Racing on the Maryland Outlaw Tracks In
definitely Suspended,


Iron Hill, Md. June 3. The end of
the farcial game in Maryland was
reached to-day. when the management
of the Iron Hill track decided to dis
continue racing indefinitely owing to
the poor patronage. The announce
ment of the closing, while not entirely
unexpected, was a blow to majority
of the horsemen, who have been living
from hand TO mouth for some time past.
just what is to become of the thousand
or more horses that are at present
quartered in Cecil county is matter
of con lecture.
There is nu place for them 10 race
and il left in ideness they will soon eat
their own heads off, figuratively speak
ing. Many OF the horses are almost
worthless, having been broken down by
continuous racing and frequent "dop-
ing" There are a few fairly good
horses and some of these were hurried
out of the State to-day to avoid attach
ment on feed bills. ,,-
Since racing began on this circuit OF
outlaw tracks there have been 293 days
of alleged sport, divided as follows;
lS96-Elkton, &c days Barksdae, &c
days; Iron Hill, No. ] track, 30 days
