The stewards will meet in Chicago on Monday, March -5. and it is considered a certainty that they will approve these dates. This will give the local club twenty-one days of racing. Since it lias been already announced that the Western Jockey Club would provide racing at Hot Springs until .Memphis opens, this action on the part of the directors of the local club may be taken to mean that John Condon has decided to prolong the meeting at Oaklawn until Saturday.
