down TO the required smoothness. Mr.
Joseph, speaking of the course to rep

finish is decided improvement over
other race tracks. 1t is quite hard but
not too smooth-just rough enough TO
prevent the wheel from slipping. The
banks and curves are all the racing men
could desire and many are the express

Around the top of the track is being laid
an inch pipe for the purpose of sprinkllng
