RECORD BREAKING
CROWD AT PIMLICO
Washington, Philadelphia, and New York Well Repre-
sented at Baltimore Races-Amateur Cup
Features Afternoons Card.

BALTIMORE. May 12.-Another rec
ord-breaking crowd overran Pimlico
yesterday and filled every crevice and
!, corner. The local element. of course.
made up the great body of attendance,
but there was a very noticeable con-
tingent OF outsiders from Washington,
Philadelphia and New York
Among the distinguished guests who
saw the races were August Belmont,
president Of the Jockey Club, with
Mrs. Belmont. 1t was a very pleasant
afternoon for the Belmont family mas
much as the scarlet and maroon was
carried to victory in two events, one
of them the Nursery, which tho presI-
dent of the Jockey Club had set his
heart on winning.
The afternoons card was literally
featured with the Amateur Cup. the
Crickmore Steeplechase and the Pim-
lico Nursery. The latter event aroused
as much interest as any other on the
program, as 1t was intended to bring
together the best youngsters at the
| track.
Lace, the feet filly which won the
| Clabaugh. was the peoples choice and
| was made a warm favorite in the bet
| ting, but unfortunately the clever
Fatherlcss Ally had bucked since her
last race and was so sore that she was
unable to extend herself In the race.
Easy for Rock View.
The running of the Nursery was a
| mere romp for Rock View, the Belmont
| entry, which burst off in front at the
rise of the barrier and making a show
of his field came home alone.
FSk
escaped the notice of the checkers and
! he went to the post literally supported
by some of the keenest horsemen at the
track. Just now the public is wonder
ing II Calgary is good enough to take
the measure OF the Nursery winner.
Alfred Noble made good in the Crick-
more Memorial Steeplechase, downing
such good ones as st. Abe. The Prophet
and Algie.
| The Garry Hermann gelding proba-
bly, has more foot than any other horse
now going over the sticks, but he is not
so sure n fencer as some of the other
stars. A race that would bring The
Welkin and Alfred Noble together
would make a mighty interesting con-
| test.
In the race yesterday Alfred Noble
was held in behind the pace until the
last jump, where he came away. to win
handlly from St. Abe, which had made
| the running throughout
| The disappointment of the race was
| Algie. This old fellow showed none of
! his old-time speed and II is just possible
that he has seen his best days.
Some Jumper.
St. Abe Is some jumper just now and
is probably the best of the second
! flight of fencers that have shown this
season. TIe should prove a mighty use

COUNTY FAIR.
Near Half the Necessary Stock
Subscribed.

A meeting OF those interested in
the County Fair was held at the
Court House Monday afternoon,
representatives from leading Sec
tions Of the county being present.
From reports made, approximately
half OF the $4,000 proposed capital
stock has already been subscribed,
and special committee was APP
pointed to distribute the stock
throughout the county as widely as
possible, There seems 10 be little
doubt as to the success of the enter
prise, but those who are pushing the
matter are desirous OF spreading the
interest amongst the farmers, stock
men and fruit men Of the county and
reason that this will best be accom-
plished by placing the organization
largely in the hands of the farmers
themselves,
There is no time TO waste if we are
TO have a fair this fall Everyone
must act promptly No definite
steps will be taken until the stock is
sold, and then the organization will
take charge Of the policy and detail
Of the work.
Harrison is ready to do anything
and everything necessary for the
success Of the enterprise, but feels
that the best results would be ac-
complishcd by having the fair con-
Quoted by the class most interested.
These sales are awarded to the
highest bidder who makes partial
payments in advance of cutting.
thus obyiating large initial invest
ments in the purchase of stumpage.
Twenty-Five per cent of the re-
ccipts Of these sales go TO the state
for the support Of the schools and
roads in the counties in which the
forest lies, Last year $4,000 was
paid 20 the state in this way.
