| ARLINGTON PARK NOTES | 3 ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, 111., June 23. Trainer S. B. Mitchell announced today that he would take the stable of Mrs. John D. Hertz to Saratoga following the close of the present meeting, and his sraa1! band would be rested during the several weeks intervening. The stable now numbers eight, but Mitchell is endeavoring to sell a two-year-old before departing. Jockey C. Lang will accompany the stable. Jockeys E. Tool and E. Fewell arrived from Latonia, but. as their mounts in the Rush Handicap, Wisdom and Illegitimate, were withdrawn, they returned without being seen in action here. Program books for the Raceland, Kenil-worth, Devonshire and Fort Erie meetings are being distributed here. Of the quartet of eligibles to the Rush Handicap that were shipped here from Latonia to fill their engagement in the stake, the Keeneland Studs Don Diego was the only one to start in the race. The other three — Greenock, Wisdom and Illegitimate — made a fruitless journey. They were withdrawn by their respective handlers, owing to the condition of the track. Jockeys E. Fewell and Earl Pool, who were to have ridden Illegitimate and Wisdom, respectively, returned to Latonia tonight. The four horses will be shipped back to that track Sunday morning. George Wingfield, owner of the Nevada Stock Farm, and his intimate friend. Gov. Frederick Balzar of Nevada, returned today from a trip to Lexington, Ky.. where they had gone to inspect the thoroughbred horses of Mr. Wingfield at Piatts farm. Mr. Wing-field was well pleased with the appe: ranee of his thoroughbred stock, notably the stallions General Thatcher and Honeywood. The two gentlemen expect to remain over to witness the Turf and Field Handicap, to be run at Arlington Park next Saturday. Judge John T. Ireland arrived from his home in Lexington. Stuyvesant Peabouy, president of the Lincoln Fields Jockey Club, was on hand with a party of friends to witness the running of the Rush Handicap, in which his Mino was a starter. William Mackenzie, who in 1897 trained the steeplechase division of the W. C. Whitney stable, and had in his charge the noted jumper Shillelagh, was a visitor today. Mr. Mackenzie, long retired from racing, is now engaged in the manufacturing business in Chicago.
