Colonel Hough and "Oriole''
writes as follows to the Baltimore San:
"Col. Robert Hough, of Baltimore, has been
| engaged to start the horses at the Maryland
State Fair to be held at Timonium 90 miles
| from Baltimore) on September ID, 4th, 9th,
9Th and 9TH. The attendance at Timonium, in
probably not exceeded anywhere. as the fair
| grounds are located in the heart of the famous
| Green Spring Valley, the home of cultured
| and refined community, who have made 1t a
| fad to ride and drive to the fair, augmented by
| splendid train service of the Pennsylvania
| Railroad on the Northern Central railway.
ut is no unusual sight to see IL or 20 cars
unloading their human freight at the fair
grounds entrance every few moments OF the
afternoon as train after train arrives from
Baltimore. As the exhibition is always given
| the first week in September, when the weather
| is at its best for outdoor sports, the sight OF
| these thousands of well.dressed people is one
| to be remembered.
| 1.-The horse is the attraction, next to the wo.
| men, and harness races, running races, steeple'
/ chasing and hurdle races make up famous
scene, to say nothing of the horse show, which
is held in the inner field at the same time
| Colonel Hough has acted as starting judge fol-
the past fourteen years consecutively."
