Many New Arrivals and More Expected as the Stability of the Meeting Becomes Apparent — Al Koenigsberg Reinstated. Hot Springs. Ark.. March 12. — Yesterdays auspicious re-opening of Oaklawa marks the- "i-ome-back" of another track that will probably in future enable horse am a to earn names at a time of the year when there is little racing elsewhere. The revival of the apart lure is on a solid basis and, unless something unforseeu occurs, raring will be a feature at this famous resort every spring. A more encouraged gathering could not !»• found than that which witnessed yesterdays opening. Hot Springs for a long period has been in tin- throes of despair aid the heavy influx of visitors, attracted here by the resumption of raciag, will cause a concerted effort 011 the part of the citizens here to safe-guard it should the- sport again be threatened. Political changes, which soon will transpire in the state, will also be favorable to the permanent re-e establishment of the sport, according to the- claims of those professing to be- familiar with conditions. 1 he intention of the Business Mens League, uiide-r whose auspices the raring is annually t, he conducted, is to continue its present plan of following tie- Xc-.v Orleans meeting. It is believed that when it becomes thoroughly clear to owners of raring staid. s all over tin- isajiilij that raciag will not meet molestation hen-, many will ship to Oaklawii to winter. Oaklawa is one of the most spacious and up-to-. date plants in the- country, with facilities supbrior to all tracks in the matter of arrommodn Hon for stable help. When the Messrs. Stuart. Dugan and Condon built the plant, they were unsparing in e--, pense and built on lasting lines, Arrivals this warning were agala numerous and, when turfdom in general is satisfied that the sport is here to stay, it is expected that the followers of raring will flock here in even g renter numbers. The attendance at the Hot Springs opening was estimated at ." . «M . Jockey MiDermott. who has been engaged to do the lightweight riding for James Butler, reported to trainer John Me-Cormaek at the- Empire City track Saturday. Jockey J. Loftus, who has been e nur. ;r el t- eio the heavyweight riding for the stable, will report within a few elays. Al Koenlgsberg, who was barred at New Orleans a year ago, has been re-instated by tin- beard of appeals of the- Business Mens U.: -inj; Association.
