RACING AT NIAGARA FALLS Two Meetings at Stamford Park, the First June 14 to 21, the Second Aug. 30 to Sept. 6. NIAGARA FALLS, Out. Feb. S. The dates for the spring and fall meetings of the Niagara Falls race course at Stamford Park have been announced by secretary J. L. Yanstone of the club. The first meeting will open June 11 and continue to June 21, inclusive, while the fall meeting will be held from August 30 to September 0. Two Saturday dates and a holiday Labor Day are included in the second meeting, which will provide the only racing hereabouts during that week. According to plans, now complete, arrangements have been made to enlarge the plant and extend the course proper to a mile. Last fall the inaugural meeting was conducted over a half-mile track and met with such success that the directors immediately decided to make the improvements before the opening meeting in June. These will include more stable accommodations, a large addition to the grandstand and several more pari-mutuel machines. The course will be ready for training purposes by the first week in June and prospects for two successful campaigns are indeed bright
