Inscriptions Typed in ink on slip of paper placed behind photograph: Lakewood Speedway, N.J. Lakewood is the name I believe). On the Blackhorse or Whitehorse Pike, (the former I believe) between Philadelphia and Atlantic City, N.J. A lecturer at the Academy of Natural Science, Phila. said that small 3' high scrub oak such as shown here, was a type over 300 years old in this part of N.J.
