IN FINAL ACT
GETAWAY SPECIAL TO LEAVE
ARCADIA TOMORROW
ONLY STRAY DOGS WILL BE LEFT
BEHIND AT CLOSED TRACK
Large Number Of Horsemen Have
Booked Accommodation for Train
to New Racing Plant at
Salt Lake

The last scene in the last act. This
will come tomorrow out at Arcadia
when the big Getaway Special will
pull out for salt Lake, where the Utah
Jockey clubs spring meeting of forty
days Will once again afford the pro-
fessional followers of the turf
breathing spell. At this time 1t looks
like every lingering turtle in town
will dust away on this train for
every accommodation for both man
and horse has been spoken. The Get
away Special will consist of eight
Burton Palace horse cars, two sleep
ers, chair car, a diner and coach.
1t is scheduled to leave the siding at
Santa Anita park about 10 o'clock.
AS 1t winds it's way around the curve
at the north end of the yards there'll
be nothing left behind but a few stray
dogs and goats to remind a visitor to
the paddocks that only a fortnight
previous bustling village of profess
sional horsemen once rendezvoused
there. Hundreds of sports will run
out to Santa Anita purposely to see
off the Getaway Special" The train
will be in charge of Charley" Pike
of the Salt Lake route and Jay David
son of the Utah Jockey club.
Unlike the past Santa Anita meet
ing, no one officially connected with
the Utah Jockey club will be permit
ted to have anything to do with the
betting end of the coming meeting in
the Utah metropolis. That George
Roses activities as a bookmaker and
a stockholder in the Arcadia property
hurt the reputation and prestige of the
sport in California there can be no
doubt. At Salt Lake the ring will he
absolutely open and the association
will not have on a book as reported
This Is a move in the right direction
Manager w. w. Finn in now at Salt
