OAKLAWN SPRING MEETING ASSURED Hot Spriugs. Ark.. December 29. It was announced here today that the racing situation had been clarified and that Oaklawn Park will be the only track to be operated next spring. Plans for the spring meeting are now being formulated and it is said that the opening will be February 22 and that a meeting of over thirty dajS is in prospect on account of the early season. The differences were settled when the Oaklawn Park management took over the Essex Park track interests. Essex Park, which is the pioneer Hot Springs track, hail planned for a meeting, but to assign dates to both tracks would prolong the Hot Springs racing and interfere with early racing in Kentucky and Maryland.
