MRS. WOODROW WILSON
yesterday visited al race
track for the first time, motoring
out to Laurel with Rear Admiral
and Mrs. Cary T. Grayson, and In
celebration OF the occasion Ad-
rniral Grayson had his crack colt,
My Own, put through a fast six
furlong trial. That Mrs. Wilson
thoroughly enjoyed the expert
ence was apparent and her pres
ence served to recall the friendly
interest which Former President
Wilson and his wife always took
in DR.. Grayson's racing activities
when they were in the White
House.
There was story one time-it
must have been just before the
United States entered the war
against Germany-of Admiral
Grayson entering Mr.. Wilson's Of
flee about noon with a plea for IN
afternoons leave which bore strik-
ing resemblance to the grand
mothers funeral story, which New
York office boys are brushing ur
about now in anticipation for an.
other World Series.
Mr.. Wilson was said to have
agreed to the admirals taking the
afternoon off ito attend to a lit
tie business" but as DR.. G.aysor
was leaving the room the Presi-
dent, knowing full well the races
were in progress, said with a
smile:
81 hope you have luck"
