Notices have been sent to Toronto, Hamilton, Windsor, Latonia and Louisville that the track and barns will absolutely be ready for receiving horses not later than the coming Saturday. The government is co-operating in every possible way to get the infield cleared. They have 150 cars on the side track arid will load them immediately. All the surplus supplies will be stored in the warehouse north of th-3 paddock. With each department under a separate head working full hours, there is no question as to the outcome. Judge Murphy is busy in Canada and racing secretary Fred W. Gerhardy reports great progress, and indications point to a large consignment of horses from all the Canadian tracks.
