After nearly two years of disruptive road construction that deterred customers and thwarted shop keepers, Main Street in Bel Air is tossing a party and hoping crowds will come. About a half-mile of the street billed as the "heart of Harford County" will be closed one more time tomorrow - not for drilling, digging or paving; but for the Main Event, a celebration marking the end of the nearly $9 million face-lift that began in January last year and closed the road and sidewalks, eliminated parking and brought noise, dust and, at times, tar to the doors of restaurants, office buildings and shops.

Youth was served yesterday at the 98th running of the My Lady's Manor steeplechase in Monkton, but only after race stewards decided that a veteran was a little too far out of line coming toward the finish. Erin Go Bragh, with seasoned rider Paddy Young in the irons, crossed the wire first by no more than a neck, edging Hot Springs, guided by 20-year-old Darren Nagle. But after a film review of the race, the three stewards awarded the victory to Hot Springs, citing a foul by Erin Go Bragh.
