SAVE HORSE
SHOWPARKFOR
SHOW PURPOSE
Syndicate Will Take Over
Property and Make Ex-
tenSiVe improvements
WILL ENLARGE
THE RACE TRACK

It was learned today that a syndi-
cate, headed by General T. Coleman
dupont. Howard r. Wallace and a
number of members of the DUPONT
family, were about to close a deal
whereby the Delaware Horse Show
Association Driving Park, at Ninth
street and Woodlawn avenue, is to be-
come a permanent park. 1t is the
intention of the syndicate to purchase
the entire tract OF land comprising
twenty-five acres and other lands ad-
jacent for park purposes. This will
make the continuance of horse racing,
the holding of the New Castle County
Fair and athletic events there pos
sibility.
The lands of the Horse Show Associ-
alton are owned by Willard Salisbury
of this city and Thomas II. Burwell,
OF Clark county, Virginia, and when
spoken to this morning Mr.. Salisbury,
who acts as agent for the property,
declined to discuss the subject. He
said, however, that negotiations for
the safe OF llt pIbptllg may be Noll-
sumated within a few days.
Il is the intention of those about
to purchase the tract to maintain It
more for city park than anything
else, the idea Of considering it an in
vestment being secondary. It is un-
derstood that the syndicate makes the
purchase primarily to prevent the
land being cut up into building lots.
According to the report current this
morning it was intended by the new
owners to make the tract much larger
and to rebuild the race track there as
well as to enlarge It. The present
buildings on the property will remain
but in time they too, will be improved,
if not rebuilt.
Howard r. Wallace, member and Of
ficer Of the Delaware Horse Show As
sociation, who is interested in the new
syndicate, said that the deal had not
been closed II was originally the
plan of the syndicate, he said, to Sc
cure the Horse Show grounds alone,
but now it was the idea to enlarge the
park This would give Wilmington
and its citizens a monster park where
events and exhibits of all kinds could
be held.
