? HIALEAH PARK GOSSIP 4 : ; and Six sight-seeing busses carried a section of the visitors to Hialeah Park on New Years day. Hundreds of interested citizens and tourists strolled over the grounds and marvelled at the richness and grace of the rebuilt course of the Miami Jockey Club. Mutuel clerks, planning to seek work at Hialeah Park, are warned not to come to Miami unless they received official notification, according to a bulletin issued by Mortimer Mahoney, director of Hialeah mu-tuels. There are enough applications on file from men on the grounds to man the mutuel department three times over. More horses worked over the Hialeah track Saturday than any day since the course was turned over to the horsemen. It is lightning fast, report the dockers. The best trials of the morning were turned in by two handicap aces, J. J. Curtis Flying Heels and W. M. Moores Vander Pool. Both stepped halves under fifty seconds handily. W. F. Kenny of the Wall Street Journal was a visitor at Hialeah Park Monday. Mr. Kenny is representing the New York financial publication in Florida and promises to be a frequent visitor to the local course when the Miami Jockey Clubs meeting opens here January 14. Racing secretary John S. Wallace announced that the condition book for the first ten days of the Hialeah Park meeting was off the press and that the stake book, containing the full list of nominations, is ready for distribution. There was a noticeable increase in the number of horses vanning over from Hialeah to Tropical Park .Monday. Most of these return to the Miami Jockey Club plant after filling their engagements at the other local course.
