TURF TALK.


as to the opening of the Maryland
tracks. 1t was first given out by the
Iron Hill management that they would
open on No. 2 track November Is posi-
lively, bnt now it is doubtful if they
open before the GOTH Their eX-
cuse for postponing, according to one of
the officials, is that they want to give
the management Of the Southern Racing
Association time to run the seven re-
manning days if they so desire.
When they were consulted last right
as to resulning again they wanted it un-
derstood that under no circumstances
would they give the Hundred Dollar
Purses which the horsemen demand, and
as the members of the Owners and Jock
ey Associat ion refused to accept less we
may not see any more racing this year at
Singerly.
There is one thing we all know, and
that is that there are thirty-seven days
left to run, and only forty-three days
in which to run them, so if they don't
start very soon these days will go to waist
and as the management Of the association
has never given anything away, we can
hardly expect them to start now.
Paddock Talk.
