An animal food, high in vitamins A, D and B-12, has recently been added to the flamingo diet, along with water-soaked corn and wheat. The usual flamingo diet includes cooked rice, dried shrimp and dog biscuit-served with plenty of water. The corn and wheat are soaked overnight to make the grains more easily digestible for the birds.

Even photo-finish pictures have gone "wide screen" this season at Hialeah. Being used for the first time at any race track, the new process-developed by Crowley- Jones Corporation-projects the photo of the finish on a screen three feet long and three feet wide. One screen is on the clubhouse first floor, near the first aid room. The other is on the ground floor of the grandstand.

Hialeah's famed flamingos have been brought into camera range for the first time this season. A dozen of the healthiest and pinkest of the flock are on closeup exhibition in the new Flamingo Pool, located at the west end of the grandstand entrance prado.

The Palm Beach-Biltmore Special Train is operated daily to Hialeah.
