Racing Commission will go to Kentucky and New York to study racing problems as they are handled in those states. The ineinliers of that newly appointed commission are anxious to get a comprehensive and first hand outline of the system by which racing is handled elsewhere, particularly in Kentucky, where it is said to be most practical and up to date. The commission will go to Lexington first, where the Blue Grass State Commission makes its headquarters. There they will make a study of the system employed to keep the commission in touch with the various rate tracks. The Maryland commission is expecting to install a filing system which will give them the same information that is in possession of the jockey clubs. The date for the commissioners departure has not yet been set. Secretary Hayward wrote to Thomas B. Cromwell, secretary of the Kentucky commission, today to arrange the most suitable date for the trip. When the commission has completed its Kentucky trip it will go to New York. ; ,
