Pressure is constantly being brought to bear in- Iformally, however, on the British i Foreign office and admiralty to ame ' liorate conditions with respect to I American cargoes and ships and if not relieved shortly, general representa tions of a broad character would not Ibe surprising.

M.—Horse racing was resumed in Germany to-day with the opening of the Spring meeting at Hoppgarten track in a suburb of Berlin, in the presence of a crowd almost as large as is usually present in peace times. The pari-mutual system of betting has been temporarily abandoned, but bookmakers are allowed to accept wa gers although the odds are not pub lished. There are large fields for all races, with 26 starters in the principal event. Subjects of nations at war with Ger many are barred from the grounds. This rule applies to trainers and jock eys as well as to spectators and was adopted as a measure of precaution to prevent hostile demonstrations against British race track followers, many of whom were engaged on the German turf before the war began. It had been feared the controversy over the shipment of munitions of war from the I'nited States to nations hostile to Germany might, result in some exhibition of feeling against American trainers and jockeys, but two victories to the credit of Jockey Archibald seemed the most popular of the day.
