, N j : I ! j I I1 ] i s r ] n n J ? J t H i: Publishers Announcement Beginning with the racing of Monday. July 2, readers of Daily Racing Form will note a marked change in the charts and past performances. Consistent with the publishers policy of ever striving for improvement, the type now being used will be discarded and a larger and clearer face will be adopted. The employment of the new type means increased legibility and attractiveness. It can be read with far less strain on the eye than the old. Four years ago the type in the news columns of Daily Racing Form was materially increased in size. The reaction of the readers was so favorable that the publishers decided to make a similar change in the charts and past performances. The exigencies of the war prevented it then, but the publishers, with the co-operation of the typographic engineers of the Mergenthaler Linotype Company, continued to plan against the time when it would be possible. Now it can be done. After many months of experimentation, the Mergenthaler Linotvpe Company experts devised a new and exclusive type face that is ideally suited to Daily Racing Forms purpose. Compared with the present type, it stands out in striking contrast as the following examples show. Here is the type now being used in the past performances: Nov 1-44Pim land*u5fr%fl 3 5 4117 1 V 1* 1« DodsonD* WfaS 98 Devil Diver 126 "-■ - 3 fo1 H12:m 15e*13° ! 2" 46i4=DodsonD*HcPS50DareMel09MiSsKeenelundll0Aera 6 Octl2-44«Lrl 11 1-8 l:53ft 1-5*4126 1 1« I« 1« DodsonD* H.pS 80 G.MornC118L.Bearer lOSM.Keeueld 8 £ !"H-5d. tH,,Wift 25e*126 1 2h M 122 ArcaroES HcpO 99 Tellmenowll8Cocopet 114M.Keeneld 5 Uuc8-44 Bel ll-42:03%ft 1-204126 1 1 li 2J HaasL AlwS 83 Vienna 114Thread oGold HTDareMe 4 Ji.l.22-44 Wasll-4 2:03%ft 19,4114 1 P 1" V HaasL AlwS 88 O.Kenti.ck U8rta»Tei26Chaafelfa 5 The new type: *Jov 1-447Pim Ift1:56ttft 3-5 *I17 1 H 1* 1« DodsonD WfaS 98 Devil Diver 126 Mecj0go3 Dct21-446Lrl 1 1-4 2:083sm 1-5e*130 1 23 4andJ 4« DodsonD4 HcpS 50 DareMe 109 MissKeeneland 110 Aera 6 0ct12-446Lrl 1 1-8 ISsft 1-5e*126 1 16 15 |9 DodsonD* HcpS 80 S.Morning118L.Bearer 108M Keeneld 8 3ct 2-445Bel 51fwc1:032%ft 2-5e*126 1 lh 1J HJ ArcaroE3 HcpO 99 Tellmenow 118Cocopet 114M Keeneld 5 4ug8-446Bel 1 1-4 2:033,5ft 1-20*126 1 |1 |l| 2| HaasLt AlwS 83 Vienna 114Thread oGold 117DareMe 4 Jly22-44 5Was 1 1-4 2:033/sft 1-9e*114 1 12 13 12 HaasH AlwS 88 D.Kentuck 119Pensive 126ChallngeMe 5 The improvement in the charts will be just as great.
