track this afternoon from Washington,
and more are expected today. BY to-
morrow every stall on the grounds viii

many horses at Pimlico 10 take part
in race meeting. Not even in the
good old days when the Baltimore
course was the common battlefield for
the thoroughbreds of the North. South.
East, and West, were so many animals
quartered at the track
The officials of the Maryland Jockey
Club are much gratified at the interest

pect that the fields viii be the largest

suit in good prices and brisk betting.
Approve New Betting Pavilion.
The new betting pavilion which has
been provided just back Of the grand

which was under the grandstand, was
so dark and Cramped that IL made
things uncomfortable both for bettors
and layers. The new one is open on all
sides. which will afford plenty of light
and ventilation.

ing at Benning will De likely TO find it
far from easy to beat the animals that

any horses that have been racing at
Benning or the winter tracks.
