TO CONSIDER PLANS FOR FUTURE. Kentucky Association Directors to Hold Meeting on Tuesday — Few Horses Left at Lexington. Lexington. Ky.. May 27. — Secretary Garrett I. Wilson lias issued a call for a meeting of the directors of the Kentucky Association to be held here next Tuesday, when the reports of the secretary and treasurer on the financial results of the recent spring meeting will be received; plans and dates loi- the fall meeting discussed; certain Improvements in the plant outlined and the conditions for three or more stakes announced. The stakes in contempts lion are the renewal of the Camden Handicap and the Blue Crass Stakes for P.H2 and the Breeders Futurity for 1913, the 1 •uturiiy for I.il2 having already closed. These three slakes are to close on July l. It has been suggested in the form of aa editorial in one of the local newspapers that the Itr. dels- Futurity for 1913 be conditioned for the fall meeting Instead] of the spring meeting and that the d lata nee be increased to six furlongs or a mile. This suggestion, for various reasons, does not meet with the approval of the majority of the directors and it is not to be expected that it will be adopted. The dlstanca of the Futurity for 1912 has been increased from a half mile to four and one half furlongs and It is likely that the conditions of the lace for 191:1 will be a duplicate of those for next year.

Itoss has taken advantage of the opportunity lo thoroughly clean the grounds and stables and to disinfect the stalls.
