A big crowd from Baltimore and Washington, combined with a strong contingent from Wilmington and Philadelphia, was on hand, and the accommodations of the plant were tested to their fullest. The mutuels were being tried out for the first time at the track, and they received a rousing patronage, and any doubts the management may have had about their success were dispelled before the afternoon was half over. The receipts of the association from the machines were probably double what they would have been with the Ixioks. — Parole in Baltimore Xews.
