We visited Gulf Stream last
Saturday and was properly i'm
pressed by the improved facili-
ties provided for the Negro track
enthusiasts. Over 800 box seats
have been reserved and il seems
about three times as many gen.
eral admission seats Mutual win
dows, snack bars and rest room
facilities are made available on
both levels. The Saturday crowd
which would have packed the old
stands seemed 20 be just a few
drops in the bucket. The general
winter visitors and figures OF the
entertainment world were much
IN evidence. Glad TO see Mrs. Ted
Moore out again after quite
siege of illness. OF course you
know about the out-of-this-world
double! Do wish that the fence
area not be used as yore for park
me automobiles unless they were
those Of Negroes.
