Norfolk, Va, October 2O.-Turfnen
all over the country are looking to
jamestown 20 take the place in the
racing world made vacant by the with
drawal of Benning. When Bennins
was on the racing map. there the East
ern racing season opened in the spring,
and there 1t closed in tie fall. That Is
what is being done at jamestown this
year, the season having opened there
last spring and will close there shis
fall. and horsenen and other lovers OF
the racing sport seem to be coming TO
tho track for this falls meeting, winch
will begin November /, and continue
until November 10, with probable
extension until the Goth. in far greater
numbers than ever before.
Owners of thoroughbreds, trainers
and the sport-loving people alike, all
recognize that Jamestown enjoys many
advantages as n place for racing. It's
ideal climate in the spring and fall Is
much superior to that of the once
famous race-course near Washington.
Something else in its favor Is Its ac-
feasibility. Jamestown Is reached
hardily by both train and. boat, ana
horses can he shipped there cheaply.
II Is put twenty-five iii1' u1So ~ =, -,
from the heart of the business and resi-
Dental sections of Norfolk. and is also
easily reached from Virginia Beach,
Cape Henry and Old Point Comfort. II
occupies beautiful site on high blun
land, overlooking the waters or Hamp-
ton Roads, one of the finest harborS IN
the world.
The car service to tho track is ample
to handle CT owdy CT any size, delivering
tho people right at the grandstand, but
In addition to this the jamestown
Boulevard. one of the finest public
highways in the State. leads from the
city direct to the track. It is an ideal
route for automobiles and carriages.
One of the sights of q race meeting
ut Jamestown Is the cor tiruous line OF
automobiles which pass over the Boule-
ward in passing to and from the TRACK.

waiting reports from the battleship
Louisiana and the scout cruiser Salem,

No word was received from either
vessel during the day and IL reports
