STANDING STALLS IMPRESS Trainers J. Healey and W. G. Merion to Employ Method at Respective Training Farms. MONTREAL, Que.. June 25.— Trainers J. Healey and W. G. Merlon are so impressed with the value of the standing stalls that are used by Marshall Cassidy in connection with the starting of many of the races on the Canadian circuit, that they have decided to employ the stalls at their training grounds. Mr. Healeys place, which is located at Glasgow, Dela., is an up-to-date establishment. Besides modern barns there is a training track seventy-two feet wide and three-quarters of a mile in circumference, with a chute. It is Mr. Healeys purpose to have these stalls built at the chute. He feels confident that it will be only a matter of a short time before the different associations throughout tne land will adopt the stalls and he wants to have his young horses accustomed to them. W. G. Merion, the young trainer who handled the horses of George W. Elkins, who raced in the nom de course of the Justa Farm Stable, is another who is enthusiastic over the stalls. The Justa Farm, which comprises some 600 acres, is located in the Huntington Valley in southeastern Pennsylvania. Merion is superintending the erection of an enclosed training track six laps to the mile.
