The opening day suffered a severe handicap when the printing press on wheels that I was to furnish the daily programs broke , down and it was not until late in the afternoon that any could be obtained.

This was only a makeshift and the lack of programs was a severe handicap for the program is of especial importance on a mutuel track.
