A stable that should do well, not only at Douglas I ark but the rest of the tracks in Kentucky, . that of William Jerst. Trainer William Me . Daniel has rested this string up since coming back to Kentucky from Canada and he has 11 most useful bunch of horses now and it is believed they will cut quite a figure in many races before the _ wind up of the sport comes in this state. 4 Another horse that is training well at Douglas t Park is W. P. Reardons Lady Powers, and James Griffin has his two year-old Ralph S. about up to -a race now. Chilton King is also training well for C. Bills and in all his recent work has pulled 2 ii without showing any signs of severe lame- % ness. 2 The Schorr stable will probably have two starters 2 the Inaugural Handicap, sending Lindeiithal to 2 the post with Bd Crump. .1.

Henry, does not intend to let V him tie up with any big stable for any ling length -of time. Little Henry was not allowed to ride in i Kentucky last spring and summer beeauae he was 4 1.1 .hi enough then under Racing Commission rules, lb is now old enough to meet the requirements -•f the rules and is a prize to any stable, as he can ! ride as light as 70 pounds.
