1 NARRAGANSETT TURF NOTES | s — $ The city of Pawtucket will build a new four lane highway entrance into Narragan-sett Park, the new million dollar racing plant here and has warned bidders that the work must be completed before August 1. Plans call for a cement road on Beverage Hill Avenue, sixty feet wide, with a twelve foot sidewalk on one side and a bank of shrubs and flowers on the other side. A. H. Tilton, retired Rhode Island horse fancier and trainer, who shipped horses to the King of England and the royal families of Russia, inspected the new race track and declared it the realization of a hope that sportsmen of Newport, Narragansett Pier and Providence had held for fifty years. E. R. Bradley has named his great two-year-old filly, Black Helen, for the Old Colony Handicap, ,000 added, at six furlongs, August 18. Entries received by Ben Holmes indicated that more than eighty percent of the horses now at Rockingham Park will be shipped to Pawtucket before August 1. The 134 betting booths in the grandstand and clubhouse at Narragansett Park were completed Tuesday and work of installing the machinery will start at once. Maurice Peters, Glenn Haines and Howard Hughes, leading apprentice riders at Rockingham Park, will ride here.
