Club, having completed a railroad to their race
track at Pimlico, made an excursion yesterday
afternoon with a small party of gentlemen, in
Guiding representatives of the press, over their
new road in advance of the formal opening Tues
day The new road, about mile and a half in
length, connects with the Western Maryland at
Arlington Station, and from thence runs directly
to the platform in the rear of the grand stand at
Pimlico. 1t is built in the most substantial mall
ner, of heavy rails and well ballasted, and the
train this evening made the distance from Union
depot on Charles street, landing its passengers at
the grand stand in fourteen minutes. The build
ing of this road has long been needed. the princi
pal means of reaching Pimlico heretofore having
been by hiring hacks at considerable cost and pri
vate conveyance. The fare now by the new road
is fixed at fifty cents for the round trip and the
clouds of dust on race days will be avoided. The
formal opening of the road takes place on Tuesday
next, on which occasion four races are advertised
to come off. The regular spring meeting of the
Jockey Club commences on Tuesday, the 24th in
stant and will continue four days. Many of the
best stables of the country, embracing the most
noted racers, are already on the ground, and the
spring meeting promises to be of great interest
