THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND
THIS IS "MARRYING YEAR," SAYS BILLY PARKER,
DAN CUPID'S ASSISTANT AT TOWSON
Marriage Runs According To Years, Observes The Genial Marriage
License Clerk, But Whether The Explanation Is Psychological,
Economic Or Climatic He Refuses To Say.
This is "Marrying Year." That's the way it's designated by Billy Parker, the genial and obliging Marriage License Clerk at the Court House, Towson, who is a recognized assistant of little Dan Cupid.
Yea, Billy ought to know, for he has had many year's observation in issuing passports for a journey on the "set of matrimony," which makes him a popular authority on tendencies toward married life, although he has never summoned up courage to take the jaunt himself.
Numerous marriages at Easter time always used to connote numerous marriages during the following June, according to Billy, and he went further to say that marriages seem always to run according to

The spring meeting of the Maryland Jockey Club takes place at Pim-lico from May 1st to 15th, inclusive,
Extraordinary preparations have been made to render this one of the greatest meetings ever held in this country with $223,000 added in eleven days, overnight purses of $1300, $1500 and $2000, and all the best horses in training to take part.
Particular interest attaches to the revival of the famous Dixie Stakes with $25,000 added; the classic Preakness, $50,000 added, and the Green Spring Valley Steeplechase, $5,000 added.
A new race for jumpers called the Sporting Steeplechase will be offered for the imported subscription horses distributed last fall by lot, and which have brought a number of new owners into the game.
Among the subscribers was Mrs. Raymond T. Baker, daughter of Colonel Isaac E. Emerson, of Brook-landwood Farms, Baltimore County, who will show her colors between the flags for the first time this season.
The usual program of seven races including a steeplechase will be offered each day with an important stake event as the feature, and the first race will start at 2.30 P. M.

The 1924 program of the greatest show on earth introduces a policy of augmentation in every department.

Equestrianism is one of the outstanding features. May Wirth, the greatest of all bareback riders; the entire Wirth family, the hurricane comedy rider, "Phil, the marvel," the Reiffenach Sisters, performing sensational acrobatic feats on running horses, but suggest the calibre of the more than seventy equestrians presented. No less amazing are the scores of modern physical culture champions who perform aloft in the mammoth big-top. Bertha Beeson, premier high-wire artist leads an entire congress of mid-aerial stars. Lily Leitzel, most noted of all aerial gymnasts, heads a world-famous galaxy of fair women athletes. Lillian Kincaid is foremost among beautiful girls who performs in "revolving cloud swings" at the very dome of the tent. Jenny Cooney leads a score of artists on the single and double trapeze.
Further pursuing their policy of bigness in displays throughout the entire length of the main tent, the Ringling Brothers have united the famous English Clarkonians with the American Nelsons in super-casting acts. This augmented company of artists are pitted against the Silbon, Siegrist and Neapolitan troupes in the most remarkable aerial casting acts ever seen in a circus big-top.
