LU BONNETS TOMORROW Outlook Most Promising for Best BestMeeting Meeting in History of the theMontreal Montreal Jockey Club MONTREAL Que June 6 The Montreal Jockey Club will launch on Thursday at Blue Bonnets one of the most picturesquely situated and complete in its appointments of all the race courses of Canada what prom ¬ ises to be the most successful thoroughbred race meeting that will ever have been con ¬ ducted at the Canadian commercial and in ¬ dustrial capital The salient feature of the seven days meeting will be the renewal on June 15 the last day of the Windsor Hotel Cup a race of one mile and an eighth for threeyearolds and over that will this year have a value of 5OCO in added money The Windsor Hotel Cup counting the subscrip ¬ tions and forfeits of the nominators with starting fees and added money should pay the winner about 56500 It bids fair to at ¬ tract to Blue Bonnets some of the best of American horses as well as the most prom ¬ inent campaigners of mature years in the powerful Canadian stables of the Seagrams the Ross the Giddings the Davies etc etcFormidable Formidable potential starters are Com ¬ mander Ross iron horse Boniface the Sea ¬ gram stables Golden Sphere which defeated Registrar one of the best of Commander Ross second string performers in the King Edward Gold Cup at Toronto not long since Willis Sharpe Kilmers Exterminator the super iron horse of the North American con ¬ tinent which turned the 200000 mark as regards earnings the other day at Louisville when he won the 10000 Kentucky Handicap Harry F Sinclairs Mad Hatter Thunderclap and Knobbie the first named the winner this year of the Metropolitan and Kings County Handicaps Be Frank a Latonia Derby and Latonia Cup winner in his threeyearold year Herron a star of Havana racing last winter also Billy Kelly Spanish Maize Baby Grand Kings Champion Sunnyland Mutti kins Irish Dream By Jiminy etc etcEXTERMINATOR EXTERMINATOR AN ELIGIBLE ELIGIBLEMr Mr Kilmer whose racing establishment Is now at Aqueduct has not said definitely that he will send Exterminator to Montreal for the Cup renewal but he is thinking the matter over seriously Exterminator which lor three years has been Bonifaces most formidable rival in Maryland racing the two iron horses having finished heads apart in two Pimlico Cup renewals tias not yet ap ¬ peared on a Montreal track although he has raced at Windsor and Toronto Mr Kilmer feels that it is up to him to give patrons of Montreal racing a view of the gelding which at seven years old is as fresh and as supple as a twoyearold and bids fair before he shall have finished with racing not only to have equalled but eclipsed the record of Isinglass Englands and the worlds greatest money winner If Exterminator comes this way there need be no apprehension that he will unduly dominate the Cup renewal As already related Boniface has run him to a head in two Pimlico cup renewals More ¬ over Boniface beat him in the Philadelphia Handicap revival at Havre de Grace and was beaten by him by a head only in the Pimlico Spring Handicap renewal renewalGolden Golden Sphere an cnglishbred son of Oli ¬ ver Goldsmith and Sphere of Influence is some horse himself He packed 115 pounds and galloped one mile and a sixteenth in the King Edward Cup renewal in 1 45 which is rattling good time for the heavy Woodbine course When he won the Toronto Cup a race of one mile and an eighth beating Boni ¬ face and Registrar also Brilliant Jester Bunga Buck and Fair Gain Golden Sphere finished in 1 51 He clipped onefifth of a second off the old track record that had been set by Runes Golden Sphere is one of the most formidable British horses that has come into Canada in a number of years The horse that beats him likely will win the
