MINIMUM PURSE AT WINDSOR IS ,500 Dinittnf . MidTiT August 13. Walter 0. Parmer, secretary of the Windsor Jockey Club, has returned from Saratoga to complete details for one of the most pretentious meetings ever staked on the old Windsor track next week. "In increasing the amount of added money to each and every one of our overnight purses ami handicaps, the Windsor Jockey Club dans to make every nice stand out conspicuously during the seven days racing," said Mr. Parmer this morning. "As will be observed in scanning our condition book, every purse will be not less than ,500 in value, while many of them will be ,800 and more. The handicaps will each have an added money value of ,000 or more. "This ought to insure turf sport of a superior character, as it is a well-known maxim that money makes the mare go. "The horses on the Canadian circuit have arrived at the peak of their form and, if I am not mistaken, we will have more nose-and-head finishes to look at than has been the case at any track in the Dominion this year. And that is predicting considerable, as five out of seven races at Fort Erie oiie.day this week were decided by inches. "The demand for stabling room at Windsor was never more insistent than is now the case. Every horseman at Fort Erie will ship for our meeting and with this invasion we will have nearly 900 horses on the ground to conjure with. We have 000 stabled at the track which remained ovei from the July meeting at the Jockey Club and at Kenilworth the week following."
