ing directly to the grounds need not
unload one to procure tickets, and
furthermore, they should be on sale
up town' more- liberally.
Other lessons learned yesterday in
clude numerous hints here and there
which the management has taken
keenly to heart and when the big
races occur there will be extremely
little to detract from the events, and
comfort of patrons is to be the up
permost aim of all concerned. Start
ers, scorers, announcers, Red Cross
and all the many appurtenances re
quired to stage a big event like the
one proposed, each got his cue to bet
ter his department
The fact that the racer is visible
every minute about the tremendous
oval, and that thore is a place to sit
down were outstanding features. Af
ter all is said and done there remains
not a word of criticism at the show
today other than the transportation
end which is the subject of much dis
cussion, but a feasible and satisfac
tory solution will be worked out.
There remains comparatively little to
do now except these details and they
will get attention.
Speed 'Em Up fever is running
loose and for two weeks the inhabi
tants of these parts will be keyed up
to make a united, cooperative show
that will spell credit to the city and
jiot leave a single bad taste when it
is over.
Some Things Lvnrncd
Among the things that were learned
yesterday is, that merchants and the
Commercial club will be needed to
put on entertainment for the visiting
people during the grni.d prix. Suit
