And last Saturday the rain came, as it must to al! stecplechascs (as TIME magazine mieht put it) to our own steeplecha.se. And, we mpht add, howl Yes, the Weather Department really turned on something special: cats and dogs, great guns, leveled lances, glittering spears (see Bart* lett)—and no violets. People remark, cd to U3, "Of course, you have rain in. .surance." The trouble is, we didn't have rain towns may stay away in crowds, and in which case we, being insured against rain here, would collect no insurance. It has be^n suggested that we might be able to Insure our "gate’’ of the day by submitting to an under- vvriter a statement of the general ad missions received each year of our history and asking the company to assure us to the extent of an av erage "gate.” To be sure, this would amount to a kind of general inaur. nnce against bad weather, and the premium would probably be very high. It was believed that Lloyds, of London, might write us such insur. ance, but we were advised that the law of North Carolina prohibits such a policy on the ground that it is a gambling contract.

In the sec. ond place, such policies are so writ ten as to req\iirc a certain nvitnbcr of Inehes rainfall at a certain place be tween certain hours plant.” we might argue, was, this year a fair day on March 21st, In. deed, everything depended on that. For seven years we had had perfect, or almast perfect, weather for the race meeting. But as the wheel turns. Now, whether or not our race meet- '‘he zero is bound to come up_or the double zero, as happened last Sat- yrday. And yet we had no way to protect our.selves.
