The "Daily Double" will be decided by the first and third races and tickets will be sold up to 2 p. m., at which time the windows will be closed. Interlocking with this feature is the train service to the park just announced by the N. Y., N. H. and H. R. R. The "Gansett Special," as usual, will be run in as many sections as demanded by the volume of passengers, the last section leaving South Station, Boston, at 12:45 p. m. daylight saving time, and arriving at the park grandstand at 1:40 p. m. daylight saving time.
