NEW YORK, May 13 With prom ise of fair weather, society, race track followers am! all those who love blooded horses in contest, have but one point of interest today, the Bel mont Park, where the West Chester Racing Association's Spring Meeting opens this afternoon with the Metro politan Handicap, the first of the real big races of the season on the card. "Metropolitan Day" marks the beginning of "real racing" in New ork, and although there have been meetings at other tracks,, Belmont Park really has the honor of opening the season. Belmont Park is known ns the most magnificent race course in the world and for weeks gardeners have been at work mowing and rolling the lawns and filling the great flower beds which do much to add to the beauty of the settling is which horses carry- ng the colors of the famous horse owners in the country will do battle for supremacy in the 15th contest for he Manhattan cup. From early indications that fully 3000 persons will be at the track when the bugle calls the horses to paddock for the big event of the day. Today's great race will be the 17th struggle for the classic. Its history is filled with notable performances, but it is doubtful if at the close f the contest this afternoon there will seen a more bitterly foueht race. The elements are there and only bad luck can prevent the best horses from achieving new records. The fastest mile as yet made in the race since it was run at Belmont Park was when Grapple beat a big field in 1 :39. This was in 1906. In 1903 when the late Wm. C. Whitney's Gunfire won Morris Park the race was run 1:38 1-4. No better field of horses has en tered in several years. When Sysonby finished a dead heat with race King in 1905 the horses that came along in the rear were not the eauals of those that compete today. From Salvidere, the Brighton Cup winner of last sea son, down to the lightly weighted Don Creole, that is considered by Handicapper Vosburgh the slowest horse in the race, there is not a thor oughbred that has not come claims to distinction as a racer. It is rarely at this season of the year that so many horses of high ciass compete. But tne open spring weather has been a great help in ad vancing training and the local race goers who have been longing for a contest between the tipper ten will have their wish granted. There is said to be a chance that Salvidere may not start and at the last moment Mr. Keenc may scratch Restigouche and pin his faith in Superman. BELMONT PARK, N. Y., May 13.

With the fine weather, society, and all those who love blooded horses in contest, had but one point of interest today the Belmont Park where the West Chester Racing Association's Spring meeting opened this afternoon with the Metropolitan handicap, the first of the really big races of the season on the card. "Metropolitan Day" marks the beginning of "real racing m New York, and although there have been meetings at other tracks, Belmont Park has the honor of really opening the season.
