KENILWORTH OPENS SEPT. 30 Sixty Thousand Dollars in Purses for Final Meeting on Canadian Circuit. WINDSOR, Ont,, September 27. The sum of 0,000 will be distributed among winning owners at the second Kenilworth Park Jockey Club meeting, starting next Saturday, September 30, and continuing one week. This meeting brings to an end the 1922 racing season in Canada. There will be no purse of less value than ,000, which will be increased as the class of field prompts to ,500. There will be one ,000 handicap each afternoon, which will attract the best class of performers on the Dominion circuit and will insure a daily contest worth witnessing. These handicaps will be at a longer distance than a mile, the majority of them being at a mile and a sixteenth. The first race each day will be set at 2 oclock, half an hour earlier than the time of starting during the summer meetings. Practically all of the horses now contesting for valuable stakes and purses at Woodbine in Toronto this week will be shipped to Kenilworth for the races there next week. Commander J. K. L. Ross will ship his pretentious stable of twenty-five performers and so will the Seagrams, Davies, Hendries and others. Because of the rich purses on the Canadian Racing Associations circuit quite a number of American owners continue to linger in the Dominion and they will be on hand for the final racing at Windsor.
