'GANSEIT RACES
COMMENCE TODAY

The three-heats-a-race system. which
was used at Readville and several other
Grand Circuit meetings, has proved big
disappointment from a sporting stand
point and Is now commonly styled the
'senseless' system. In the Neponset pac-
ing stakes at Boston last week three
horses stood 1-2 in the summary and each
won 5000 OF the purse.
For obvious reasons the limiting of a
race to three heats with results similar
to those Cited above is highly unsatisfac
tory, as at its conclusion three horses
may have an equal claim on the honors
and purse.
At Narragansett Park the program of
the meeting provides for two-in-three
racing exclusively, thus insuring the de-
termining OF an undisputed winner of each
race.
Racing commences at o'clock this af-
ternoon, With a card OF four races. Re
proachless, winner OF the Chamber or
Commerce stakes at Detroit; Alice Point
er, winner OF the $4,000 Buffalo stakes.
