Mr.. Taylor Trouble at Pimlico.-The Bal
timore News says: 1.-THE running of the steeple-
chase for maiden hunters yesterday kicked up
a pretty muss and resulted in the suspension
of Bobby" Taylor by the stewards for bis ride
on Tarpon. At the start of the race Tarpon
was rank and full of running. Mr.. Taylor
tried to place him and pulled him in behind
Guardian, the pace.maker. To keep him there
Bobby had to pull and yank him, at times
bracing back in the stirrups and pulling for
dear life That was not very edifying spec
tacle for the public which had its money on
Tarpon. However, everybody kept saying:
Wait until Bob lets him down he will gal
lop away them Mr.. Taylor kept up his pace
until onto the fiat, and then he gave Tarpon
his head and called on. As usually happens
in such cases, the choking pace had taken all
the life out of Tarpon and he could not respond
leaving Guardian to come home winner, to
everybody's intense disgust. The stewards
consulted over the ride and concluded to
suspend Mr.. Taylor and refer his case to the
stewards of the National Hunt and Steeple-
chase Association, which only recently granted
him a license to ride. Nobody believes that
Bobby Taylor was trying to do anything
wrong. 1t was just case of bad judgment.
He thought he could place his horse in behind
through the field and come away on the fiat,
but Tarpon simply died under the pull. 1t is
to be hoped that the stewards will take no Sc
we're action. The Baltimore public likes to see
Mr.. Taylor ride. If he makes mistake once
in while, that is only what everybody does"
An Important Industry Initiated.-Un-
der this head the Belair Agis of last week
said Mr.. W. T. Conway has opened valu-
able stone quarry at Loeb Raven, directly
alongside of the NJ. and P. Railroad. He has
established steam drills and the daily output is
already large and will be much larger in the
near future. The rock is gneiss, which is
closely allied to granite, shows handsome
face, can be gotten out in blocks of almost any
size and is finding ready market in Balti-
more al remunerative prices. Because of the
economy incident to its production it will
Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad, both
for building purposes and crushed stone, the
latter of which it has been impossible to Sc
cure heretofore except at excessive prices
This is the only quarry worked between Balti-
more and the Rocks of Deer Creek. The rail
road is also about to put in an important
switch connection near this point, extending
across the valley into meadow lately belong
ing to the William Gilmor estate, where mar
BILE has been discovered of about the same
character as that of the Beaver Dam Quarries.
This will be marketed on large scale by
corporation recently organized for the purpose.
Quite freak of nature presents itself at this
point, where marble comes to the surface on
one side of valley and gneiss rock of an en-
tirely different geological nature on the oppo-
site side, only few hundred yards apart"
