CLEVELAND TRACK READY Inaugural Meeting at Brooklyn Driving Park to Get Under Way This Afternoon. CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept 23. The inaugural meeting of the Brooklyn Jockey Club will be ushered in tomorrow afternoon at the beautiful West Side track with a good program of seven races. The stellar and feature attraction for the initial days racing will be the Brooklyn Inaugural Handicap for three-year-olds and over, a gallop of a mile and a sixteenth. Of the twenty original nominations nine were named to start : Messrs. Moore and Creech being represented in the race with entries. Everything was practically in readiness for the opening of the new track when entries closed, only a few minor details remaining to convert the track into an up-to-date running course, which is considered one of the safest in the state. The entries for the opening day is a fair indication of the quality and number of horses stabled here. They were augmented this morning by the arrival of several stables from Omaha, including those of B. Creech, F. A. Fouts, G. M. Johnson and others. Jockey W. Martin and H. Paden accompanied the Creech stable from the West. John T. Ireland, who will ssrve as presiding steward, arrived from his home in Lexington this morning to pass on the trainers and jockeys applications. Marshall Caasidy, who will do the starting, motored to Cleveland from Toronto, being preceded by his assistants, Bryant Steele, Basil Smith and George Palmer. S. N. Holman, general manager of. the Ohio State Jockey Club, departed this morning to personally supervise the management of his pretentious stable being campaigned in Kentucky. Jockey Gross, who had a nasty fall when Lady Argos went down with him at Maple Heights, was reported on the mend but that it would be some time before he would be able to accept mounts. R. J. Howell notified manager Monroe that he would arrive with his stable from Toronto tomorrow.
