SUNDAY RACING
PROPOSAL FOR IRELAND. LONDON, June 4. The Sportipg Life writes: "Owing to the parlous plight of racing in Ireland., .the authorities are seriously considering the inauguration of Sunday meetings. Those interested are testing public opinion. They urge that Sunday racing will attract sportsmen from England if ■good sport is provided, and that there will be good attendances. Owing to depleted resources many clubs arc now in severe straits. Meanwhile breeders are asked to race the best horses, instead of selling them to English owners.'
