, I ! 1 I i I i - 1 i . . ; - f - 1 t 1 r l t s e e - f 1 a T | BLUE BONNETS NOTES f $ # MONTREAL, Que., June 15. Announcement was made that the jockey fee at Dorval Park would be for a losing and 5 for a winning mount. Even Up, a two-year-old in the C. V. Whitney stable, was jumped on in his race here on Saturday, and was fortunate in escaping with slight injuries. An effort is being made to secure the services of John Turner to act as racing secretary and judge at the Mount Royal meeting. Jim Walsh, who was in charge of the certificate system at the Hialeah course in Florida last winter, left . for Boston last night to arrange details for the opening of the meeting to be given at Salem, N. H. A ruling was issued by the stewards re- quiring Gallopin Diamond to have as part of his equipment in the future, a muzzle. In his last race at Ottawa, Gallopin Diamond savaged Jug of Gold and attempted to pull jockey Cooper out of the saddle. A report, which came from Hamilton, had it that one of the stables at the Hamilton Jockey Club course had been destroyed by fire. The improvements at Kings Park are about completed, but that sharp corner at the first turn still remains. New stalls are being built at the Mount Royal course, Cyclone wire fences have been constructed around both courses. Jack Whyte is sending the big string he is handling for Willis Sharpe Kilmer from here to Hamilton at the conclusion of the Blue Bonnets meeting. W. J. Norton, who is handling the horses that are racing for the Eastland Stock Farm, has completed arrangements to leave for Salem, N. H. Fred Littlefield, the old-time jockey, who is here with his nephew, Earl Waldon, was the one who held the winning ticket on the dual mutuel on Saturday.
