PREPARING FOR MUTUELS AT WINDSOR. Detroit, Mich., December 20. George M. Hendrie. president of the Windsor Jockey Club, has returned from a trip to Edenwold Stud in Tennessee, where he has been discussing plans with Walter O. Parmer for the buildings to house the pari-mutuel machines that are to be installed at the Windsor track in 1915. At a recent meeting of the Canadian Racing Associations a resolution was passed calling for the installation of the pari-mutuel method of speculation at all the tracks within its jurisdiction year after next. In 1911 each track probably will employ the betting methods iu vogue the past season. There will be no change at Windsor and the bookmakers will hold forth at that track as usual. The following year, however, the inutuels will be installed and President Hendrie says that a structure will be erected iu harmony with the other buildings constituting the Windsor Jockey Club plant to care for the machines and those who may patronize them. Fort Erie, Hamilton and Ottawa will continue the bookmakiug system next season, while Toronto will continue with the uilituels inaugurated at that track two years ago, and the Blue Bonnets track at Montreal may also adopt the inutuels at once.
