Fry, and the sprinter, Preen, were part of the shipment. At present there are quartered at the Ascot track 110 yearlings and 302 older horses. The question of transporting their horses from Ascot to the Santa Anita track has been puzzling trainers, as the two tracks are situated about twenty miles apart. The management of the new track has come to their assistance and proposes to make up a train of live cars and convey the horses by rail to the new track the latter part of the present week. Three trips will he made daily and it is thought that the transfer of all the horses can be made within two days. The trainers are delighted with this arrangement, as otherwise they would most likely lie compelled to walk their horses over the long distance between tracks. Every day witnesses the arrival of new stables. Four cars are on the way from Pimlico; two are coming from Latonia; two from Sheepshead Bay; three from San Antouio; C. T. Boots Is sending two from his Elmwood Farnne.arSacfuneutov a,nd five will arrive from Oakland liefore opening day.
