more than five be started each day, with the
track at the time OF starting clear of all
distractions, such as scrapers, or other
horses going for records, etc" The
amended resolution after sharp discussion
was passed.
The track at Danyille. Pa, il a u unique
affair. A person can stand within a few
hundred feet of il and not see it. Danville

hem it in on all sides. The track is located
OH the mountain side, and is reached by a
very fine road which winds around the base,
down n hill at the first turn, and the back
stretch is thirty feet below the judges
stand. The stretches are long and the
turns sharp. Tbs quality of the soil is such
that thres days heavy rain has no effect on
1t. II can be used in an hour after the
heaviest rain storm.
