( It Is reported Hartsville will send i i big delegation of students to cheer their team. Camden's student body i Is certain to turn out en masse, as J the sensational playing of the Camden 1 team thhs season has caught the fancy J of the community. The flashy and brilliant play of the ?

There bus been considerable specuntlon on the part of many during' the ?ast several weeks as to whether the lorsea now in training here and those oming in from northern points, would >e in condition for the races, in as nuch as the inclement weather has irevented much conditioning and ruining of the Jumpers. Ab a matter of fact, horses that tave been coming in from the north u the past several days have not had my conditioning at all. The Hunt dub, in the face of these conditions, elt it would bo better to cancel the nogram than to offer it with a uiinlnum of entries. To attempt to put he race program on with only a few lorses would have reflected seriously jpon the usual high slandartl of the Camden races, It was believed. The presence of some one hundred steeplechaso horses in Camden at this Lime with others coming in, insures \ record entry list Jor the Carolina Cup classic on April 1. It was announced Thursday noon by the chamber of commerce that the calling off the Washington Birthday races would not In any way interfere with a proper observance of the holiday and steps will be taken immediately in cooperation with the polo club, the hunt club, the city and the chamber to arrange for a series of athletic events and entertainment that will focus the eyes of the state upon Camden that day. A meeting was held at the chartlber office late Thursday at which time plans for the day were discussed. All , ment of the program contemplated will be made In the press within the next few days.
