| THE TRACK.
| Since the close OF the fall meeting the aSsO-
| citation have made number OF changes
I The alterations most noticeable are, among
| IN
| feet and the lengthenlng OF all the turns,
! whereby horses can 20 abreast, and, in
I starting, straight track is afforded for
| distance of 80 yards after crossing the score.
| thereby making very decided improve
/ ment, as heretofore the turn at the starting
point has generally had the effect of causing
/ the horses 70 break, rendering il somewhat
! difficult toget them well of together.
