KENILWORTH PARK STAKES «. Two Holidays Included Among Seven Days at Windsor Track. ■♦ Kenilworth Ilandicap, With ,000 Added, Most Valuable of All-Age Handicaps on Canadian Turf. • WINDSOR, Ont., June 25.— The first summer meeting at Kenilworth Park, starting June 30, will enable patrons of thoroughbred racing to enjoy their favorite sport on two Saturdays, Dominion Day and the Fourth of July. To conform with a week of interesting sport the holiday dates will be featured by special races worth witnessing. On the opening day, Saturday, June 30, the Walkerville Handicap, at a mile and seventy yards, with ,500 added, will be the piece de resistance and will undoubtedly attract a field of the best handicap horses seen on the Windsor course this year. On Monday, July 2, on which Dominion Day is to be celebrated, the Sarmia Handicap, for three-year-olds and upward, will be run, the weights for this to be announced the Saturday morning previous. The Kenilworth Handicap, with ,000 added, at a mile and a sixteenth, will be the Fourth of July feature. This is one of the most valuable of the all-aged handicap affairs on the dominion tracks this year and secretary W. R. Norvell anticipates a field of ten or twelve of the fastest horses now in training in the list of starters announced in the weights and declarations on the clay preceding the race. The Detroit Handicap, for three-year-oldg and upward, at a mile and seventy yards, with ,000 added, will be the outstanding race on Saturday, July 7. The Kenilworth Park Club has subscribed 1,900 in added money for the forty-nine races scheduled for decision during the seven days, an amount equal to the most liberal in other years at Windsor. The daily purse distribution will range in value from ,800 to 1,400, the maximum sum being the prize money on Independence Day. The horses now stabled at the various Windsor tracks will be augmented by fresh arrivals from Long Branch, Dufferin Park and from Arlington Park, Chicago, during the next week. There will be an equine population of nearly 500 at Kenilworth, an adequate number of horses to provide excellent sport during the seven days.
