STALLS FOR STAKES ENTRIES Latonia Management Provides Special Quarters for Horses to Start in Feature Events. LATONIA, Ky., June 10.— That the six stakes to be decided during the thirty-one days of Latonia racing, starting Saturday, June 27, will have large and brilliant fields was signified today when the management set aside seventy-five stalls for the care of the charges racing elsewhere but expected here for their stake engagements. Heretofore it has become necessary for these horses to go hither and thither when they arrived from other points, but this year quarters will be ready for them upon their arrival. A majority of the horses remaining at Chicago will be here at one time or another to contest in one or more of the six stakes, and although they remain only a couple of days, it was always necessary to select quarters for them. Immediately upon notification of their coming, track superintendent Charles Nolte will have their quarters prepared and when they come off the cars they will be led to their respective quarters. With so many horses to quarter and the necessity of adding two new barns so as to care for the fashionable stables that have reserved stabling accommodations, the management deemed it advisable to add this new feature to its already generous policy of quartering as many horses as stalls will allow. Of the more than 1,300 stalls allotted, the list of reservations reveals that such leading stables as R. S. Clark, A. Baker, A. B. Hancock, J. W. Parrish, A. A. Baroni, George Collins, A. L. Ferguson, J. J. Flanigan, Mrs. Payne Whitney, Gallaher and Combs, Dr. R. L. Woodward? Henry Yeiser, Polk Laf f oon, Lon Jones, Herbert M. Woolf, Charles T. Fischer, Herbert P. Gardner, Clyde Van Dusen, W. H. Whitehouse, R. W. Collins, C. V. Whitney, Mose Goldblatt. E. R. Bradley, Charles Nuckols. J. B. Respess. Gorham Brothers, The Valley Lake Stable, Lair and Parrish, Desha Breckinridge. Jouett Shouse, Brown-ell Combs, Lucas B. Combs, Kenneth McDowell, F. P. Letellier, A. B. Letellier, A. Pelleteri, B. B. Jones, Charles Bacharach, J. O. Keene, Baylor Hickman. W. F. Knebel-kamp, J. Cal. Milam, Harned Brothers, Harry S. Hart, G. M. Hendrie, H. P. Head-ley, J. P. Edwards, Jack Howard. Sam Furst, and others too numerous to mention have requested stalls. When the gates are thrown open for the meeting, some of the largest stables to be quartered on the grounds will be those of J. B. Respess, who now has twenty-five quartered here, Mrs. Payne Whitney, who asked for twenty-five stalls, T. Clark, Hancock and Baker combinations have reserved twenty-five stalls, Clyde Van Dusen will have an equal number for himself, Fisher and Gardner, Danny Stewarts barn will contain twenty-three for Herbert M. Woolf, while Mose Goldblatt has twenty-eight for himself and C. V. Whitney. There are many requests for as many as fifteen stalls, while the long list contains many eight- and ten-stall applications. Of the many requests there is hardly one that does contain two or more stake eligibles. Prospects for the best meeting since the depression were never better, and with the greatest array of horses quartered here in years, Latonia appears well on its way to keep its shining place in the racing world.
