The Preakness, from 1873, when it was first run, was one of the leading features of the Pimlico spring meetings to 1889, when it lapsed. It was revived on a more pretentious scale in 1909 and has been run annually since then. In 1918 it drew so many entries that it was run in two divisions, War Cloud winning one and Jack Hare Jr. the other. The Preakness was named after M. H. Sanfords good colt, by Lexington Bay Leaf, which won the famous Dinner Party Stakes, afterwards renamed the Dixie, at the inaugural Pimlico meeting in October, 1870, defeating Thomas W. Doswells Virginia-bred I Ecliptic and T. G. Moores Foster, a famous four-miler. Preakness was a village in New Jersey, where the Sanford Stock Farm was located. The fact that the colt was deemed good enough to be named for his birthplace indicates the esteem in which he was held.

I SEVENTY-FOUR ENTERED IN PREAKNESS Continued from first page. winning the much talked of Dinner Party Stakes, Preakness and Pimlico became so firmly associated in the minds of the racing public that a meeting at the old track without a memorial to his prowess was, in the opinion of Gov. Oden Bowie, then president of the Maryland Jockey Club, and his associates, unthinkable, so the Preakness was added to the stake program at the Hill Top track. In recent years the famous Woodlawn Vase has been added as a trophy annually through the courtesy of the successive winning owners of the Preakness. It is coveted by thoroughbred owners, particularly if they also are the breeders of the winner. William Woodward, whose Omaha won the 1935 Preakness, has agreed to offer the Woodlawn Vase in competition again for this years renewal.
