The dedication of the new stable was held on July 25, with 2,500 spectators present to see the matinee racing. It was a perfect day for the occasion, and the members were hos- pitably entertained by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the club serving a sumptuous luncheon in the clubhouse.

A good point, too, was giving so much space on the inside of the stable, that in bad weather the horses could
