LAUREL, Md, September 2S.-Rain
has interfered but little with the
progress toward getting things in
readiness for the ushering in of the
fail meeting of the Maryland State Fair
Association here next Tuesday evening.
The heavy downpour served to bring
"a halt to the proceedings on the steeple-
chase course. and while it appears to
be rather unfinished, Manager Brown
announced this morning that it would
be o. X. for the running of a jump
ing race on the opening day.
During the rainy spell number of
improvements have been made on the
grandstand, the latest being the con-
struction of what will be known as
the clubhouse. which will be at the
disposal OF the members. A section
of the grandstand has also been divided
off for the benefit of the members, and
the innovation will undoubtedly be
popular move on the part of Man
ager Brown, who is ever alert to make

and quality of the fencers that will be
in attendance their appetites for the
sport will be thoroughly satisfied.
With the opening only. few days
off interest is now at fever heat, and
all of those that pay any attention to
racing predict that Maryland will wit
ness it's greatest meeting. despite the
fact that some notable sessions of the
sport of kings have been held in this
good old state.
The meeting promises to be a big
boom for the sport. and Pimlico is
bound to profit through it,
The event will bring to Maryland not
only a larger number of thoroughbreds
but a higher grade than ordinarily. Pim-
lico will naturally get many of these
hArses that would not have been shipped
this way for the Hilltop meeting alone
Although there will be conflict Of one
day between the local track and Pimlico
1t will in no way hurt the attendance at
Baltimore. There will be no betting
