behavior today will be more docile and
satisfactory

ted to the park free. and % cents ad.
mission charged gentlemen. The
starter, timer and judges will be ap.
pointed at the track
| While the management has many de-.
tails to perfect. it is suggested that for
the benefit of the graudstand audience
some arrangement be made to an.
nounce the scratches, starters, change
of drivers and other details which, if
properly made known, will win the ia
vor of the spectators and enhance the
| success of the meetings
