NO MUTUELS AT DORVAL UNTIL 1915. Montreal, Que., November 3. As an aftermath to the announcement of racing dates for the Canadian season of 1914, coupled with the mandate that pari-mutuels must be installed on all tracks controlled by the Canadian Racing Associations by 1915, comes an announcement from President J. T. R. Laurendeau, of the Dorval Park Jockey Club, to the effect that as that organization is the youngest iu the Canadian Racing Associations fold, it would not show the way by installing parl-mntuels next season, a year ahead of the older clubs. "The governing body has issued orders that machines must be used during and after the season of 1915, and we will wait until that time to install them at Dorval," continued Mr. Laurendeau. "We are satisfied to follow the rulings of the governing body and will follow the example of other clubs next season, and permit bookmnking at Dorval."
