thousands of track followers brought
hustle and hustle tonight to sleepy
little Charles Town, center OF East
ern racing interest for the next
three weeks,
Stable facilities were inadequate
for the more than 900 horses sent
to race on the newly surfaced
Charles Town Jockey Club track
during the 18-day meeting starting
Monday AS result, some were
stabbed as far away as Berry,
vile, Va.
Townsfolk, accustomed to ac-
commodating an average crowd of
5000, expected greater numbers
than usual because of the dearth
of racing east of California.
Some $4,000 in improvements
were seen for the first time by
jockeys, writers, officials and rae
ing followers.
The infield hump" which once
made the clubhouse turn a blind
spot, has been removed almost COM
pletely and about half of the new
steeplechase course has been fin
ished.
Work on the infeld was stopped
temporarily today, but President A.
j. Boyle of the Jockey Club said it
will be started again in the spring.
The grading and construction of
the jumping course are to be fn-
ished by early summer.
The loan with which the track
YVES resurfaced this fall failed to
cut the speed of the track, trainers
said.
Boyle predicted the meeting would
be one of the best in the history
of the Charles Town oval. At the
same time he announced that the
club expected to start steeplechas-
ing in the fall of 1941.
The State Racing Commission has
turned down a petition by Charles
Town businessmen for extension of
the meeting to include the holi-
days.

BOWIE, Md. Nov. 30.-A crowd
estimated at $4,000 saw Mrs. Marie

tory in the Bryan and O'Hara Me-
mortal Handicap as the major East

by three lengths, running a mile
and three-sixteenths over dull
track in 2:002s to pay $3.50 for 81.
G. D. Wideners filly, RoSetown,
coupled with Birch Rod, just lasted
to save the place by half length.
The entry ruled favorite at to 5

Birch Rod Flattens Badly.
Birch Rod ran true to his Gus
tom. He has been winning every
other start and today he was due
to lose. He staged what seemed
one of his victorious rallies to reach
second position around the final
bend, only to f1atten out badly in
the stretch and wind up sixth.
Charley Corbett, replacing the sus-
pended Willie Garner on Shot Put,
allowed Shot Put to settle into his
stride before making a move in this
richest event of the meeting, named
after two of the founders of the
Bowie track. However. the son of
Chance Shot moved up earlier than
usual.
With Rosetown setting the pace
and Birch Rod waiting to strike
not too far behind, hackers of the
favored pair felt confident of VIC
tory. But Birch Rod just didn't
have 1t today and his partner found
the route too far.

CLUB ADVOCATES
PLAN FOR CITY
Removal of Ashes, Rub
bish Should Be Under
Municipal Supervision

Advocating municipal supervision
of ash and refuse removal similar
to the garbage removal plan in
Waterbury, members of the Wash
ington Hill Community Club defin-
itely placed themselves on record
last evening as sponors Of the plan.
An appeal will be made to the vari-
Gus community clubs Of the city to
lend their support in an effort to
convince the city fathers that a
well regulated and supervised plan is
needed in Waterbury. No direct ap-
peal will be mace to the board of
aldermen until other neighborhood
clubs have been formally contacted
and a definite plan prepared for
submission.
It was charged by some Of the
members last evening that the pres
ent "hit-or-miss" system here is
decidedly out Of date and leads to
unsanitary conditions in various
sections of the city. Violations of
the public health code respecting
public dumping have also increased
of late, it was pointed out. BY
having a definite supervised plan
some check up could be made of
the men engaged in the work of
removing all ashes and refuse either
under one general contract or on
individual assignment. The expense
item is also to be given some con-
sideration so as to make attractive
to property owners or to tenants
who make arrangement for remov-
ing their own ashes.
The club last evening discussed
the annual memorial exercises in
honor of late Mayor Martin Scully
and all deceased members Of the
club and also for an enthusiastic
celebration of Independence Day.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1940-04-24

The Independent Democratic
party, moving again into Water
bury's political picture, elected
new town committee at a caucus
at Moose hall last night. Joseph De-
Luca was elected temporary chair
man, and it is expected that he will
replace James Hartley as permanent
chairman in the near future. Miss
Ann McDonough was elected re-
corder.
The caucus voted to have the 20
town committeeman chosen last
last night meet within 10 days to
elect IL women, bringing the town
committee personnel to 80.
Changes in party rules and by
laws, to give members a greater
vocie in determining matters of
policy, were discussed. Participa-
ton in the caucus was limited to
those who had signed the original
Independent Democratic petition
for a place on the voting machine
in 1885.
The following were named to the
town committee:
William Ferrari, James Watts,
