Delaware Park, which opens its
thirty day race meeting today, Fri
day, May 29, will have adequate
special train service via Pennsyl-

racegoer. Expressed in the simplest
terms, all northbound race specials
from Washington, and intermediate
points, will be via the B. and o. And
all southbound race specials from
Philadelphia, and intermediate
points, will be via Pennsylvania.
Washington officials, as well as
officers of the railroads are coop
Grating to provide all the facilities
possible. The response that already
has been heard from the racing fra
ternity is that no one minds little
doubling up, and that the sports
loving public is glad to endure dis
location to further the war effort.
officials are endeavoring to make
any inconvenience to civilian traf-
fic and pursuits as slight as poss-
ible, and to this end they have ap-
proved preparations which will en-
able Delaware Park racegoers to
get to and from their homes
and conveniently.
