Chief auiong these are the appeals of owners 11. G. Bedwell MM Kav Bpence trum the recent Ullm-f ■ of the Latonia officials in connection with the dopiug of the horses Nadzu and Charlie Hill. Messrs. Bedwell and Spcuce have notified the commission that they will be pieseut in person, with their attorneys, at Saturdays meeting. Jolm Markleiu. who lost his trainers license early in l lie spring at Lexington through the in-aud-out raaaiag ot tne borae W. A. Leach was here fen tec day in consultation with a local attorney, who will endeavor to secure the Cincinnati horseman a re-npratpi of his case at .Saturdays meeting of the Kentucky State Racing Commission. Secretary Bid-well thinks the meeting of the commission will he about as lengthy a session as that body has ever held. as. in addition to the Markleiu. Bedwell and Spcuce petitions, the managers of the various Ken-tacky tracks will lie after fall dates. Applications lor dates must be tiled tliirty days before tne opening day ef the proposed race meeting. Horsemen now idle at Douglas Park, Churchill Downs, l.atouia and the Kentucky Association course at Lexington are hoping that the power* that he will decide to resume lacing in Kentucky the coming fall not later than the hist or second Saturday in September. Many of the horses that raced at Latonia have arrived here to remain throughout the summer. During July and August of last year hardly a dozen horses were quartered at Chui chill Downs and Douglas lark. hut this year between 350 and 100 borsea will summer at the two LoaJafUle tracks. II. G. Bedwell is the only owner who anticipated shipping swuic of his string here who will not send any horses tor the present to either of the local tracks. Intil the Kentucky State Racing Commission acts on his ap|Hal roan the recent decision against him. the dorado turfmans horses will remain at Latonia. William Ccrst was here a day or two ago after having looked over some extensive improvements he has been makinir in the way of buildings on his Tennessee farm. He has several promising yearlings he expect! to have sent to Cumberland Dark to be broken soon, and when trainer George Ham lei urns west they will go under his care. On the closing day ai Latonia the crack three year-old, Dona a, showed in his race a Hash of his speed, so Mr. Gcrat caaaaented to let trainer Ham take him cast with the other horses. The Kentucky Derby winner never looked better bodily, but he was recently very sluggish in his work. Ham thinks a change of scene may restore his form, but if he continues to act badly he will not bring him to Chun-hill Downs next fall, but ship him to the Tennessee farm to run out until next fear, Gcrst says Mexico looks so inviting the coming winter that he will likely send a bunch of horses to Juarez to race insiead of wintering his string at Nashville as he did last year. What horses go to Juarez will be in charge of Ham. Messrs. Gcrst and Holle both expert to buy some yearlings the coming fall, as their home-raised youngsters are not sufficient in number to satisfy the retpiiremcnts.. Among the recent arrivals at Churchill Downs ami Poaglaa Dark were trainer 1*. Coyne with George J. Longs string, trainer W. C. Westmoreland with 1. J. Dous Stable, trainer James Kvorman with D. N. Drewitts horses, trainer S. W. Hopkins with the horses owned by 1». Mesehou-dorf. Alf V. Oldham and John 11. Morris, trainer Wayne Lew is with C. W. J. Bissclls stable, trainer George Foley with Ed Trotters hursts, C. B. Reid ami J. C. Calm. Trainer West uiorolaml will leave shortly for Tennessee to superintend the shipping to Douglas Dark of the yearlings F. J. Dons recently purchased of Walter O. Farmer. He will bring the leu youngsters here to put them through the breaking process. They are the get of The touinioner and Lord Ester-ling, and. according to report, are the most likely crop of foals ever raised at Fdenwold Farm. I.on Jones, who shipped Tony W. and his other horses here from Latonia over a week ago. is also preparing to take up a number of vearlings at au early date. J. F. Strode, general manager of the Tampa Racing Association, was in the city a few hours yesterday and talked freely on tin proposed new track at l nsaciila. Fla.. which he will manage the coining winter. He said that by the middle of the coining ■Math he would announce the program of a thirty-days meeting to precede the winter racing season at Tampa. There will be only sixty days of lacing at Tampa the coining winter, but horsemen who follow the Strode circuit will have a season of 120 days racing, as Densacola will in Dill hold an early spring meeting of tliirty days, following the wind-up at Tampa. So. witli Jacksonville and Sau Francisco In full blast, ami a 90,099 meeting at Juarez for DiO days, horsemen have a good winter before them. Harney Scfareiber said a few days ago at Latonia that he wis not si sure that I.os Angeles would not give a race meetiag the coining winter of brief duration. He said that when he left California the tendency was in that direction. The Missouri turfman has a farm in California at which he has a baud of maws and several stallions. Be thinks now that be will let Jack Atkin do his Oral stud uutv in California and retain Nealon for home use at Woodlands Farm. Tin- purchasers of Arrow Swift. Darknight. Jacobite. Plant land and Weather?, Which were sold at Latonia hist week by Dr. ;. w. Carawck. owing to his suspension by the Canadian Racing Associations. have been notified of their re-laatatemeat, as the g" ruing body of that association is satisfied that tin- sale was ■ legitimate transfer of all interests so far as the suspended turfman is concerned. •The telegram Dr. Carawck received nidifying him of the action of the Canadian Badag AaaoclatJoaa was a Mirprise to that horseman, who came to Latonia from Toronto with no knowledge of being in bad repute with the governing body of the turf iu Canada. Dr. Carmack thinks that the action against him was the result ol a charge filed with the Canadian ||aclng Associations that he had connections with a lipping bureau.
