Fortnight ago the now superfluous Texas Racing Commission received from one Tom Katz of Mesquite a postcard application for a license to operate a cat-racing track. Ingenious Tom Katz, besides describing the electric mice with which he proposed to excite spry young felines, explained that he would also give employment to middle-aged and retired cats by having them chased into holes at the end of a 75-yd track by electric dogs...
