The following communication from
Mr.. c. H. John deserves the approval
of lovers of horse racing, and contains
many valuable suggestions:
In Sundays Morning News l saw
that Mr.. Hull of the Savannah Racing
Association has secured the services of
the Judge and starter at present en-
gagged in Atlanta, and also has the
promise of the Iorsemen now there to
ship all their horses to take part at
the Savannah meeting. Now is the
chance for the citizens of Savannah
to show their love for the sport of
kings. If they do, and the racing is
conducted honestly, of which am GER
tain, as 1 am personally acquainted
with several of the officials and great
many of the horsemen that will be
here, Savannah will become the win
ter resort of the lovers of the sport
from the Northern states. The climate
is especially adapted in winter for the
race horse; there is very little rain;
the track can be used daily all win
ter and there is no city South that
possesses a track to compare with
II. take Tor instance new OTledilS
Last winter there were only about
twenty days when the track was dry,
while in Savannah we had but few
days all winter when we could not
race.
Around New York and Brooklyn this
winter there will be at least $500 in
winter quarters eating their heads off
and from 500 to 1000 of these would
be shipped here If their owners thought
they could earn their feed bills. The
expense of shipping would ~be small,
as they could be shipped directly from
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
by water. No other Southern city has
such advantages. To ship to New Or
leans rs expensive from New York, un-
less a man is we'll off financially, and
has a high class stable of race horses
he cannot see his way through.
There is another reason why racing
would benefit this city and surround
ing country In the winter time North
we hear very little of Savannah unless
1t is in business circles, but we do hear
about Jacksonville, Tampa and st. Au-
gustine and Palm Beach. Now, if
there is racing here with a good class

The buildings, which are all OF hard
pressed brick, surround parade ground
1000x2, 900 feet and are as level as a
floor. In front of this and between it
and the public road are the doubie-faced
houses for the commissioned officers. A
macadamized drive passes between the
houses and the parade ground and cir
cles around the ground. Standing on the
majors porch, one sees to his left the
imposing Administration Building, and
by its side the guardhouse, which by it's
grated windows announces that disobe-
dience to army discipline will not go un-
punished. Back of these are the quar-
tiers of the non-commissioned officers and
the hospital. Across the parade ground
are the barracks to quarter 1920 men
and to their rear stables for as many
horses. On to their right is the regi-
ment's bakery and stewards houses. To
the right of the parade ground is moth

spot is located within one of the richest
fruit growing sections of the State and
