More horses will be on the ground for Ihe coming fall meeting of the Maryland Jockey Club at Pimlico than ever attended a meeting in Baltimore.

There are many available stalls to be had, however, as in the immediate vicinity of Pimlico are three or four trolling tracks at which owners of runners may put up their thoroughbreds.

With the meeting of the United Hunts so closely preceding the Pimlico meeting and the Bennings meeting to follow immediately afterward, the owners of steeplechasers are counting on more than a mouths continuous racing for their horses, and the jumping division ought to go into wiuler quarters with good-sized bankrolls.

Dion Kerr will bring bis stable over to race through the meeting and will be up on his horses whenever possible. Courtlaud Sinilh will also raw llis stable of "leppers," which includes that good horse Gohltleur. As usual. Mr. Smith will ride occasionally, though he will depend mostly on his trainer, Silas Veitch. Naturally, the chance to see the amateurs ride will attract large crowds of society folk.
