PRAISE FOR THE STALL GATE. COLUMBUS. Ohio, April 27— Joseph A. L. Murphy today announced that the Hawthorne track woud be at the disposal of anyone - during the rammer, who had a stall gate e with merit to demonstrate. "I am completely sold on the stall gate," he e said. "If the Bradley gate could be refashioned [- so that the overhang could be made e into two parts, hinged in the center, so that it it could be folded back off the track, it would d meet every purpose. We did not have a bad d start out of it at the Fair Grounds last winter. Most of the starts were perfect and d we did not average more than thirty seconds Is at the post. It passed successfully the most it temperamental public in America, which h should be sufficient encomium. A fatal blunder i- will be made in .promotion, however, unless i- horses are taken to the gate and shown n that there is nothing to injure them in it."
