was taking his time. and
it was not until the far turn was
reached that he loomed up as a serious
contended. Belle Of Bryn Mawr mean
time had put away the others and
successfully stalled off the bold chal-
lenge OF Hibler. Over the last fence
Belle OF Bryn Mawr hung a trifie and
Bryndor, going strongly, wore her
down in the run to the wire, ard at the
end was winner by head. Hibler took
third place easily enough. The race
was remarkable. as not one of the
starters went down Notwithstanding
the field was wet.

Buyers Of Iron and Steel Find ThemselUes at Mercy
 Of Genuine War Market

of attainment of seemingly impossible price levels has been a scramble of consumers to cover all open needs and to vigorously gather in tonnage for first half of 1918. This has led to wild week in market valuations, the most unrestrained yet undeveloped. Prices have jumped $5 to S7 further in princi- pal northern grades, until $50 iron as a historic event quickly has faded. Buyers rushing into market have been shocked to find furnaces booked up heavily even to July of next year. Some producers have only 5 to 10 per Cent unsold to that date.
 Each definite disclosure of govern ment plans piles up tonnage of steel that will be called for now or later. Each development shows that original estimates of the' percentage of finish ing capacity that will be absorbed for rolling purposes must be sharply re- vised upward. The loss of approxi- mately 300.O0O tons In May thrilled tonnage of the Steel corporation, the first reduction in several months, re- fleets the manner in which capacity is being held off the market awaiting taking form of government plans.

MANY APPLICANTS FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THE
 BLACK-EYE PEA CLUB
Movement Fostered by Local Whole sale Merchants and Member
 ship Is Growing Daily

Secretary T. P. Hay of the food pre- paredness campaign, has already received several applicants from the boys and girls in those counties adjacent to Bir- mingham and Jefferson county making ap- plcation for membership in the Boys and Girls Black-eye Pea club.
 q received a half dozen in the morn Ipg's mail, and this afternoon at O clock there came in another batch of letters from the boys and girls" said Secretary Hay If they wish to get in on this proposition, the other boys and girls will have to hurry. as the applications are coming in so fast that we believe that we are going to fill up the club before the week ends. This only goes to show where we benefit from the press, for fol- lowing the article which appeared in The Age H erald on Sunday and Monday morn- ings the applications began to come in, concluded MT. Hay.
 The black eye pea campaign is fostered bv local wholesale merchants, and it looks as if they have landed on a live proposition, from the way the membership Is growing in one day. The boy or girl in each family who wants to grow peas can get 10 pounds of seed peas from Sec retary Hay by joining the club and agree ing to pay back 30 pounds of peas when his crop is gathered. He should make 500 to 500 pounds from the 10 pounds planted
