A splinter from a wooden box he was opening struck the eye hall with such force 11s to make a slight abrasion. It is regarded as a certainly that Iron Mask will start in the Inaugural Dash, th© first race of the meeting. Friday afternoon, and this event will likely attract the most interest of any of the day. as it will give the "Kentucky turfites an opportunity to look over the "big horse" lor the first time since he need in such a wonderful manner all winter. Casey Jones, Cangh Hill and Bringhurst are among others likely to contest the race. The first stake of the meeting will he the Ashland Oaks, which will be run next Monday. This event is at one mile and closed with thirty-live nominations. Included in this list are some of tin-best three-year-old fillies in the country, including Casuarina. which worked three-quarters of a mile in 1:13 recently, and Stake and Cap. Thomas Fortune Ryans promising filly. Trainer Carter has not had a chance to give Stake and Cap much hard work since she arrived here with the Ryan string, but she was in good shape when she left Beaming. Tavolara is another filly that has been working exceedingly well here, anil her owner, George Starr. is of thi opinion that she has elass enough Io win the big race Frank Weir has Fditli W. in it. and she probably will go to the post. Another likely starter is Maud B. I... owned by J. C. Milam.
