Notwithstanding the appearance of cards announces the Polo games of the International Series will ho called at Meadowbrook, at o :30 oclock the public is warned that play will not begin until 4 oclock and the patrons of racing at Belmont Park who want to see both the racing program and the polo games will have ample time to do so. As lias been announced the Pennsylvania Hail-rod will sell special stop-over tickets for the sixth and tenth of September good to Belmont Park and from thence to Meadowbrook, the trains leaving immediately after the races-and arriving at the scene of the games before play starts. If necessary, the same plan will be in vogue for Saturday the 13th, should there be a tie to play off. Racing at Belmont Park will begin at 1 oclock on the days of the Polo contests which are arousing the greatest interest all over the country. There is a perfect understanding and working agreement between the Westchester Racing Association and the Polo Association managements and a certain number of seats will be placed at the disposal of the racing folic. Everett TTaynes was again in the saddle when Epinard came out for his work yesterday morning. It was the day for walking and trotting, winding up with a slow gallop, and the great four-year-old was unaccompanied. He and Haynes understand each other thoroughly and the horse, as is sual with him with Leonard Madden up, did not want to run at any time. He was eager and as interested in what was going on around him, but went along as sedately as an old selling plater. In speaking of training conditions in France, Haynes had the following to say: "Hors.es leave the stables for the training grounds, and when they get there they are supposed to be ready to work. The walk to the training grounds is all they need in the way of preliminary exercise. For that reason horses in France are ready to run when they arrive. Epinard had most of his work over the grounds in the forest of Le Trembley where the going is much like it is over the Oklahoma course here. Occasionally Mr. Leigh would send him to the grass course at Acheres."
