RENO MEETING NOW CERTAIN Racing to Begin There June 9 and Continue for Twenty-Five or Thirty Days. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal.. April 18.— William Kyne, who will promote a race meeting at Reno, beginning June 9, has gone to San Diego to arrange for the shipment of horses to the Nevada metropolis. For a time it looked as though Kyne would put over the meeting until fall, but the promised support of Tijuana horsemen prompted him to keep to his original plans. Kyne was petitioned by the owners of a large number of horses to put through his scheduled June meeting, with the names of many of the principal stables on the list. Unless a change is made by the Vancouver racing authorities there will be a conflict between the Brighouse meeting, carded to open June 30. and that at Reno. Reno will run twenty-five or thirty days. The twenty-five day period ends Saturday. July 7. As all the horsemen have promised to stay at Reno until the wind-up, it seems likely the Brighouse meeting will open July 14, instead of June 30, according to word coming from the North. The northern racing started last year on July 16. If Brighouse opens June .10, Kyne will not be affected as there will be more than enough horses at Reno for good class sport even if fifty or a hundred were sent north prior to the close of the meeting. This is the first attempt of Kyne to stage a race meeting and he is going about it in a manner that promises big success. He has announced that more money will be distributed this year than ever before. Kyne is a well-known business man of San Francisco and has legions of friends among horsemen everywhere. He will sign some of his officials while in San Diego ar.d may go East to complete the roster. He has determined to have none but the hign-est type of men in charge. With the close at Tijuana the coming Sunday, the hors s will be good and fresh for the sport to open at Reno about seven weeks later. «-
