 CTS approached. But A. R. Pardington. 1 vice president and general manager of the | motor parkway, spoke of the race only as a success. He regretted, of course. the deaths and accidents, but was inclined to attribute them mainly to the careless
 ness of spectators. Expressions of sor-
 row and regrets were heard on all sides and many spectators were inclined to
 blame what they styled inadequate po- Icing of the course but official con- demnation was lacking.
 Privilege to hold the race is granted
 by the board of supervisors of Nassau

 steps would be taken to prohibit a repe- tition of todays accidents, no announce ment was made officially of the board attitude.
 Acting Mayor John P Mitchell said to-
 night:

 conditions 1t is menace. These races
 should be restricted because the danger involved is too great. I do not mean
 that all automobile races should be
 stopped, but when the question of inado- quate protection arises, and when the lives of contestants are endangered, something should be done Louis Chevrolet announced tonight that he will never race again Although he will recover from the injuries. he said 'n the hospital that he had made up his mind to quit taking chances
