TO SEE
SPRING RACE MEET

There will be another short season
Of racing this spring at Arlington
Park, just across the Potomac river
from the White House lot. The meet
ing is conducted by the National Capt.
tai Horse Show Association.
Last season the racing was added
to the horse show, and 1t proved so
popular that for the coming season il
is probable that it will occupy a much
more important place on the program.
The dates chosen for the meeting this
year arc from May 20 TO May "a, and
they will surely fit In better with A
racing program than did April % to
p. the dates that were taken in 1918.
