KENILWORTH PARK RACING Final Meeting of the Year Under Canadian Racing Associations Begins This Afternoon. WINDSOR, Ont, September 29. Kenil-worth Park ushers in the final meeting for the present racing season in Canada. Many of the American and a majority of the Canadian stables are here to take part in the sport and every prospect points to a most successful meeting. The weather is delightful, the track in splendid condition and a well-balanced band of racers are here to contest for the purses. Two big specials arrived from Toronto yesterday. The most important consignment was that of the Seagram Stable, which numbered nineteen head. William Walker, another Canadian owner, is here with Fluzey, Ring and Sister Flo. E. Glassco and the Kenton Stable also shipped from Toronto. Among the riders that got in from Toronto were E. Ambrose, H. J. Burke, M. Anderson, F. Wilson, F. Sharpe, F. Weiner and T. Nolan. Judge Edward Cole got in from New York and P. Callan came tip from New Kensington, where he has been acting as presiding judge. W. R. Norvell will act as racing secretary and associate judge. The other officials are practically the same as were at the. other tracks on the Canadian circuit. There is some talk of a change in the racing schedule up her next year. Kenilworth is not too keen to race so late in the fall and the closing one day and opening the next at several of the tracks caused no end of complaint among the horsemen. Then again racegoers in Toronto who patronize the Woodbine meeting were much put out Avhen they had an opportunity of only one Saturday on which to witness the sport For the first time in the history of racing at the Woodbine the meeting began in midweek, which meant only one Saturday. There are thousands of racegoers in Toronto who take in just four days racing in the year, namely, the four Saturdays at the Woodbine, and when one was cut off this year there was much complaint. This will no doubt be rectified next year and the Ontario Jockey Club meeting placed back in its old schedule. At the conclusion of the present meeting starter Harry Morrissey will leave for Maryland to take in a couple of days racing before continuing oh his journey to his farm in Kentucky.
