New Haven Road "GanSett Flyer"
 For Race Fans

Pawtucket. R. T., April 20.-Be- cause of a genuine demand for such service the New Haven railroad an- nounced this afternoon that spec ial "Gansett Flyer" will bring New York and Connecticut racing fans to Narragansett park on each we'd nesday and Saturday during the first meeting which opens here Sat urday, May 2nd and runs until May g. ,,,
 The "Gansett Flyer" will make the trip from New York to the Mar ragansett park grandstand m the remarkable time of four hours. 4t will make one stop in Connecticut, at New Haven, a transfer point easily accessible from Waterbury, Bridgeport, Norwalk and Meriden.
 Fair Price
 Both the railroad and the track are bending every effort to make the new racing special a success. The railroad has installed excep- tionally low round trip rates, 8 from New York and $3.50 from New Haven. To assure all the comforts desired by the travellers, the road has provided that the train will in- clude a dining car and parlor cars as we'll as coaches. The train will leave New York on Wednesday and Saturday mornings at 8:45, will leave New Haven at 1O:20 and reach Narragansett at 12:45, in ample time for the fans to dine, play the daily double and enjoy the entire days race program.
 The train will leave the track im- mediately after racing-the last race should be over at 5:15-and will be back in New York in just foui hours.
 Combination
 Two forms of tickets will be or sale at the Grand Central station in New York and at New Haven One provides for transportation alone while the other includes ar admission ticket to the track. An unusual feature of the traiT service this year is the fact tha from the time the racing fan ar rives in the railroad station unti he returns he will be protected iron , the weather. Work is being rushed } on the costly covered ramp at thu track which runs from the trail stop to the huge grandstand. Thi provides absolute protection to th' racing enthusiasts from tnclemen

Hurdling legal obstacles with
his old movie agility, Douglas
Fairbanks, ST.. today married Syl-
via Ashley, former British actress
and divorced wife of Lord Ashley.
Delayed for several days be-
cause Doug and the former Lady
Ashley forgot to bring their di-

their new marriage venture started
off inauspiciously with a minor
automobile accident.
AS she sped to the office of
the mayor to avoid being late, the
brides roadster collided with a
taxicab. Neither car suffered
more than the loss of a little
paint, but some of those in the
crowd of curious that gathered
jokingly remarked that it was a
bad omen"
Ambassador Jesse Isidore Strauss
of the United States acted as wit
ness for Fairbanks, and Mrs.
