SNOW AND RAIN

AQUAGN|RE
1ncIement Weather Fails to
Halt Spring Training of
Thoroughbreds.
BY LEONARD w. COLLINS.

1t takes more than a couple of
inches of snow, followed by a
steady downpour of twenty-four
hours, to deter horsemen at Ben.
ming from keeping apace with their
spring training schedule.
AS the result of the snow and
rains of Thursday night and yes.
terday, the racing strip was nothing
other than quagmire, yet prac-
tically every stable galloped all or
part of their strings this morning
But nine days intervene between
the opening Of the Maryland cam.
paign,. at Prince Georges Park,
Bowie, and owners and trainers who
have quartered at Benning through.
out the winter do not propose to
permit break at this late date.
1t is hardly likely that any of
those stables, now there and which
have made stall reservations at
Bowie, will ship to the Southern
Maryland course before the middle
Of next week.
Trainer James w. Healey, Of the
"A. c. Bostwick establishment, is in
New York for the ostensible pur.
pose of experimenting the unload.

which is due in Gotham today.
Owner Bostwick, while in Eng
land, visited the Newmarket sales
and purchased the sensational three.

the year Melra has won three races
in England over the jumps.

for the Manly Memorial, Pimlico' s
biggest steeplechasing event.
OF the twelve stakes down for
decision, during the coming spring
meet of the Maryland Jockey Club,
four are to experience their second
renewals having been inaugurated
last year.
The quartet comprises the Jen.
Mings handicap, for three.year olds;
the Howard (claiming) for three.
year-olds, and the Arlington (claim.

that he persists in using the word
bite" when every bass fisherman
knows that all game fish strike
the bait.
His theory advanced regarding
the correct time or hour Of the day
for fishing are very vague as you
will admit when you read his
story. 1 think nearly every fisher
man in this locality will agree that
the early morning and evening are,
the best hours for bass fishing.
While have done very little night

catches being taken between 8 and
10 o'clock at night in our own

From the foregoing I take Il
that Mr.. Blank was using a hand
line. Not very sportsmanlike do
you think? A little further we
read II asked him in the meantime
whether he was prepared to give
me an idea Of the dimensions of
the fish that had bitten him."

He emphatically states that he
can estimate without a doubt the
exact size of a fish before he sees
it. 1 wonder if he drinks the same
kind of moonshine at all times? It
takes years Of experience and oh
servation to even guess within a

I'll bet old Izaak Walton turned
over in his grave when he saw
this great story regarding the

FOX BRANDING IRONS
 ARE ALL DISTRIBUTED

A total of IFS irons bearing dis tinct brands to be used in the mark ing of blue foxes raised by Alaska fur-farmers have been distributed from the office of the Territorial Secretary, according to announce ment made last week at Juneau by Secretary Karl Thiele. Each individ- ual band is registered in the of flee with the owners name.
 The irons were devised by the Secretary's office after series of consultations with fox growers and officials of the Federal Bureau of Biological Survey They were manu- factured by Chicago concern es- pecially for use by the fur-farmers of Alaska and are said to be the first of their kind to be used.
 The branding of blue foxes and registration of brands are required under a new law passed by the 1923 session of the Territorial Legisla- ture. All of the established farms now have irons and only few of the newer farms, just starting uo, are supplied, it was said
