He assured horsemen that Jefferson Park track will be kept in best possible condition throughout the remainder of the winter, thereby providing excellent training facilities for the 400 horses quartered there and pointing for engagements at the Fair Grounds. Jockey W. Dellow, was unable to get within the weight limit on Galahad and when he tipped the scales at 122 pounds, decided to withdraw his application for a license here. C.

Jockey Joe Cavens, who has been inactive for some time, will resume riding Wednesday. Charley Porreto, "Buddy" Ford and Harry Gregson, of the New Orleans detective force, are detailed to the Fair Grounds and their presence is the "stay away" signs for the light fingered gentry. A. P. Canale, owner of Light Mint, winner the Christmas Handicap, and other horses racing here, arrived this morning from his home at Memphis. He was accompanied by Denny Bufford, also well known to the racing fraternity. They will remain for about ten days.
