Who Attend the Races.

Editor Rockville Sentinel In your issue
of May ~ you published an appeal, over
the name of Charles Albert, calling upon the
citizens of Montgomery county to exclude
from the grounds of the Agricultural So
ciety, on the occasion of their Annual Fair,
all horses kept for racing purposes, that they
may thereby avoid attracting to said Fair,
from Washington, that class OF persons who
make a practice Of attending races, exhibit
tons of speed, &c. Now as your widely
circulated journal is read by nearly every
citizen in Montgomery county and great
many in the District of Columbia, think
it would be only fair to both, as well as just
10 the members of the National Fair Ass0-
citation and Jockey Club, to name some of
the class who attended our last meeting
Of course you have read the long list Of
distinguished attendants, as given in your
Washington exchanges, but these may not
have come to the notice of many of your
readers and clip from the Sunday Capital
the enclosed extract contained in the report
of the races as given by that journal, which
| trust you may he able to reproduce for the
benefit of your subscribers.
| am very respectfully, &c, Stakeholder
in National Fair Association and member
of National Jockey Club.
