Results of the polls, taken at public meetings, were: Robbins—128 for, 28 against. Westmoore—50 for, 104 against. Highfalls—53 for, 195 against. Many' nersons at Highfalls and Westmoore who voted against the plan indicated that it was not the idea of consolidation to which they objected but locating the consolidated school in Robbins. The polls were taken only to gauge opinion. The county board of education can, if it wishes, pro ceed wich the plan. is to take the horses over the course not only in the shortest time but in the best condition, will have judges stationed at eight points along the course. Any horse can be removed from the race if judged too tired. The shortest distance around the course features many jump.s, but it can be covered on a longer route with no jumps at all. Offered to the winner is the Enid Walsh perpetual trophy which has been won twice (the first two years of the race) by Richard Webb. A third win will give him permanent possession. Miss Sandy Glynn was last year’s winner. There is no admission charge and no entry fee. Last year about a thousand spectators were pres ent.
