CECILS OUTLAW RACES BAEISHED
THE QUESTION is NOW WHERE
WILL THEY BE HELD-CLOSED
ON SATURDAY.

Elkton, Md, April with Satur-
days races, Cecil county parted COM
pany with the outlaw race-tracl1 gam
bling, which has held sway for two
years with almost continuous racing.
Many citizens are rejoicing over the
exodus, as this sport has had a bad ef-
feet on the community. The passing
of the Crothers anti-race track bill in
the Legislature is deemed by Cecil
people the most important measure
that has come before that body.
The managers of the races hailed
from New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
New York. They came into this coun-
ty and took advantage OF it's law for
their own benefit At the outset, the
community was perhaps benefited by
the races, but for the last year and a
half but little revenue has beenderived,
as only the hangers-on have stopped
here. Those with capital made Newark
or Wilmington their home
Two years ago a thirty-day meeting
was held at Elkton on the Cecil County
Fair grounds After this the scene
Shifted to Barksdale, and three tracks
were laid out at Iron Hill and con-
Quoted by the keystone Racing Asso-
citation. Singerly was the next track
built, making in all FIVE different

made for Elkton. and here for two
years past they have resided.
The meetings have been successful
to those interested. and it is believed
that hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been made. At the first Spring
meeting held here it is estimated that
| fully $50 900 was cleared by the asso-
| citation, which at that time was COM
posed Of Philadelphians. controlled by
william Thompson, know as Duke OF
| Gloucester" The rival associations
have fought each other, and they had
to contend with the strike of the horse
men, who demanded larger purses.
About a year ago the citizens of Ce-
ell county started a crusade against
the races, and large public gatherins
was held in the Elkton Presbyterian
Church. at which the AntilRace TRACK
| League was started. Later the repre-
sentatives Of both political parties
| pledged themselves to a repeal OF the
law, and this pledge has been faithfully
carried out.
Now that the outlaw races have
been banished from Cecil county, the
question arises, where will they next
locate? Baltimore county is sched-
uled to receive the runners, and 1t Is
likely that the GOO horses stabbed In
this county will leave for that county
But one thing can be said OF the rae

terfeit PROJECTIONS, cheap mounting
and cheaper performers, the fine old
play OF Uncle Toms Cabin" has of late
