talked freely to-day on the subject OF
regulation and kite-shaped tracks. He
does not agree with the few who
think Il Is only fancied difference between
the kite and the regulation tracks. nor with
tho larger number Of persons who think the
kite track will suporsede the regulation track.
Doble thinks the straightaway track will
never be used. even for getting records
THE difference between the kite-shaped
and regulation track" said Mr.. Doble. is that
in the former there is but one turn. about b
third Of mile. while on the regulation track
there are two turns Of quarter Of mile
each. making in all o half mile Nowtrauks
are measured for the mile three feet from the
pole. but horse never travels closer to
the pole than i've feet II IL plain
to see. therefore. that the horse on q
kite track. making the turn Of sthird Of mile
five feet from the pole. has q decided advan-
tage over the horse travelling half mile on the
turns Of regular track.
"The kite track will not come into general
use for several reasons" continued Doble.
" First Of all. persons who make racing possi-
