bahdah q Victor.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 1.-THE State Board
of Health at one time to-day ordered the
racetrack at Laurel to close its gates to-
morrow until the present danger from
Spanish influenza was wiped out. This
order came as a surprise TO the racing
officials. as there Is no sickness at the
track. Word to this effect caused the
board to send inspectors to the track.
After carefully investigating the stables
and living quarters the track received a
clear bill OF health and the order to close
was rescinded. The meeting at Laurel
will continue under supervision of the
health authorities.
