1t is reported that the followers
of ssoutlawn racing will soon find
plenty of that particular kind of

grandstand are now said to be
under course of construction at
Chesapeake Beach, which is 80
miles from Washington, d. c.,
and near Annapolis and Baltimore,
which places will be relied upon
for support. As far as can be
learned, wealthy Washington cap
italists are behind the enterprise,
which is to be managed by the
Waugh brothers of Gloucester.
Racing it is said, will begin there
on December 8, and will continue
indefinitely, as a charter permitting
pool selling has been secured from
the Maryland authorities for a
period of ten years. Purses rang
ing from $3.50 to 1900 will be hung
up daily, so as to insure good rae
ing, which, it is said, will be after
the style now conducted by the
independent Western tracks. Many
horsemen in and about Gloucester
are preparing to ship their strings
there.-Whig.
