N add . word about the Transports
t,on facilities The New-York Central Railroad. in
CONJUNCTION with the club, has completed a number
Of improvements tending to make the journey to
and from the race-course both comfortable and eX"
psditious The road nom Bedford Park TO the course
has been reaAd and double tracked, new turntable,
new platforms, and substantial stone wall have
bean built; the grounds leading nom the platforms
10 the grand stand have been graded, and hand
some covered walk. extending the entire distance
and paved with brick has been constructed Special
trains With reserved for ladies', will be run on
race DAYS at convenient hours and in addition there
viii be run on each day special train Of draEtng-
room, cars to which separate entrance is provided
both at the Grand Central Station and at the race
course.
An important change has been made in the betting
maddox The old-fashioned "pan-mutuel' machines
have been done away WITH and in their places sixteen
American mutual registers have been set up. Mr.
Kirk manager OF the mutuals at Gravesend, MI
Banker and others associated with him went TO
Jerome Park yesterday the Invitation OF Mr. Ross,
the inventor, and Mr.. Keator the general manager
of the company, to give the new
svstem a practical test Secretary Lnvecraft
was present during the trial. The Tribune published
complete description Of the machines several weeks
ago but at that tine they had not been crucially
tested. They sdu in the experimental stage and
Il cannot be said that the trial TO which they were
subjected yesterday entirely satisfactory TO either
Mr. Kirk, Mr. Ross or Secretary Lovecraft. The IN
yentor, however, is skilled electrician, fertile in
resource and It wouh be unfair 20 condemn or even
to cntscse too harshy the system before he has per
feted IT. In all respects but one It is convenient,
accurate and complete and doubt before Thursday
every possible objection to its adoption will DO re-
moved. The existing defect Is lack Of perfect hsr
rpnny between the separate machines and the grand
total register While eight dials indicated in yester-
days trial sale of 455 tickets on field of horses,
the rrapd total machine registered only asa differ
ence Of SIS. Suppose this should happen on rsco
day and short horse which there was an ind
essed sale of twenty five tickets should win. Tho
division O, the winnings would b. made on basis OK
twenty-five INTO 462, and twenty-five ticket holders
would be paid accordingly. But 1t turns out
hat twenty-six tickets were sold on the winner.
and the holder Of the not accounted for presents
/ 30 the cashier. OF course 1t must be paid, and
he club loses accordingly se5 SO.
In q second a1sl the difference was precisely the
,ther way-the grand total machine registering
ale Of T3s, while the eight dIas only 735 could be
counted. with Indicated sale Of twenty-five on the
winner and a division Of the winnings based on
hat number, esch ticket would be worth S14o Al
But only twenty four tickets were sold on the winner
netead Of twenty-five. The club, therefore, is
y14o Il ahead Of the public, and each holder Of
xsnntpS ticket loses IS IS. This would never do |
dr. Ross must find remedy for the defect before
he public are invited 70 invest their money through
liz now SYSTEM.
