LAUREL, Oct. 1.-THE last weeks
racing over the new track of the Mary
band State Fair Association at Laurel
was a most successful one. Throughout
the fields were all we'll balanced, bring
ing out plenty OF contention. which
makes 1T better for the public than
having odds-on choices landing the long
end Of the purses at prohibitive odds.
The track at Laurel gives promise Of
being much faster. 1t has been we'll
drained, and the water carries off quick

OF the good tracks claim that the going

them in any way.
