Still More Suburban Development.-The
tract of land formerly known as North Roland
Park, which was purchased lately by interests
represented by Mr.. Telfair w. Marriott, is to be
developed at once and will be known in future
as Roland Avenue Heights. 1t lies between
Roland avenue and the Maryland and Pennsyl-
yania Railroad, Immediately south OF Nor
mandy Heights and is northeast of the most
recent development in Roland Park. There
are about 20 acres in the tract.
A feature of the development is the probable
location of the Country School for Boys on the
corner of Belvidere and Roland avenues, for
which about 20 acres may be used. The deal
for the school has not been closed, but negotia-
tions have been opened with MT. Marriott with
a view to locating there, as 1t is considered an
especially desirable site for this purpose.
The tract has been laid out in roadways by a
landscape engineer and the lots will all be
about so feet frontage by 100 and DO feet deep.
Sewerage facilities are at hand as well as water
and gas. A number of the lots will face to-

The Game Old Horse Not in 1t This Time.
Landslide, the game old hunter of Mr.. Red
mond G. Stewart, has gone lame and will not
be able to start in the Pink Coat Steeplechase
at the Pimlico meeting OF the United Hunts on
August 18th to 10Th, inclusive. This is great
blow to his owner as we'll as to the hunting set
in general, as it was hoped he would win either
the three mile steeplechase or the Hunt Team
preliminary on the first day at two miles on
the fiat.
Landslide won the four-mile race at Pimilico
last spring, defeating crack field and showed
himself game and clever thoroughbred. He
has been turned out and it is doubtful II he
will start again, although there is bare chance
of nursing him back to hunting form.
