RITCHIE NOT TO ACT IN TRI-COUNTY FAIR ROW Says Maryland Racing Commission Has Uniform Policy in Refus- ing Betting Permit. Speclal Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, September 26.—Gov. Ritchie will not intervene in the de- cision of the Maryiand Racing Com- misston in refusing to permit betting privileges at the Maryland Tri-County Falr, which will be held at Laurel in November. A protest against the commission’s decision was filed by officers of the fair association, which is sponsored by Heward, Anne Arundel and Prince Goorges Counties. In a letter to the officers of the asso- ciation the governor said, in part: “I understand that it has been the uniform policy of the commission not to extend betting privileges to county falrs besides the two Marlboro and Timonium, which have always had them, and that the Cumberland fair is the only exception the commission has made to this rule, that exception being due to the fact that the several tracks where betting is allowed are far removed from the people of that section of the State.” 26.— QGreece is making plans to rebuild the Parthenosh late Conception Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
