BRILLIANT OUTLOOK FOR WINDSOR. More Horses Will Gather There for Next Weeks Racing- Than at Summer Mooting. Detroit. Mich.. August 21. A special train from Hamilton last night brought more than one hundred horsemen and followers of racing for the AVindsor running meeting which will open next Monday. A larger number of turfmen were prevented from coming to Detroit tliia morning by reason of notices posted in the Hamilton hotels that Detroit hotels were taxed to their capacity this week on account of the Moose convention and to delay their start for this point as late in the week as possible. AValter O. Parmer, secretary of tho AAIndsor Association, who was at Hamilton with President George M. Hendrie during the last few days, said upon his return last night: "There will be two hundred more horses stabled at the AVindsor track during the next two weeks than we had to care for at the summer meeting. The later meetings on the Canadian circuit have been gicat that is the only word to express it and there i. no reason to suspect that the autumn sport at A indsor will lie any exception to the rule. The overage attendance at Hamilton last week was 7,500 and on no day were there less than thlrtr-live books ecing business. A train load of New Yorkers turned in tho direction of tho eastern metropolis after the races Saturday because of the admonition that the Detroit hotels were filled up this week with convention people, but this group will be in town next Saturday or Sunday In time for the opening across the river. We expect as many, and perhaps there will be more, layers in line than at Hamilton. S. C. Hildreth, who fancied bis horses had gone stale, intended to ship his stable to Sheepshead Bay to rest when I left him Saturday evening, but I find upon arrival here a dispatch asking us to prepare for his use the stables he occupied during the summer meeting, as he will ship to AVindsor tomorrow. Almost every other notable string in the country will also be here either Tuesday or AVednesday."
