Pagan 2:2f4 and other well known Speedway trot-
ters has suggested a much needed innovation for
the accommodation OF road riders In a letter Ia
THE Trotter and PAGER he proposes that a signal
be hOisted daily at Seventh-ave- and One-hundred-
and-tenth-st Indicating the condition OF the Speed
way. Every one who drives the road has ex-
perienced the disappointment Of driving all the
way from Central Park 20 the speeding ground
north of washington Bridge. a distance OF nearly
five miles. over sharp stones a part or the wav
only to find a stretch OF mud and a long ride for
nothing on the other hand. the horsemen often
confine their drives TO Central Park under the be-
lief that the Speedway must be muddy or rough
only 10 learn when too late that the going was
well nigh perfect. The Speedway is a frsakish
piece Of footing, which Is often good in bad
weather as it is bad in good weather, and an the
men who drive trOtters have learned to look for
disappointments and surprises there. Mr.. Alex
andres plan meets the approval Of all hOrsemen
who drive on the Speedway He proposes thar the
police stationed at the entrance to Central Park
learn by telephone the condition Of the Speedway
and hoist the signals accordingly after the fashion
of the flags denOting the condition OF the ice on
the lakes and ponds in the Park throughout the
skating season
