ABOUT BEADY AT WORTH. At the handsome Worth track the improvements are rapidly nearing completion, for the fall meeting, and when the gates are thrown open to the public on October 10 the vast amount of work done since May 25 will first be noticed on leaving the trains to enter the gates. Every part of the track has a new and clean appearance that is refreshing to turf patrons, the lake in the infield is nearly completed and will add greatly to the picturesque appearance of the course. Painters are still busy in the grand stand, stables, outhouses, and cottages, and in its new fall coat the Worth track will be a thing of beauty to the eye. Manager J. E. Wagner has made an arrangement with the Wabash B. B., whereby two through express trains will carry passengers direct to the course from the Dearborn station, without making a stop, these special trains will alternate with the trains that make all stops between the station and the track. Secretary Hiller has decided to limit the fields to twelve starters and to give no steeplechase or hurdle racea during the approaching fall meeting. By next Baturday the track will be in condition and the stableB ready for occupancy, and horsemen who are assigned stable room can move over at their leisure, but only horses in training and ready to race will be given room. Secretary Sheridan Clark of Hawthorne has kindly offered to let horsemen use the Btables at that track for yearlings and horses not ready to race during the Worth meeting, and owners will be required to leave their ueelesB horses at Hawthorne. Stable room will be very scarce, because of the great number of horseB now in training and racing at the local tracks. Besides, applications aro constantly being received at the Worth office for Btable accommodation from Fort Erie, Toronto, I New York and other points, all of which aro j complimonts to the popularity of the Worth track. It will bo a fitting close to tho legitimate racing season of Chicago and the Worth Jockey Club will have done its part to give high class and clean sport.
