Clubhouse Complete.
The clubhouse has been completed and
is conceded to be the finest of its kind
in the country: Every modern improve
ment has been made on the building and
has a clear view of the entire track. 1t
is so situated that the entire track can
be seen and the horses while racing will
be within sight of the eye for the entire
journey.
The pari-mutueIs machines have been
installed and are in readiness to do busi-
ness. There are twenty-six Of these ma
chimes ranging from a s. window to a
so window. All these machines VIII be
used every day, thus avoiding any crowd
ing A like number of cashiers windows
will be used. Directly over the ma
chimes are large silica states extending
the entire distance of the ring" where
Immediately after a finish of a race
the odds will be posted. Directly in front
Of the grand stand is a similar board
measuring in the neighbOrhoOd Of ten
feet long. On this board the winners and
the amount paid by them will be posted
also Immediately after each race.
Trains 20 Gate.
Trains will be run from Washington
TO the Laurel track in twenty minutes
and twenty-three minutes from Balti-
more. Patrons OF the sport will be land
ed directly at the gate and arrangements
have been made with the railroads to run
a number of special trains each day di-
rectly to the track.
A new set of hurdles have been con-
structed, and il is the intention Of the
management to have steeplechase every
day, providing the, entries fill.
There will be sixteen stakes run on
during the meeting and Notwithstanding
the fact that 1t has been announced in
New York that Andrew Miller's good
three-year-old Roamer will be retired
for the season, word comes direct that
Roamer will be a starter in several OF
the stakes OF the S5 stalls within the
track. not a one remains unreserved, and
arrangements have been made with local
people to stable at least 80 horses out
side the track. This vast number OF
horses will exceed those of any other
track in this country. so the public is
sure to see some spirited contests
