J.KL ROSS AND H.P.WHITNEY To Race at Coming Windsor Meeting Sir Barton, Boniface, Exterminator and Other Stars in Opening Day Feature. DETROIT, Mich., August 13. J. K. L. Ross, the Montreal sp6rtsman, has engaged twenty stalls at the Windsor Jockey Club track for the second summer meeting, starting August 21. He has named Boniface and Sir Barton for the Windsor Jockey Club Handicap, to be run on the opening day. Harry Payne Whitney, who has asked for a dozen stalls, has nominated Wildair, John P. Grier, Damask, Upset and Dr. Clark for the same stake, and Willis Sharpe Kilmer says he will start Exterminator in the 0,000 fixture. Messrs. Ross and Whitney were not here at Windsor for the first meeting, the former declaring that the hcrses campaigning in his colors on the Canadian tracks had gone stale, while the transportation problem was responsible for the nonappearance of the Whitney stable. Entries for the five stakes to be decided at Windsor the week of August 21-28, which closed Wednesday last, have been practically as numerous and of as excellent quality as those received for the first meeting. The nominations show that at least two score of the well-known performers now-stabled at Saratoga will be on hand to race for the 00,000 in stakes and purses to be distributed during the seven days of racing.
