ARRIVALS AT NEW ORLEANS Horses From All Sections of Country Reaching Crescent City-Tracks Daily. NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. S. Horses from Maryland, New York and Kentucky tracks, are arriving in New Orleans daily, to campaign through the winter racing season, which opens here Thanksgiving Day. Stable allotments have been taken up, at both the Fair Grounds and Jefferson Park, and it is predicted that there will be more thoroughbreds this year in the Crescent City, than at any other time in the history of southern turf. Announcement was made by President John Dymond, Jr., of the Business Mens Racing Association, that there would be several new barns built for prominent turf men, with tensive stables. Plans for a modernly equipped barn with thirty stalls, have been given to contractors and work on the first new structure will begin next week. The new barn is going to be put up for Payne Whitney of New York. Another new barn is to be constructed for S. N. Holman of Ohio. Several old barns will be torn down to make room for the new structures which will be electric lighted and equipped with shower baths for the stable help. The present site of the new Whitney barn, at the Fair Grounds, was at one time occupied by horses trained by Sam Hildreth, more than twenty years ago. It is expected that Mr. Hildreth will ship some of the Rancocas horses here for a winter campaign. E. R. Bradley the Kentucky breeder and owner of the Idle Hour Stock Farm stable, had his private barn of thirty stalls built at the Fair Grounds two years ago. The new Whitney barn will adjoin the Bradley structure and will compare favorably with many of the privately built barns at Belmont Park and Saratoga Springs. The Greentree stable consisting of twenty-nine horses will arrive here November 15, according to present schedule.
