General manager Eddy and president McClellan of the Business Mens Racing Association of New Orleans are meeting with unusual success in their missionary efforts here on behalf of the winter meeting at the Fair Grounds and have received the positive assurance that Harry Payne Whitney will have a big band of racers to carry his colors at their track next winter. Other extensive eastern racing establishments that have asked for stall reservations at the Fair Grounds Include F. M. Taylor, in charge of the J. J. Hallenbeck horses; Fred Burlew, S. M. Henderson Ogden stable, Edward Garrison, representing Montford Jones; J. H. Rosseter, J. AV. McClelland, R. E. Watkins, W. Shea, Frank Regan and R. A. Smith. "We feel greatly encouraged by the promise of hearty co-operation on the part of some of the countrys more pretentious stables," said Mr. Eddy, "and we will make every effort at our track for the convenience and comfort of their horses. It is satisfaction to know that our expenditure of approximately 00,000 on the plant this year is already bearing fruit, judging by the desire of many of the bigger stables to race with us the coming winter."
