r KIDAY, MAHCII 17, 1011. 40BI RAGING SEASON NEARAT HAND Turfmen Are Looking Forth to Active Campaign In East. BIG TRACKS TO OPEN AGAIN, Metropolitan Courses Preparing For Summer Meeting Jockey Clubs Of fering Liberal Purses For Stakes. Pimlico to Open Season. With the advent of spring tho turf men are looking forward to the open ing of the eastern thoroughbred horse racing season, which this years begins nt Jamestown, Vn., In April. There will bo racing at Sheepshend Bay, Gravesend, Hcluiont park and nt Saratoga, N. Y., to say nothing of the smaller metropolitan tracks on the Now York circuit. While many things may happen between now and the opening of the racing season, at pres ent the prospect for a summer's racing In the eat linf not looked brighter In several years. Several of the big stake races are to bo run on the metropolitan tracks this year, and Saratoga Is looklug forward to one of the best seasons In her his tory. It is the racing folk that keep the town going both in summer and winter that Is to say, the natives of Saratoga charge such high prices for everything In summer that they have enough cash left over when the season closes to carry them over until the bell ngain rings in the paddock. That the outlook for the season of 1011 on the New York tracks is bright Is shown by the fact that the West chaster Racing association and tho Saratoga association are nlroady shap ing up things for a lively campaign later on. At Ilelmout park stake races for this year include such classics as tho Juvenile, with $2,500 added; the Ladles', for fillies, three-year-olds, -with $5,000 added; the Belmont, with .$5,000 added, nnd several other stake events. Then nt Saratoga tho association will run the Saratoga special, the various hotel stakes which In years past were for $10,000 each; the nopeful stakes for two-year-olds, and many other classic events which have made the great American watering place famous throughout tho world. In Maryland tho outlook Is brilliant for n season of high class sport. No attacks have been made upon the turf game In this state. While the first meeting of the year will begin In Jamestown, Vn., tho sea son of 1011 in the cast will In reality begin nt Plmllco In April. Such prom inent stables us those of Herman Duryea, II. T. Wilson, Jnmes It. Keene, Sam Illldreth and possibly Harry Payne Whitney nnd A. Belmont are expected to race at the meeting. With tho stables of such world re nowned American turfmen racing once more the eastern season of 1011 will have a most brilliant beginning. POLO DATES FOR 1911.

Probably laboring under the theory that Mordccni Brown, star pitcher of tho Chicago Na tional baseball team, gained his efficiency when a finger was snipped oft" by a thrashing mn cbluc, Edward Griffith, who re cently signed for the Fort Smith team In the Western association, has had his toes cut off to in crease lils swiftness of foot. Smith formerly wns u City league player of prominence In Little Rock, Ark., but fouud the abnormal length of his toes mil itated against attaining any kind of speed as n base runner nnd ultimately retarded his ef forts to attract managers In tho larger baseball circles. PAULL TRAINING HARD. Big Things Expected of Pennsylvania's Great Runner This Season. Pennsylvania men are expecting great things of Wilton Pnull in the half and mile runs this season. Last year Paull was n disappointment, due to the fact that ho failed to get Into good condition. This year without the WILTON PAULI, PKNN'8 CRACK HUNNIIH. burden of the captaincy to bother him Trainer Mike Murphy expects him to duplicate hU records of 100!). Paull has been practicing Cor the past few weeks and has displayed some of his old time form, in 1009, when he won the Intercollegiate mile, Pnull was considered to bo one of tho greatest runners Pennsylvania ever produced. As this Is Paull's last year at the university he will strain every point to make a cleanup In all the events In which he Is entered.

The triangular course will bo ten nnd one half miles, sailed twice over, and tho wlndwnrd nnd leeward course four and one-half miles to each leg, eight ccn miles In all. LANNIGAN'S NOVEL SCHEME.

In order to teach the men of his track squad to run low he makes them dash underneath a rope. While tho scheme Is novel nnd orlglnnl, It will no doubt be of great benefit to tho sprint candidates. Starting out with not tho brightest prospects In tho world this year, "Pop" has developed a track team that will hold Its own with anything In the south. Ted Coy to Be Coal Baron.

A 81m Jle and iJirlnh Dniicm Po -n- Event Yes, It 13 rather early in the season to talk of graduation gowns, but tcmpus has a fashion of fugttlng quicker than schedule time In these strenuous days, so before one has a chance to turn around the sweet girl "grad" will be needing her new gown. The illustration shows a delightfully simple and girlish design for the oc casion. The tunic lacing Is one of the noticeable features, nnd altogether the gown Is "sweetly pretty," as our Eng lish cousins say. Boudoir Sets For Summer. The new spring lines In fnncj bou doir sets. Including sofa pillows, scarfs, bags, pincushions nnd a large number ot practical articles, are brought out In particularly attractive materials aud with pretty minor vari ations In the way of trimming, which makes them very fascinating to wo men In general, says the Dry Goods Economist One of the daintiest of boudoir sets is shown In white cotton voile, with a pink ribbon design running through It aud large pink roses placed on the rib bon at Intervals In border effect. This design adapts Itself admirably to the various methods of trimming. Cut Into strips the material is used as an attractive border all around the square pillow or In two vertical bor dors across the long pillow. The long pincushion and corset bag have this border running through the center. An effective new trimming that Is u revival of an old mode, old enough, however, to be again cnlled new, is the fringe and passementerie border of macrame cord By the way. wide bands of lace crocheteH In line ma erume cord, copying venlse patterns, are being used as high style dress trimmings, and this Is probably respon Bible for the reappearance of this kind of work In the fnncy goods depart ment New Combination Footwear. One ot the latest hints from Paris Is the (lowered stocking combined for effect with the gemmed slipper. The designer of this pretty combination made richly embroidered stockings, the figures being Bowers of any kind to suit the wearer's fancy, and set FtOWElIS ON STOCKINGS, OEMS ON TOl gems In the toe part of the velvet slip pers. Only the rich, of course, rati afford highly gemmed slippers, ixii the beflowered hosiery Is cheaper anil may be had at a nominal cost, though some of the designs are very elaborate aud are priced high. Creased Garments. Clothes packed away during the summer are often very creased. To remove the creases bung the urtlcles on a clothesline In the bathroom, shut door and window, turn on the hot water tap to till the room with steam ' and Irave the clothes for an hour or two Afterward dry In the open air if possible. jjpF R , The "Tea Leafer." A rood deal of the tea consumed by the working classes In the days when Arthur Young complained of the ad diction to this luxury had never seen either India or China. In one of John Ashton's works on England he cites a case In which a boy charged with gambling stated that the money found In his possession had been made by picking tea leaves. This led to the dis covery that many persons made a liv ing by picking Bloe leaves nnd white thorn leaves In the fields near Camber well and selling them to a local cow keeper for a penny a pound. One man said he picked from fifty to sixty pounds n day and always found a mar ket for them. The leaves were subse- I qucntly sold to a wholesale merchant I who obtained as much as 8 shillings a pound for them under the guise of ten. j The merchant was prosecuted and fined, not for adulteration, but for de frauding tho revenue. And tho "tea I leafer" Is still the slang name for the i petty thief. London Standard. Whims of Parrots. "It Is odd," said tho bird store keeper, "but It Is true, how people come Into n bird store and expect to open up a conversation with a parrot offhand. They fail and then make up their mind that the parrot Is worthless. This will apply to a majority of seekers after a talking parrot They do not give tho bird credit for the sense It actunlly possesses. There are parrots valued at nnywhere from $50 to $500 that will not bo conxed Into conversa tion with a stranger nor while he Is present, although they are the very best of talkers. Parrots often refuse to perform when there are purchasers looking on, but once the store Is clear of them they will chatter away through their whole vocabulary as If their very lives depended on their being heard. This obstinacy often spoils good sales. Most parrots will talk to a girl or wo man much quicker and freer than to a boy or a man." Browning's Monthly 1 The Usual Course.
