the Speedway opened Not only were many
drivers good bad and indifferent horses out. but
the walks on each side of the drive filled with
pedestrians. The roadway was in excellent condi-

make this safe. The Speedway policemen think
they have been unjusty criticised OF late In rela-

Some time ago Assemblyman driving a cart
was stopped at the entrance. and he took the
trouble to drive TO the Thirtythird precinct sta
ton and get permission OF the captain to drive on
the Speedway. Since then all T carts have been
permitted to so through.
Another thing which causes the police much
trouble is the infraction by the horsemen OF the
rules which supposed to govern the Speedway
One Of the rules which is most frequently broken
Is that which says that drivers shall not turn their
horses around in the middle OF the roadway, but
