- RIGGS Of the Maryland
~ Jockey Club, announced yes
terday that In I'll . grand total Of
1858 nominationh representing
156 interests, had been made for

This exceeds by 17l the number
Of nominations received for the

This steady increase in nomina-
tionS. from year to year, Tor the
Maryland Jockey Clubs most pre-
tentious Of annual two-year-old
contests indicates but one thing.
and that Is that It is only q ques-
ton of time before the Pimlico
Futurity win be recognised as
Americas premier Juvenile classic
From a monetary standpoint the
Pimlico Futurity Of 1872 carried
far greater added value than either
the Saratoga Hopeful. the LszinS-
ton Breeders. the Belmont IN
turity, Churchill Downs Jockey
Club. Jamaica's Youthful. Latonia's
Clpsetta. or any other stake event
for two-year-olds-
And II is doubtful whether any
one Of them attracted to the post
q higher class of juveniles than
those which competed IN the Nary
land Jockey Clubs fixture. True
IL il that there were several two
year-olds of acknowledged class
which failed to start In the Pimhco
Futurity.
This was brought above through
the fact that their owners and
trainers had pointed them earlier
In the season for the more efa0-
tional stakes around New York
and Kentucky. and n . cOnse-
quence they were not In racing
condition when time came for the
running Of AarylAnd'sI feature.
But time may change all oG this.
There were any number Of owners
who. after the running OF the Pm.
lico Futurity, expressed regret that
their colors were not carried In the
race. 1t may be that next fall thoee

try 10 do what you direct
/ recognize your legal rightness
And In return mayn't | expect
Perhaps a little more politeness?
I'm not a crook of wicked crimes
am by no means a contriver;
Treat me with courtesy, at times.
/ am, yours truly,
Any Driver.
