POTS EMBARGO ON TRAINING MUDDY TRACK KEEPS HORSES FROM WORKING AT LEXINGTON. Purposeful Delay in Assigning Dates for Kentucky i a Meetings — Expectation That Season Will Be»in , at Lexington April 27. Lextaartoa, Kjr., March to. — After another week of i ft a there Is nothing ui mud at the grounds of the ! Kentucky Association. Bveu the macadam mads arc J full ..t ii.

The natation of datea would bare long ago been nettled had it not been for the Inability of Messrs. Matt .1. Winn, tenaeacntlng Churchill Downs, and John Hacbmelster, renreeent lug Douglas Park, to get together over the problem •! a division iu LooleviBe some ten or twelve weeks ■go. They eoaM not agree and they decided to leave the Matter to the Kentucky state Racing Commission ior settlement. The Legislature was .just ■i nvening and the commissioners were not disposed t.i take up a proposition thai aright result in the precipitation of a big row attended by the Introdue-an, tWm of syite hills at Frankfort. CM Miosis. Winn ■ :i ...| llarhmeist. r were advised that there would lie •iiu action uniil after the adjournment of the Lcgisla- tnre and the return of Colonel Clay, the chairman. Who was about that time departing or had departed. 1..; hi- winter home at Buatice, Ila. In other words, tin- attitude of the commission was that of Bavin* the track managers from dangerous rod;- that seemed to be ahead of tin ir eraft. In the mean while, so it i- generally reported here. Messrs. Winn .nd Bachmeistet have come to an understanding l hut Churchill Down- is to have all of the Boring datea at Louisville and that Dooglaa Park is to lake the fall dates. Ii i- nut known here whether or BOt lucre baa been a renewal of the contract under which in l.HiT the two tracks were put into a hold company for five years and which expired last i liursday. March II. There is probably no one here in a position to cot reetly forecast what the commission will do in the matter of racing date-. Vice-chairman Young says I.- ha- been Informed thai Lexington has applied • i thirteen day-, beginning April 27, but he does I lot know whether or not I.onisvilie and Latonla ,.i presented applications for specified dates. Whatever may be the action of the commission, it , - : . be hoped that it will be acceptable to all in-te esta and thai natmony will prevail.
