Laurel, Nd, Sept. 2S.-Favored by ideal
weather during the last week gigantic
strides have been made towards the
completion of the improvements on the
racing plant of the Maryland State Fair,
which is to open its October meeting
next Wednesday afternoon. Manager NJ.
J. Winn had been dubious If everything
would be in readiness for the opening as
scheduled, but with the aid of a force
OF 100 men he has made wonderful head
way in his attempt to round the track
into the most attractive condition possible
during the short while he has been in
charge, and his efforts appear to have
received just reward. The work has
been pushed ahead regardless of cost,
and Laurel now appears to have a real
race course. Every building within the
gates Of the track has been painted,
while the fences have been coated with
whitewash. In its new attire of green,
with a white finish. and surrounded by
a profusive collection of plants, the
commodious grandstand presents a pic
turesque appearance. On the whole,
Manager Winn has lived I'D to every
promise in the way of lettering the

Paducah, Ky. Sept. ga new Blue
Grass league, composed of eight of the
best cities of Kentucky, is the vision of
DR.. Frank H. Bassett, of Hopkinsville,
for two years president of the Kitty
League. While the Kitty" is successful,
DR.. Bassett believes that a league COM
posed of kentucky cities, divided into a
Western and an Eastern division, would
be more successful. Dr. Bassett favors
Paducah, Hopkinsville, Henderson, and
Owensboro as the Western clubs, and
possibly Lexington, Frankfort. Maysville,
and some other live town for the Eastern
division.

Northern League Elects President.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept 2S.-The
Northern League on September Is re-
elected President John 4. Burmeister for
three years. The managers voted in IA
vor of allowing the St Paul owners the
privilege of transferring their franchise
to Port Arthur and Fort William. The
Minneapolis owners were given the op-
tion of keeping their club in the Mill
City or transferring it to Fargo, n. Oak.
II is more than probable that the latter
course will be taken. for the Northern
venture proved a fizZIe in the Mill City
as far as the attendance was concerned.
