Rotarians hear talk on Greyhound racing program
Rotarians met February 4 at Mt. Anthony Country Club for a program on greyhound racing by Tom Malloy of Green Mountain Race Track. A film on greyhounds traced the breed to ancient Egypt, noted racing starts at nine months, two year olds begin racing, and dogs retire after two to three years before stud use or pet sale. Malloy described rabbit chasing as the lure, though other bait works. A collection was taken to aid Mt. Anthony Union High School debaters headed to the Bicentennial Debate in Williamsburg, Virginia.
