If the park Is to be made a success.
The Union Driving park track had a rep
utation until a few years ago of being one
of the fastest In the country and It would
not require a large Investment to put it
In the best, of condition for racing. With
the support which it Is believed the project
would receive from Ornana, South Omaha
and this city the local stockholders feel
confident that race meetings could be re

. year gone by.
WHHam Moore of this city, who was one
of the largest stockholders In the old com
pany .which controlled the driving park,
nald yesterday: "With the co-operation and
" assistance of the street railway company
there s no reason why the l'nlon Driving
park could not bo restored to Us former
position among the racing tracks of the
west.. It. of course, would take sonio
" money to restore tho grandstands and
training quarters, but the results, I bo
lleve, would Justify the Investment. If the
proposition to revive tho race meetings
falls through It Is likely that the property
will be sold as one piece or else platted
into lots and thus placed on the market.
