NEW YORK. April 2o.-Ever since
France and England were forced into
the great war, in the summer Of 1914,
this country has from time to time
been greatly benefited by the impor-
tation Of thoroughbred horses Of quail
ity. and each season since has brought
to the races both French and English
horses that would never have been
shipped over had it not been for the
war. Thoroughbreds were put on the
market that in time of peace and pros
perity would never have gone to the
sales ring, and America has profited to
the extent of greatly enriching the ma
tive thoroughbred.
For the racing season so soon to
open In New York there will be more
foreign thoroughbreds than ever be-
fore. and this increase promises to go
on. for there have been many importa-
lions of thoroughbred yearlings that
will not come to the races until 1919.
The number of imported horses of
racing age in this country is well
demonstrated in the entries for the
$4,000 Preakness of the Maryland
Jockey Club that is to be decided at
Pimlico May Is. For this race there
were IA entries received. and of the
number fifty-one are imported There
will be found. almost a like percentage
in the two-year-old stakes. and the
fofeign-breds are destined to cut a most
important figure in the sport this sea-

they have ever known. One thing
should be guarded against this season.
II this big business does develop, and
that is a repetition of the exorbitant
prices that prevailed in some Of the
tourist hotels two years ago, when the
crowd was SO great. 1t seems that tn.
law Of averages does not hold good
when those catering to the public got
the chance to cvercharge. When bust
ness Is extra good one would think
that they would be satisfied to take
the regular prices but 1t has been re-
peatedly shown that as soon as there
is a demand for extra accommoda.

INDICATIONS OF BIG
TOURIST SEASON

The announcement made yesterday
that the directors Of the Flag.er Sys'
TEN of railroads and hotels had decld'
ed on opening all of their hotels when
they had announced some time ago
that they would not open the Alcazar
at st. Augustine and the Breakers at
Palm Beach, two of their best ncstel-
ries in Florida, is an excellent indi-
cation that we are just approaching a
big tourist season.
With the war practically ended and
business conditions rapidly returning
to normal and the worry largely re-
moved, the people of the United
States will heave a long sigh Of re-
lief and again turn to beautiful Flor
ida for relaxation, for health and for
relief from the rigors Of the North
ern winter, where fuel Is scarce and
awfully high priced.
Two years ago Florida had the
greatest tourist season In its history
and it is now confidently predicted
that the approaching season will
eclipse even that record breaker Last
winter many thousands were kept at
home on account of extreme business
activities in connection with the war
and all OF these have made money and
will be anxious to enjoy again a trip
to Florida and the rest and improve
ment in health that comes from the
balmy climate, the invigoratiIg sea
baths and the many outdoor plea,
ures and recreations. Many other
thousands were kept away from Flor
Ida because they felt it their duty and
II was their desire to spend their
spare time with their boys In the va
rlous camps. Now that their anxiety
ever parting with the soldiers Is un
necessary, they will turn again to
Florida and bring their boy heroes
with them, to recuperate and enjoy q
well'earned holiday beneath the warm
sun of the days and the lovely moon
of the nights in Florida, which are
unsurpassed in all the world.
Many other thousands who were
kept away by business or necessity
last winter will wend their way to
Florida this season, in automobiles,
on boats and IN trains and once more
the accommodations Of the State will
be taxed to their utmost and Florida
will resume It's wonted air Of enjoy
ment and spread its most tempting vi.
ands and its many attractions before
the winter tourists and residents, who
are always given a warm welcome.
