Ailld Va AlSloll dllld plldU gives UllS
Roadsiders one of their better oppor-
tunities
The new play, fourth of the season,
does not hit the high standard of
"Our American Cousin" but to expect
that probably is to be indecently un-
reasonable. That play clicked from
the first performance to the last.
In Mizzoura" probably will miss that
mark by but one, for the rough spots
OF the opening should be sandpapered
out before you finish reading this.
Even with a few defects, In Miz-
Houra" is good entertainment. If your
grandmother is too busy to tell you
what it is all about, it concerns a
Missouri sheriff who is cross between
Tristram and Gary Cooper, mail
bandit who isn't as leprous as you'd
think, the girl of both their dreams
and a miscellany of other pioneers
out that-away. The girl took lot
OF showing (you know these Missouri
glrls) before it penetrated her thick
blond skull that the sheriff was a lot
better bet than the bandit in any,
body's marital lottery.

Foreign Horses
Will Compete
At Pim|i(o

Five races, among them one,
the first, at Pimlico, on WedneS-
day, May 9, have been arranged
for the So foreign jumpers i'm
ported by subscription and dis
tributed by lot early this year at
Belmont Park, it has been an
nounced by the Subscription
Steeplechase Committee composed
of Harold E. Talbot, chairman;
A. C. BoStwick and F. S. Won
Slade.
The Pimlico race, a weight-for-
age steeplechase at two miles, will
have value of $4,000, of which
amount $4,000 will be donated
from the subscription fund and
the balance by the Maryland
Jockey Club. The winner will
take $4,000, the second $500, third
$3.50 and fourth $100.
The second race booked is at
Belmont on Friday, May IA, under
the same conditions as for the
PiInlico event.
Third Race on Tap
The Queens County Jockey
Jockey Club will offer the third
race at Aqueduct on Monday,
June Z. This one will be a
hurdles race at a mile and a half
with conditions the same as at
Pimlico and Belmont.
Saratoga gets two Of the races
for the subscription horses, one
on August 7. the other on August
19. Both will be steeplechases at
two miles and under the same
conditions as those outlined for
Pimlico and Belmont.
Quite naturally, all five races
are for the subscription horses ex
clusively, and the winner Of any
one of them will become ineligible
for entry into the succeeding
races until the running of two
championships which will be de
cided at the fall meetings at
Aqueduct and Belmont.

Each Of the two championships
will have a gross value of $500

associations (Queens County

The Aqueduct race will be at tive
