The closing week of the Genera
Assembly of Maryland is fast nearing
an end. To say it has been a busy
week is putting the matter in the eas
lest way possible. While it is true
that most of the work OF the session
las been completed it is equally tru.
that the usual rush at the close will
be experienced. 1t seems utterly i'm
possible to keep the flies so as tt
avoid rush of work during the clos
ing hours.
Much work has been accomplished
this week. 1t would take more time
than we have at our command to give
The number of local measures, those
laws which apply to the ditferen!
counties of the state, and other nat,
ters of minor Importance which have
ceen transacted during the, past few
days. There are few, however, of
general interest, that might be of in
terest to our readers.
One of the bills around which seem
ed to centre the greatest interest was
he Hall Anti -Racetrack Betting biz
This bill had previously passed the
House by an overwhelming majority
1t came up for action on the door of
the Senate on Tuesday night, and was
beaten by substituting for it, by a
vote of Is to II and after hours of
debate, the bill of President William
/. Norris. The bill was then passed to
third reading and is expected to be f.
nally passed at any moment. The
Norris measure leaves the Burke Rae
ing Commission law practically in
tact, reduces the number of racing
days to 72. increases the daily license
fee and makes new provisions for tn
appointment of race officials. 1t also
carries with it liberal appropriation
for the county fairs of the State This
action of the Senate came as a dis
tinct surprise to those who have been
working at Annapolis for the Hal
bill. An amusing feature of the vote
was when Senator Byrn, of Dorches-
ter, pilot of the Hall bill in the Sen
ate, asked that the sergeant-at-arms
be sent for Mr.. Mccullough, and VIM
Silver, president of the Maryland An.
ll-Racetrack Gambling Association
an from the chamber to bring Mr.
Mccullough back. Then Mr.. McCul.
lough voted to kill the Hall bill. I'm.
mediately after the bill passes the
Senate on its third reading it will be
sent back to the House for concur
renee in the Norris amendment. Just
what its fate will be when it agaii
reaches the House is uncertain. 1t il
certain, however that either the Burke
bill or the Norris Bill will regulate
the racing in Maryland for the next
two years. OF the two it would sure
ly seem that the Norris Bill would be
preferable.
