NEW BLOOD AT WINDSOR Many Newcomers to Canadian Racing Will Be Seen at the Meeting Next Week. DETROIT. Mich.. July 7. The infusion of new blood into the racing at the Windsor Jockey Club meeting beginning July 12 is relished generally by devotees of tin? sport. In the Frontier Handicap, as well as in the other stakes and purses to lie decided during the seven days, there will be seen colors never before sported ut any of the Canadian tracks. Among the newcomers will be Charles A. Slone-ham, president of the New York Giants and head of the Cuban-Amercan Jockey Club in Havana. The string he will ship to Windsor is headed by Yellow Hand, a handicap performer of excellent racin" credentials. Sam Ilildreth, trainer of the Rancooas Stable, will make his initial bow at the coming meeting. Mr. Hildroth. who is one el the most astute trainers on the Jockey Club tricks in the east, comes to the Canadian track with a string of ten higli-class thoroughbreds, including Grey Lag, Mad Hatter Thunderclap, Cirrus and Knobbie. All of thosu named, save Knobbie, are eligible to the Frontier. It will be W. J. Salmons first experience witit Canadian racing when he arrives at Windsor next: week with a large stable. inclua:ng careful, Step Lively, Superwoman and Hobey Baker. Tftere are many more among the 1.10O horses to be stabled at the Windsor track next week, of which many will be seen for the first time under colois in this section of the racing world. These newcomers with worthy tools should furnish lively contests when they clash with the . stars of tiie Whitney, Ross, Kilmer, Bradley and -McDowell stables. The Montreal sportsman, J. K. L. Ross, evidently intends to make a strenuous bid for all of the rich stakes at Windsor and at Kenilworth Park. He has engaged stalls for forty thoroughbreds and has three or more nominations in each fixture at both tracks. For the Frontier he has named Billy Kelly. Boniface. Star Voter, Baby Grand, Milkmaid and King Thrush. Another Canadian stable that will be worth watching is the Seagram, which has half a dozen freshly imported British thoroughbreds that look mo-it promising to the sharps. Golden Sphere, which is entered in tire Frontier and Tolmio Handicaps, won his first time- out in Canada recently when he defeated the excellent band of three-year-olds in the Hamilton Derby. The Harry Payne Whitney string to be shipped to Windsor includes Dr. Clark, John P. Grier and others, together with some of the crack two-year-olds of that establishment. In addition to Exterminator, winner of last years renewal of the Windsor Jockey Club and William Hendiie Memorial Handicaps, Willis Sharp Kilmer, will ship Magic Silence and Our Flag for the meetings across the river.
