Is compelled to visit the track in person.
Levy has announced that no telegraph
wires will be allowed inside his track, and
that no reports of the races will be sent
to the afternoon papers. From this the
conclusion is drawn that he is going to
make tight against the poolroomS which
are anxious to secure the desired informa-
ton. 1t is understood that the bookmak-
ers will pay a daily fee Of 800 each for
the privilege of doing business
The purses are comparatively small, but
horsemen appear to be willing to race
nowadays for almost nothing. Mars Cas-
sidy will handle the starting barrier and
Edward Cole will place the horses at the
finish.

runs to the end of the schedule, Pimlico
will open for a fifteen days session,
winding up on May II. Bookmakers who
intend to put up prices at the Maryland
track have received a notice that each
must post $500 in advance to cover bet
ting privileges in the ring for the first
three days.
