Bury is busily engaged in preparing the condition books and hopes to have them ready for distribution during the Connaught Park meeting. H. Neustetter has decided to remain over for the meeting at Long Branch and then will ship his string to Hamilton to await the opening of that meeting. Jockey Louis Schaefer will remain over to ride at Long Branch. His riding engagements will be made by F. Normile. Plain Ben, Horatia. Bokie B. and Miss Pandora were added to the Canadian Racing Associations schooling list for bad post manners. Fair Bill, in the stable of James Arthur, which went slightly amiss during the Havre de Grace meeting, is coming to hand slowly and may be seen in colors during the midsummer racing. Jockey Charles "Chick" Lang, who finished as the second leading rider during the recently conducted meeting at Kings Park, was an arrival from Montreal to join the riding colony at Long Branch. Lang recently made his return to the saddle after several years absence and is riding at a lighter weight than when he rode Reign Count for J. D. Herta in most of the latter*s winning races in the United States and abroad. ► The Doctor, which raced for C. J. Patchett in the final race at Thorncliffe Saturday, went back to his former owner when L. Haymaker secured him for his entered price of ,500. William Irvine, who went to Bainbridge Park to saddle Springsteel Saturday, which he trains for S. W. Labrot, returned from that section and immediately took charge Of the racers that are quartered here. Spring-steel came out of his race in good shape and is being returned to Toronto.
