RACECOURSE IN SYDNEY TO BE CAMOUFLAGED FOR PAPAL MASSES.—Randwick Racecourse will lose Its identity during the Pope’s visit to Sydney from November 30 to December 3. Two Papal Masses are to be celebrated at Randwick, and all things that clearly identify the ground as a racecourse, such as the bookmakers’ betting stands and the totalisator stands, will be removed or camouflaged. This photograph shows horses leaving the saddling enclosure. At the right is the new five-storey grandstand. Randwick Racecourse is the only arena in Sydney large enough to accommodate the 250,000 persons who are expected to attend each of the Masses.
