Some members OF tho Driving Club consider
Ing plan to build haf-m!le trotting track the
line OF the New-York and Putnam railway not far
from Van Cortlandt Park They say that half
mile track convenient OF access IS better than
mile course remote from the city. az It would
answer all purposes OF the Driving Club except for
high-class racing. The introduction OF the pneu-
matte sulky has done away with much OF the dif
ference which formerly existed between mile and
haf-me trotting courses. With rubber tires the
sulky wheels no longer vibrate and slip as to
disturb the balance OF the horse In rounding the
turns. and remarkable speed Is now possible
best record on milo course is 2:Oh. has paced In
204 the half mile track In Boston. while Charles
H. kerner's great little trotter Bush. 209ls has
turned the half mile track at Goshen in 2:llH
Horsemen say that three seconds represents about
the difference In speed possibilities between the
two classes or courses.

thirty years ago.
