All persons interested in the
racing of horses other than on
the flat conjure up stirring scenes
when they think of the Maryland
Hunt Cup race.
This great classic, inaugurated
in 1894 and made a permanent
event in 1895, is now recognized
all over the world as one of the
greatest of all point-to-point
events.
Stuart Rose, historian of the
event, has given us a complete
and full account of every peril

the Maryland Hunt Cup.

The sport of steeplechasing be.

and fox hunters. American fox
hunting originated in Colonial
Virginia, Colonial Maryland and
the Carolinas. This despite
claims from the northeastern por-
ton of the United States. Lord
Fairfax's hounds and General
Washington's pack, as Rose points
out, attest. All through this
Maryland-District of Columbia
Virginia area. huntsmen answered
the horn and rode to the hounds
in Colonial days, but such hunts
were unorganized.
AS gentlemen of this area were
afforded more and more leisure
time, more and more they became
addicted to the hunting habit
The terrain of this area isroved
attractive to mounted men and
women. Blood stock was i'm
ported from England. Racing be-
came common. However, in the
matter of organized hunts in
Maryland, it was in the late 1870s

DON'T QUOTE ME
(By the United Prcss)

Washington, Jan 5-(UP)-Con- gress got the first of its appro- priations bills yesterday. These bills provide the funds to run the government for the fiscal year, and glance gives impressive evidence of how extensive a business the government has come to be.
 The bill reported to the house yesterday is the first deficiency bill, and it carries total of $125,886,- 262.75-a large sum but, compara- lively, perhaps the least important of the appropriation bills. It's main items are $50,O00.000 for public roads, $46,872.O00 for the veterans administration, and $17,OO0,O00 for public buildings, chiefly in the Dis trict of Columbia. Then comes the mass of small appropriations which give some idea of the vast extent of government activities.
 There is total of $293,594.31 appropriated just to balance the governments books. This is made up of small items which have been allowed by the general claims office against funds long since either ex- hausted or turned back into the general treasury.
 A study of this section reveals that the government still is appro- priating for the pay of soldiers of the Spanish American War. There is an item of $330.06 for pay of army-war with Spain" And the World War bills still are coming in. There is an appropriation of $8 for the United States food administra- | tioD of which Herbert HoOvpr was the head during the war
