There are already some seventy-five horses on the grounds that were shipped direct from New York to Connaught Park. A. G. Weston announced that at the conclusion of the Long Branch meeting he would ship his stable to Hamilton. Jopagan, ♦he star of the Weston string, is going along nicely and will be seen with the colors up, probably at Fort Erie.

Entries to both of these races close on Monday. John Turner, who has been engaged to act as racing secretary at Hamilton, is taking applications for stalls at that course.
