Montreal, Que., May 13. — A conflict of dates between the local half-mile tracks was eliminated this afternoon when a meeting was held at which the King Edward Iark, Maisonneuve and Mount Royal Jockey Clubs were represented. At this meeting a rearrangement of the dates was discussed and a new schedule adopted, which will give every track dates and the majority of them two Saturdays. The racing on the half-mile tracks, with the meetings at Rlue Rounots and Dorvul, will furnish eighty-four days of racing in Montreal and vicinity. The trouble over the dates was remedied a suggestion from manager Thomas Duggan of the Mount Royal track, who was instrumental in bringing the clubs together. King Edward Park had not previously claimed dates and will now hold meetings in July and August. The officials for all the tracks will be practically the same this year as in 1915. The following are the new dates arranged: Delorimier Park—May 20 to May 27. Dorval — May 20 to June 5. Rlue Rennets — June 0 to June 13. Maissoneuvt — June 14 to June 21. Delorimier lark — June 24 to July 1. Mount Royal— July 8 to July 15. King Edward lark — July 22 to July 29. Maisonneuve — August 5 to August 12. King Edward lark — August 19 to August 25. Rlue Roanets — Sptember 4 to September 11. Dorval — September 13 to September 20. Mount Royal — September 23 to September 30.
