Bowie Tempting Top Horses
With Nearly Million in Purses
Track Is Keeping
John B. Campbell
At 100000

The Bowie race track, given
the earliest opening date in
Maryland racing history for a
41-day meeting next spring, has
launched an about money Of
fensive to lure the good horses
to Maryland in the dead of
winter.
With top-caliber thorough
breds racing, track officials be-
lieve the customers will sup
port the program and they an
nounced a purse schedule Of
nearly 81 million last night that
may be a magnet for horse
owners.
Bowie will open February IL
next year and will run through
March 80.
That is the time the better
horses generally winter in Flor
ida at the Hialeah and Gulf
stream tracks. Bowie figures
that its purse offerings, with
a $4,000 minimum for every
race. will be a factor in making
many stables bring their strings
to Maryland instead.
Campbell at 100000
Bowie also is renewing the
John B. Campbell Memorial
Handicap at its maximum value
of 100000 added, Donald C.
Lillis, president of the track,
revealed in outlining his and his
associates plans for the meeting.
Since the introduction of the
Campbell as a memorial to the
noted Handicapped in 1854, the
race has been advanced from a
$25 900 added affair to its present
important figure. 1t has at
tracted such top-flight turf per-
formers as Sailor, Social Outcast,
Helioscope and Fisherman.
Not only will this big stake be
kept at 100000, but the over
night program, the backbone OF
the daily racing. will be greatly
increased money-wise. Lilus
listed a program calling for a
SCOT, 900 distribution for over
night events. daily average Of
$4,000, highest in Maryland's
racing history. This years aver
age was about $24. 900.
Retains Stakes Schedule
The $4,000 minimum per race
is a healthy increase over the
$4,000 in effect this year. That
list naturally has the backing Of
the Horsemen's Benevolent and
Protective Association.
Howard S. Pierce, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the
track, said the stakes schedule
run this year will be retained.
They will run either the same
stakes or possibly change the
conditions and increase purses
in some cases.
Other stakes at Bowie other
than the Campbell last season
ranged upward from $500. with
two in the $4,000 category and
one going for $50, 1000. Although
the exact details have not been
worked out. a similar list is be-
ing drawn for next spring.
we are determined TO give
horses In all categories a crack
at part Of the stakes money"
Pierce said.
He added that in all probable
ity the stakes purses would be
considerably more" than the
5227.500 paid out this year.

END OF THE BIG TOP?

Many a heart was Saddened
by the announcement that the
tour Of the last of the great cir
cuses had been abruptly ended
in mid-SeaSon, and that the
spectacle would not be seen
again, at least in traditional
form. Soaring costs apparently
had made operation impossible.
The circus parade finally
destroyed by modern traffic
was as American as apple pie.
And the circus itself brought
color and wonder to all the Main
Streets of the nation.
A thought expressed by the
New York Herald Tribune will
be echoed by millions of us:
"But if the tent itself and it's
ranked wooden benches, it's
tanbarck, it's color and it's whole
atmosphere Of impermanent
fantasy, were to vanish forever
into folklore and fading memo
ries; it would be a tragedy of
large proportions. Americans are
ingenious They pride them
selves on it. Let's summon up
that quality to save the big
ton"

TAX FACTS

More than half of all U. S..
government receipts in 1855
came from individual income
taxes, reports the 1856 Yearbook
of The American Peoples Ency-
clopedia. Because of tax rate
cuts, the individual income tax
es amounted to $31 ,649, 100000, a
decline of $733, 100000 from the
previous year. However, employ
ment tax receipts increased for
the year and for fiscal 1856, the
existing tax rates were expect
