Under the direction of James +. Ross.
resident superintendent of the course.
the grandstand has been lengthened to
500 feet and n roadway three quarters
OF milo in length has been constructed
from the main highway of Hartford
county out TO the shore OF Chesapeake
Bay.
The grandstand is now twice as roomy
as IL was last season and in the earlier
years of Havre de Grace racing. II
boasts of n seating capacity for 1900
persons. In this regard no course OF
the State Of Maryland and few any
where else approach il. The sea ting
capacity of the. Belmont Park stand
the biggest. far and away on the con
tient. is only $500 workmen are en-
gagged now i'm putting n roof on the $50
foot addition
Approaches will have been finished
and benches will have been put in plnc ce
before the first OF April. when gen
eral manager Edward Burke. who has
been serving i'm the stewards stand AZ

A JealOns Wife.

Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to write
to you about how a jealous woman was
cured.
In a little village lived a farmer and
his wife. The farmer was very unhappy.
for his wife was very Jealous of him. If
he went out to milk and was gone rather
long she would go and see if he was in
the barn If he was out of sight for an
hour or so. when he returned he had to
give an account of himself; and then she
would investigate If her lady friends
came over, Mr.. Farmer had to go to bed
until they left. This made the farmer
very unhappy.
So he lay awake thinking of way to
cure his wife. At last he thought of a
plan. Next day he went to his neigh
boris on the sly and borrowed an old hat
and dress. Then went to his cornfield
and made a scarecrow, dressed it up in
the big hat and dress Then as he looked
around to see if anyone was looking he
saw his wife coming from the house.
He threw his arms around the scarecrow
and was making believe kissing her. His
wife seized the axe and hurried to the
cornfield, hurried up to the lady. and gave
her one hit with the axe. which threw
her down. Then she kept beating her
Suddenly she discovered that it was only
a scarecrow. She looked around and saw
her husband laughing as though his side:
would split.
This made her very angry. and evel
since she never cared where he went
! That time had cured her.
