THE LATE PIMLIco RAcSs-PEcUNIARY RESULT.
The San of Thursday says: IA large number
of persons who had been in Baltimore during the
past ten days attending the recent fall meeting of
the Maryland Jockey Club left for their homes
Tuesday night and yesterday. The postpone
ment of the races proved decided item to hotel
keepers. 1t is understood that ont of over four
hundred names on the registered list of active
members of the jockey club there are in reality
only about enc hundred who pay up their annu-
al dues of S25 for each race meeting held. The
managers of the club are only able TO calculate
upon receiving about So, 900 from dues. This
during the late meeting left balance of SIS, 900
to be paid from the gate receipts and from addi-
tonal assessments. Should the gate receipts not
be sufficient, the burden would fall upon individ-
ual members. 1t is understood, however, that
the meeting has been pecuniarily, as otherwise,
one of the most successful ever held in Baltimore.
1t now remains to be seen what the managers
will do for the improvement of the race track"
