Special TO The Washington Herald.
Baltimore, May 26-ThOugh the echo
or the blow that sounded the death knell
of the BennIng race track at Washington
has not died out. complete plans have
been made to build a track to replace
Bennings. to be situated at Academy
Junction, midway between Baltimore and
Washington. and within easy reach Of
Annapolis,
In fact though II was only a few days
ago that Congress passed the law pro-
hibiting betting in the District of Colum-
bia, which means that the flag has fallen
for the last time at the Capital City track,
the blow has been expected for some time,
and certain local and out-of-town men
have been quietly working on the prOpO-
istion OF new course for some months,
The New Era Amusement and Agricul-
tural Company recently Incorporated,
which Is building a large park or pleasure
resort, comprising ninety acres Of land at
Academy Junction. on the new electric
railroad, is back Of the plan.
Completed I'm Fall.
Work on the resort, TO be known as
New Era. has been going on for some
time, and while It viii be open 10 the
public about July /. the track will not be
completed until fall when it is hoped to
pull of the inaugural races.
OF the ninety acres OF land forty and
one-half acres are 20 be set aside for the
track. grand stands. paddock. stables.
&c. The track is 10 he one mile, and Is
20 be wider than PimlicO. The stands are
10 De among the largest and best fitted
out in this section Of the country.
In n few weeks work will be started
on the track, which the company eX-
poets to be the equal Of any IN the cir
cult OF the Jockey club. NJ. II. Warner.
general manager OF the company, Is at
present IN New York. where he went
with the intention OF getting in touch
with the juckey club with the idea of
securing racing dates.
Expects 20 Get Dates.
Every year the Maryland Jockey Club
clamors for longer season. but somehow
does not seem TO get H. With the new
track running, however Baltimore lovers
Of the sport Will have their full share.
Though the sport just slipped under the
wire when attacked In New York some
weeks ago, the danger is not Yet over,
and. perhaps. the fate Of Benning Will
be New York's before long
II such IS the case the new track Is
most likely 10 get all the dates Il asks
for. As II IS, everything seems favor
able for the new track. II is within easy
distance Of Baltimore, Washington, and
Annapolis. not 20 mention the hundreds
Of little towns between the cities
The car fare from Washington TO New
Era on the electric line will probably be
about 30 cents for the round trip.
