FINE PIMLICO CLUBHOUSE COMPLETED. Baltimore, Md., October 30. An important social side will mark the autumn meeting of tin? Maryland Jockey Club at Pimlico, November 1 to 13. The beautiful new members club building has been completed. This clubhouse takes the place of the one which formerly stood between the grandstand and the paddock. All upstairs is for the ladies and they can walk directly from their quarters to the main floor of the grandstand without climbing any stairs. The ladies also have a tea room and reception room. The house is supplied with a kitchen and upstairs and downstairs pantries. One of the new features of Pimlico is the new sot of eighth-mile posts all around the track. They are tall obelisk-like structures, seventeen feet tall, surmounted by gilt balls two feet in diameter. Between each pair of these, marking each sixteenth of a mile, are tall posts with round targets at a convenient height.
