When it was not so closed ho was obliged to wait on the course till the booth closed, instead of watching the motor traffic. Mr G. H. Ryan spoke in support of the booth keeping open. Mr Salmon, S.M., asked why the extra quarter-hour was wanted. Mr Ryan replied that it was for the convenience of the racing public. The sergeant said he wanted it closed just for tho sergeant’s own convenience. The Bench decided that the question was one for consideration upon each application.
