Automobiles Will Race
OF Belmont Track

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-The blight
which has fallen upon horse racing as
the result of the passing of the anti
racetrack betting law is expected to
work a transformation in the character
and use of the largest. and most mod
ern of the tracks in the Metropolitan
district-Belmont park-which, accord
ing to current reports, is to be devoted
in the future to automobile racing and
converted into a motor drive.
The fact that the Belmont track is
two miles around is cited as offering an
Irresistible argument in its favor with
promoters of automobile racing. In the
"a hour racing held at Brighton beach
track the drivers had to make four
they would have to slow down for the
turns only four times in every two
miles. This would undoubtedly result
in new speed records being established.
