Rep. Dole moved as an amend

the condition that the unsightly
board fence around the track be
removed. They come here and ask
for an appropriation, and then do
not let the people see the races with
out paying.
Rep. Brown said that the Park
Association and the Jockey Club
were entirely separate. The Asso-
citation looks after the trees and
roads, and every cent appropriated
lad been spent in that direction,
and not on the track. The Jockey
Club had made the improvements on
he track and had not used one cent
IF the Associations money.
Rep. Richardson was in favor of
he appropriation. 1t had always
'een spent in identifying the Park.
All the wickedness incidental to
'acing and betting was shut out by
his board fence.
Noble Cleghorn said that if there
vas no Park, there would have to
De road. The roads out there are
n good condition, and in few
years the Park will be one of the
landsomest places on the island.
The Park and track are separate.
Rep. Dole said it was an imposi-
ion on poor man to put up that
BOARD fence, and prevent him from
seeing horse race. All the great
ace courses in England are open to
he public. Sometimes 100000
people witness the Derby race. If
fence were put up round that
why those 100, 900 people
