The signal for the final starting

Each class or division of the field

gong By a wire.

and keeps 1t pressed SO long as the
horses remain in proper position. He
at once stops pressing the button
when any OF the starters gets out OF
position.
The big gong, which gives the final
starting signal, will not sound unless
every horse in every division is In
proper position for a start and every
starter is pressing the electric button. .
IL is plain from the above informa'

and that many starters. the horses in
each section must be in starting posi-

be pressing the button simultaneously
