Becker, embracing Striker, P.rig-liouse, Slellarina and others, will be shipped from Havre de Grace to Tijuana next week. W. K. Coe has shipped the stallion llarnionicon and sixteen broodmares to his Wyoming farm, where he has been gathering together a thoroughbred breeding establishment of some importance. Bullion, the winner of the maiden two-year-old race at Louisville on Saturday, is one of the Whitney colts that trainer Simons disposed of at Fort Erie when Ed Trotter bought Arravan. The two-year-old Munokin, which has won so frequently for H. G. P.edwell, is named for a river and hamlet in Somerset County, Maryland. Manokin was presented to his present owner by Thomas Clyde. Saturdays victory of Kancher in the Toronto Autumn Cup resulted in a fourth consecutive victory in this race for George M. Ilendrie, whose Kancher came home a neck in front, of Prince Hermis. Kancher liad won the same race last year, and his stable companion, Great Britain, was the winner in 1913 and 11111. Secretary Parmer of the Windsor Jockey Club, "who was among the Woodbine visitors on Saturday, reports work well under way in the addition of accommodations for -1,000 more persons in the grandstand and the construct ion of a new jockeys house and paddock. Enlarged parking space for motors will also be provided. This attendance at Douglas Park, according to report from semi-official sources, has been about the same as last, year, with a slight increase in the volume of betting. This increased revenue will not offset the increase in the purses as ordered by the Kentucky State Racing Commission, and Douglas Park will do well to break even on the meeting. From these same sources it is learned that this track did not make a profit last year, just about breaking even. The year before it is said to have made four per cent. The New York Jockey Club rule does not provide the same protection against friendly claims in celling races as the Canadian regulations, and when Sam Louis lost St. Charlcote at Havre de Grace on Friday he had the horse back in his stable the same afternoon. Claims for St. Charlcote were put in by H. G. Bedwell and "Bob" May. The latter was successful in the draw, and immediately sold tins horse to his former owner. Under the Canadian rules the horse would have to remain Mays property, absolutely in his care and charge, for thirty days.
