With a perfect setting for a successful opening Latonia inaugurates tomorrow its annual fall racing program with glowing prospects in view. , There is an overabundance of racing material, horsemen having shipped here from every section, attracted by the rich purses and stakes. Indications are that the coming racing will be on a par, if not better than, the best ever held here. Local as well as foreign interest in the coming sport is greater than formerly. The spacious plant never looked in better trim and its park-like aspect is a thing of beauty and source of wonder to visitors. Track superintendent Charles Nolte has on this occasion given his best energy toward greening the whole plant in its best dress. SPLENDID INAUGURAL CARD. The opening days card is an excellent one, probably the best arranged for an inaugural days racing that has been offered patrons in this section. Quality predominates and the various fields are exceptionally well matched. The Latonia Handicap of ,000 added, which features the opening days racing, is indicative of the good quality of horses that have assembled here. Fifteen of the more pretentious racers in this country are named to start, with every prospect of at least ten making the contest. It should furnish a thrilling mile and a sixteenth dash with the spectators additionally being furnished an interesting and close finish as the arrangements of weights justify. Xothing that would contribute to the comfort of the patrons has been overlooked and in this respect general manager Matt J. Wynn has given details his personal attention. , The track itself was never betterand weather conditions arc perfect. It is" expected that an enormous attendance will bo on hand for the opening. There is not an available stall at the track and stabling adjacent to the track is also at the crowding stage. More than 1,200 horses have assembled here. The usual field limit of twelve, excepting in stakes, will prevail in all races. SERIOUS AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. Andrew Slaughter, for years employed by John Hachmeister and more recently in the mutuel department here, had both his legs broken last night as a result of being run over by an automobile. He is in a hospital In Covington. The extensive Florisant Stable, owned by Kirk Harrington and trained by Edward Trotter, is among the recent comers from Canada. It had been intended to inaugurate racing here daily at 1:45 p. m., but inasmuch that extensive publicity had been given that post time would be 2 p. nl., it was thought best to begin at this hour during the first six days and beginning with next Saturday post time for the first race will be 1 :40 p. m. The close of the larger courses in Canada has brought here an additional quota of jockeys. Among the newcomers are T. Finn; under contract to Miller Henderson, and H. Briggs and L.
