LAUREL, Md. October 10.-At CON
ference yesterday afternoon, in which
the representatives of August Belmont.
"ilfrid Fiau and the Laurel track took
part, it was decided to postpone the spe-

a clause that the race should be run on
fair day and fast track. This would
be impossible tomorrow, the original
