THEIR COMMENTS AS TO FACING AFFAI

THEIR COMMENTS AS TO RACING AFFAIRS.
Everybody who is in any manner associated with
breeding racing fair associations should not
hesitate in beginning active crusade against
the abomination that is to be inflicted on the public
at Newtown disguised a forty days fair The
fact that there will be racing by day and racing
by electric light at night should condemn the arar
at once. Moreover. II is evident that the racing
laws as vel as other laws are to be violated ana
deaed by the projectors Of the alleged fair. 1t is
generally believed that certain dissatisfied gamblers
are behind the scheme. Il IS probable that the au-
thorties in the neighborhood OF the proposed fair
grounds will make attempt at a bluf TO stop
the proceedings.
