Daylight Saving, Here and Abroad.
Daylight saving, from Sunday,
March 81, to Sunday, October 81,
1918, was established by Congress
in March 1918, as an effective
method of conserving the health,
the wealth, and the mineral re-
sources of the nation. All clocks in
the country were moved forward one
hour, at 2 a. M, March 81.
The adoption of the plan by the
United States is attributable to it's
successful operation in Great Bri-
tain, France, Italy, Germany,
Austria, Holland, Denmark, Sweden,
Norway, Portugal, Australia, and
Iceland.
1t was estimated that Great
Britain in which the plan is in force
only during four and one-half
months each year saved in 1916,
approximately 100000 tons of coal,
and 1900 tons of fuel oil. In
France, where the plan was in oper-
alton only three and one-half
months, the saving in coal that year
aggregated approximately 100000
tons.
Estimates of the saving in coal
that will be effected in 1918 in the
United States under the present day
light saving plan vary from 1,0O0,-
600 tons to 100000 tons.
The amount of, coal used in this
country during the summer months
in the generation of heat and light
is significant, however, when COM
pared with the amount consumed
during the other seasons of the year.
Great Britain and Northern Euro
pean countries have restricted the
use of the daylight-saving plan to
the summer months because the
hours of daylight during the re-
mainder of the year are so few as to
render the plan impracticable.
Practically all of Europe lies
north of the average latitude of the
United States, and the northern
boundary of this country is farther
south than the greater portion OF
Europe. In every portion of the
United States there are much more
than eight hours of daylight on even
the shortest day of the year. Day
light saving, therefore, would be
practicable continuously in this
country, and the saving affected
would be very much greater in the
winter than in the summer.
Two changes of time each year
will subject the railroads, and every
other common carrier, to an incon-
venience which would be obviated by
the permanent adoption of the pres
ent standard of time.
The difference in time between
Washington and London would be
shortened one hour by the perman-
ent adoption of the daylight saving
plan, by the United States, an item

Three-Heat Plan Gains
When D. J. Campau launched the
three-heat plan of racing at the Crosse
yell from the auction pool buyers, also
from drivers who were in the habit of
racing all of one day and part of the
next to settle an event. However,
Campau, who was power in his day,
stuck to it through all Of the rest OF
his meetings.
Since then it has been tried here
and there. and few tracks have con-
tinued more than a year or two How
ever, North Randall has made such a
success Of this plan that the Grand
a very powerful petition last January,
and as result some of tracks have
adopted it.
Now comes Lexington with the an
nouncement that the famous Transyl-
vania and all Of the rest of the stakes
will be raced in three heats. This is
somewhat of a surprise, for betting
at Lexington has always been heavy,
especially in the auctions. President
Ed. A. Upton says that the change was
made to suit the majority. and while
some of the horsemen will kick vigor
ously, it looks as though they are
reading the handwriting on The wall,
for Lexington is sort of a pacemaker
for the trotting tracks.
In this connection it is more or less
amusing to glance at the summary of
the Pennsylvania stake raced last Oc-
tober. 1t took seven heats to make the
award. Under the three-heat rule Ina
Jay would have been outside of the
money, Early Dreams would have been
first, and Royal Mac second.

Yale Oarsrnen
Divide E1onors
With Harvard
Second Varsity Eight Wins
Freshman Crew. Loses
to Crimson

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 25.--Yale
and Harvard divided honors in their
preliminary regatta on the Charles
River to-day. Harvard's freshmen, con-
querors of the Princeton first year
men, led the Yale freshmen crew all
the way over the mile and seven
eighths course, winning by length
and half. Harvard was timed at 10
minutes and seconds, and Yale at 10
minutes and Is seconds.
The contest between the second var
slty elghts was a gruelling fight to the
drop of the flag, the heavier Yale crew
having the stamina to lift their shell
across the line in the lead by half a
length. They caught the flag in 0:02,
with Harvard's time 10:04, considered
last for the rough water. The visitors
used Harvard boats.
In the freshman race the Harvard
youngsters ran away at the start until
half way over the course they had a
patch of open water over the Yale
boat. Here Yale made great rally
and closed the distance, but Harvard
was much smoother in the rought water
below the Harvard bridge.
In trying to row down the Crimson.
Yale began to splash and twice there
were bad breaks in the boat, enabling
Harvard to surge ahead. But each
time that Yale seemed hopelessly dis

Fine 3-Year-Old

The Craven meeting at Newmarket,
England, recently brought to light a
great three-year-old in Calendar, a
massive colt by Rochester, Calluna, and
owned by Lord Durham, chairman Of
the English Jockey Club. Nothing had
been previously heard of the colt as
a two -yearold, and none on the course
had the slightest inkling of the sensa-
tlonal race they afterwad saw in the
Column Produce Stakes
Among the starters was Scatwell,
rated by the Free Handicap as the top
notch classic candidate in training.
The race was run on the Rowley Mile,
and after the field broke away Calen-

winning as he liked.
In the Fitzwilliam Stakes for two
year-olds, at the same meeting, a juve-
nile named Grand Parade, by Dick Gro

Grand Geraldine, scored an impressive
win. In fact, it was the best display

Syracuse Fair Setting Pace
National Body Encourages
Colt Racing
By Frank S. Cooke

After the authorities had Knocked
out betting in the East it looked as
though this section of the country was
doomed to very stingy menu of sport
when il came to mile track racing. The
first operation to remove this appen-
dix to racing was in the instance of
Readville, then came Hartford after
that Providence and finally the drastic
legislation in New York. With it the
part that the Grand Circuit played in
racing dropped to the lowest ebb, and
it was matter of greatest concern
with breeders, owners and other Off
cials just what could be done to re-
store the heart beats
Some of the tracks stuck to it. and
the strong hold that trotting has on
Americans is shown in the way the
sport came back. Entries have been an
nounced for the Poughkeepsie,R ,Readville,
Hartford and Syracuse meetings in
turn, and they are more abundant than
those OF the first three meetings, which
are at North Randall, Kalamazoo and
Toledo. AS matter OF fact, the East
has come back so strong that there
is perfect balance in the two sections,
foretelling a great season If transpor-
tation is at hand and no unforeseen
hurdles are erected
The New York State fair at Syracuse
is setting the pace for the East, and
the entry, generally speaking, is the
best of any Of the tracks. The stellar
event, the Empire State Stake of S10,-
600, is for PIP trotters. and it received
thirfy-two entries, quite the largest in
any event Of its value.
Many Strange Entries
1t is noted in the entry that num-
Der Of horses practically unknown in
the Grand Circuit are on the list, and
most of these are local. Among them
are Larkspur, owned at Syracuse; Lord
Talbot, from Buffalo, Prince Milo, from
Rome; Burleigh Girl, from Annandale,
n j., and Spunk, from Endicott.
Then there are Prince Vincent, VAL
entine's new trotter,, that is working
so we'll at Columbus; the Bay State
half-miler, Earlwood L.. and Jim Cat
combs Gay Audubon, that have tried
il before; Prince Loree, that is coupled
with Peter Mac, and number of
others.
The class Of the Empire State bars
a number of horses that are in the rich
2:0S stakes along the line, and some
of these have dropped down into the
Governors Stake Of $4,000, for 2:os
trotters, which has no fewer than
eighteen entries, making it stand out
among all trotting events of the sea-
son. The horses in it, with their rec
ords and sires. are as follows:
