Season Will Come to Close at Woodbine September 30 Additional Tracks Likely for Next Season-Horsemen Making Plans for Winter. Hamilton. Out., August 21. Tim meeting of the Hamilton Jockey Club, which closed on Saturday was unquestionably tlii! most successful in the history of racing at this point. It is the purpose of the Hamilton Jockey Club to immediately proceed with plans for the replacing of the temporary grandstand that took the place of tins one recently burned with a line modern steel structure. Only four more meetings remain to be run before the Canadian racing season comes to a close at Woodbine track, Toronto, Septemljer ;J0. One of these is on the half mile track at Dufferiu Park, Toronto, Septemler 1 to US, which dates parallel those of the .Montreal Hockey Clubs fall meeting. The Windsor meeting will open on .Monday next and continue until and including Labor Day. The Woodbine meeting of the Ontario Jockey Club which will bring the season to a close, will liegin September 23. ltecauso of the presence of many formidable stables on the circuit and the considerable amount of idle time entailed by the lapses between meetings, tlit; smaller strings that have raced in Canada this season have found it rather ditlicult to make expenses. It is reported that a more compact schedule will be provided next year by the addition of new tracks, including that of the Ottawa Jockey Club, which will be atliliated with the Canadian Racing Associations. It is said that Robert Davies expects to build a new track near Toronto and that the proposed new track at Niagara Falls is likely to materialize. Horsemen racing on tlds circuit are beginning to give some consideration to plans for winter racing. One hears little of the Charleston, S. C, proposition and the presumption is that the proposed new track at that place will not become an actuality this season at least. Many of the horses now racing in Canada probably will be shipped to Cuba to race at II. D. Browns new track. This track is located .it the edge of the city limits of Havana on the Al-inandares river, much nearer Havana than the old Almaudures track. The first application for stable room at the Havana track was received from .1. S. Evorman, who wrote from Kentucky asking that quarters be reserved for him at the new Cuban course. .Many of the horsemen here are talking of splitting their stables at the conclusion of the Canadian meetings, sending part to 1iiulico and part to II. I. Browns new track at Laurel. Joseph McLennan, who will act as racing secretary at Laurel, and Harry White, who will also be one of the ollicials at the new track, are booking stable room for owners here. .Mr. McLennan is also looking after II. D. I.rowns Havana interests. S. C. Ilildreth may send some of his horses to Cuba the coming winter, but that has not been definitely decided upon as yet. Jockey C. II. Shilling is still at his home in Texas, and the chances are that he will not return north until the opening of the Iimlico meeting. Next year he will go abroad and Mr. Ilildreth may accompany him unless the Xmv York situation takes a turn for the better. John AV. Schorr contemplates culling out his stable. He will not personally engage in racing the coming winter, but will remain in Tennessee. He plans to turn half a dozen horses over to John F. Schorr to race in Cuba. The stable has done fairly well in Canada this summer. At the conclusion of tlie Toronto meeting tiie horses probably will be sent back to Kentucky. George Odoni will leave for Kentucky at the conclusion of the Windsor meeting. After the Kentucky meetings close he will cainpaignhis stable at Juarez. John . Ferriss is another who has already announced his intention of shipping to Juarez. Max Hirseh will also ship to the Mexican track. AV. C. Daly will ship his stable to Havana for the winter.
