Vanderbilt Cup Race Set For Oct 19 If Militia Hired
New York May 17 The Vanderbilt cup race may be held this year if two conditions are met the use of state militia to police the course and a suitable public road course in Nassau or Suffolk counties.

Their authority would resemble deputy marshals but their presence would deter crowd disruption. If plans succeed Oct 19 is the race date and the course is to be determined.
