II BELIEVE the kite-shaped trotting track
will prove popular" said well-known
loo? horseman yesterday. "All that the
most ardent admirers of the hte-shaped
track claim is that it is faster, easier TO the
horse, less dangerouse to horse and driver,
and therefore conductive to the highest
rates of speed. The kite-shaped pre-
sents the same advantages over the oval
or regulation track that the regula-
the mile track presents over the half mile
track, viz: Longer stretches, less friction
in turns, and consequently faster To my
mind that is Just the object sought in build
ing mile track. Now, as TO the kite
track coming into public favor, the two
most popular tracks in the country, Onde-
pendence, Iowa, and Stockton, Cal.,) are
this form, which is quite good argument
that they meet public approval,
