 One of the satisfactory prospects of the meeting here is that there win be any sum of good riders. Al former meetines there have been four or five of the foremost to accept mounts but there was to frequently somh good horse in the race for which no spe- cially capable jockey could be secured With more than seventy jockeys now listed and granted licenses for the meeting, there will be no doubt about every horseman securing the services of a good rider for his candidate.

of the men stepped 10 the front rank. each carrying his rifle and about his waist a heavy web belt, the pockets of which bulged with magazines car rying twenty rounds each Behind him stood his ammunition carrier, also belted and with two cross belts swinging from his houlders.
 The riflemen swung their guns to shoulder a. easily as an ordinary single shot weapon. The first firing was semi-automatie, feature first developed by the French in the eau chat and which has gone far, it is said, towards revolutionizing trench warfare Set for this action, the gun ner pulls the trigger for each shot but he has twenty charges ready to- send at an individual enemy without dropping the gun from his houlder. The targets flew into splinters as the squad got to work
 A second magazine was fired also from the shoulder with the automatic action set. The ten guns delivered twenty shots each in flare of sound almost a single report. The targets and the earth around them were torn by two hundred bullets, none of which was far off its mark.
 Advancing fire followed both auto matic and semi automatic. The line moved across the field. firing from the hip this time with gun butts rest ing in metal cups on their belts The first twenty rounds were delivered as the men were taking three paces A new magazine. handed forward by the ammunition carrier, was slipped iii and firing resumed as they took the next two steps. The change took lt- lie more than @ second of time.
 Representative Caldwell, of New York, was the first member of con- gress to try the gun. He fired forty rounds both semi-automatic and au- tomatic He was followed by Sena- tors Wadsworth, Sutherland, Free llinghuysen and Reed and Represen- tatiyes Kelly of Michigan and Sisson | of Alabama.
 The dirt flew about the targets as the coneressmen banged away.

Washington, Feb. 27.-The latest American contribution to warfare the Browning automatic rifie-was l officially introduced to congress to- day at demonstration stage in a 1 remote valley in the hills that sur round this city. For more than two hours the air was filled with the snarl and crash of the firing, soldiers and representatives operating the new weapons for themselves, under direc ton of a squad of soldiers from the machine gun school at Springfield. Mass.
 High army officials. including As sistant Secretary Crowell, Major Gen eral Riddle, acting chief of staff, and a score of officers from the British. French, Italian and Belgian missions
 watched the demonstration with keen interest There was no target prac- tice although a line of figures shaped like men was battered 10 pieces by the squad of ten gunners.
 Members of congress also scored repeated hits, although it was the first time they had handled a weapon of | this character.
 As to performance of the ten guns used there was not a stoppage or mal- function, despite the fact that hun dreds of rounds were fired and the squad from the school had never seen the guns before last Saturday When firing with the automatic rifles was completed two Browning heavy machine guns were put into 1 action. Thousands of bullets were sent streaming across the valley. Again there was TO malfunction and the demonstration was completed with
 an exhibition of the simplicity of con- struction, one of the guns being dis
 mounted, taken apart and reassembled
 in a few minutes time. These two guns have been selected by the ord nance bureau of the war department with which the army is soon to be
 equipped. The automatic rifles used
 came from factories where production on a quantity scale has started. With | in a matter of weeks hundreds will be delivered every day. They are
 lover the top" guns of tomorrow as
 the French chauchat is used by
 French and American troops today 1 A n-commissioned officer of the demonstration detachment who with
 his assistants has been drilled with
 every type of weapon used by the allied troops, including the, chaucet, the only prototype of the new rifle spoke for the whole squad when he said:
 "That's the finest gun in the world" "
 When the invited guests arrived at
 the range they found twenty men from
 the school, commanded by Major J.
 S. Hatcher, busy filling magazines and
 belts. The ten rifles were unpackeu
 and the visitors were astonished at
 the lightness of the weapons. They
 weigh fifteen pounds loaded with 20
 rounds which can be fired in a breath.
