Adopt Invisible Hand Stamp at Delaware Park Will Eliminate Clubhouse Pass-Out Check System WILMINGTON, Del., May 21.— In order to expedite the passage of patrons in and put of the clubhouse, Delaware Park is adopting the invisible hand stamp during the coming meeting. The, stamp works in conjunction with fluorescent light placed at each clubhouse extrance. This is expected to eliminate the clubhouse pass-out check system at the park when the track opens May 28 and runs for 32 continuous racing days. Only after a patron has entered the clubhouse and wishes to leave will the back of his hand be stamped with invisible ink. Upon returning the patron merely places his hand under fluorescent light and the ultra violet rays reveal the stamp. The lights to be used are the latest wide angle models and will show the stamp from a distance of five feet. Handling the stamps will be nattily attired coeds from the campus of the University of Delaware, in nearby Newark. Although the system already is in use at Santa Anita, Monmouth Park and Gulf-stream Park, it was decided to adopt it here after a thorough analysis had been made of it for Delaware Park by Spencer J. Drayton, president of the Thoroughbred Eacing Protectice Bureau. Theodore Noss, Delaware Parks director of admissions, is acquainted with the new set-up, as he is attached to the admissions department at Gulfstream.
