The bill which passed the Legislature recently reduced the number of racing days in Baltimore County from seventyfive to seventy This will cause a curtailment of four days from the Maryland Jockey

stables around New York that can be counted on to race this spring where in the old days there were hundreds hundredsThere There havo been 200 horses at Bcnning Of these nearly fifty are in William Garths stable Most of them are in fair form and will be ready for early racing The track at Bcnning has been deep and heavy end no fast moves have been possible over it but the trainers generally have given their charges a thorough course of s lpw work and the horses only need a few sharp moves on a good track to put them in racing condition conditionThis This week jwrt of the Beimiug contingent
