The matinee committee of the as

letter:
Delaware Horse Show Associa-
tion.
Wilmington, Del, May 20. 1914.
The special attention Of our
horse owning members is called
to the fact that the success Of our
matinees during the past years
created the sentiment that de-
velOped into the purchase and Inn
provement of Wawaset Park. Out
Of courtesy to the professional
racing element. the use of the
stables and the track are ex-
tended to trainers at a very nOm-
nal charge, much below the
actual cost 20 the association.
Today there are more trainers
and more horses in training at
( the track than ever before, and
yet, so far this season IL has
been practically impossible to get
sufficient horses entered to make
up a creditable matinee. Your
committee is ready at each
matinee to make a special class
or classes where trainers can
drive the horses they are train
ing, but Il will be necessary for
owners TO instruct their trainers
to make such entries weekly,
each Tuesday, when the commit
tee will endeavor to so arrange
the horses as to make interesting
racing. The success Of our as
sociation demands this. other
wise, your committee feels that
definite and drastic action should
be taken to prevent the education
Of our horses for professional
racing from killing the goose
that laid the golden egg and
destroying the sport Of amateur
racing, which has in the past
placed our city and association
so distinctly in advance of most
others
