Inside the Paddock.

There already are more than 100
horses quartered at the Bowie race
track, and more than eighty of these
have spent the winter there, the
others. including Buck Foreman's
having come up from New Orleans
recently. The horsemen who have
wintered at Bowie report 1t a most
healthful spot for horses, and there
has not been a cough from one of
them.
Horsemen are beginning to ship
to Bowie, Mr.. McLennan reported,
and applications for stable room al
ready exceed the accommodations.
The Maryland Jockey Club. which
always has been progressive, is TAX
ing another step In the right direc-
tion. The management Is perfecting
plans for three new handicap races
to be gun during the spring meet in
May. No stake thoroughbreds will
be allowed to enter. but those that
compete will assure the fans of a
contest from beginning to end.
Every horse on the ground. except
of course, the ones that have made
turf history, will be eligible. After
the names OF the possible starters
have been handed to william p.
Riggs, secretary. they will be pre-
sented TO committee of three for
rating. Working on a basis of thir-
ty entries. they will be divided into
groups OF ten.
Top weight. will be l2s pounds,
and a graduating system of allot-
ting the weights will be used. This
will give the Jockeys of more than
the average weight chance to pi-
lot horses that are not topnotchers.
