AURORA PLANT BEAUTIFUL Exposition Park Spick and Span in New Paint Stables Filling Quickly. AURORA, 111., April 19. Aisitors here tomorrow on Easter Sunday, and there are many expected if the day is pleasant, will be agreeably surprised at the appearance of Exposition Park, where the Illinois racing season of 1930 will be inaugurated May 1. The entire plant has been repainted and is resplendent in its bright new dress, symbolic of the spring season. AAith several hundred horses already quartered here and more arriving daily, all the stalls on the grounds will be filled before the end of the coming week. Never since this track was first opened has been the outlook been brighter for a successful meeting. The adverse weather conditions of the past week have cut down training activities to quite an extent, horsemen at the local track having kept their charges to light exercise under the shed rows. Among the most recent arrivals were the horses of AV. Bray of AVaterloo, Iowa, and three home bred 2-year-olds, the property of Mrs. Lillian Gibson of Nashville, Tenn. Stall reservations have been received from S. Ross, who contemplates sending ten head here in charge of trainer U. S. AVishard. T. B. Matthews is shipping seven head from Robinson, 111., where they have been wintered. Mr. Matthews registers five 2-year-olds among the shipment.
