Special Meeting Of the Road Drivers As
ISOLATION Called to Consider Cup Races.

A special meeting Of the Road Drivers As
ISOLATION is 10 be held at Durando's road house
In Dyckman street, near the Speedway next
Saturday afternoon at 3 O'Clock. The matter OF
holding a series Of cup races for road horses
driven by amateurs will be discussed and
definite action may be taken. Several mem-
bers OF the organization are opposed TO such
races, maintaining that no suitable track IS
available, that few horses would start. and
that formal racing would introduce an
element OF semi-professionalism not condu-
Owe to the welfare of the association. Those
who favor cup races maintain thar formal con-
tests OF this character on "a measured track with
starter and judges would aford a better test Of
speed and endurance than can be obtained by
means Of informal brushes on the Speed
way. They point TO the matlnees. Of the CIeve-
land, Pittsburg and Boston driving clubs as
proof that such races can be-, successfully held
and they favor the Parkway half-mile track in
Brooklyn as the place for holding the races in
case the Empire City course cannot be secured
The lopg-talked-of ProJeGt OF building a new;
the association is likewise to be considered at
Saturdays meeting.
