Arlington Park, the common meeting ground for Americas greatest racehorses, will open its annual meeting of thirty days Monday with the largest and most prominent stables and outstanding jockeys in the country competing. The meeting will be featured by a stake race every day, a policy never before attempted by any track, and will be distinguished by the disbursement of approximately 50,000 to the winning owners. Every outstanding thoroughbred still in training has been nominated for one or more of the Arlington stakes and assurance has been received, Otto W. Lehmann, prjsident of the Arlington Park Jockey Club, said today, that the leading horses will accept their engagements at the beautiful northside course. BIG FIELD FOR FEATURE. Twenty-three high class racers have been named to go in the Arlington Inaugural Handicap, which will feature the opening days proceedings at the attractive plant and the race should be a thriller. Jamestown, the Eastern star, which is making his first public appearance in some time, has been working sensationally and will likely be one ot the favorites, while Polydorus, sensation of the Washington Park meeting, will likewise have a large following. Although the race is at seven furlongs, Gallant Knight, Spanish Play, Risque and other stars will not be lacking in admirers and the inaugural seems to be a fitting feature to usher in what gives promise of being a most successful meeting. Three entries have been named in the Inaugural, which carries ,000 added and will have its third running Monday. The entries are The Nut and Epithet, racing for the Warm Stable; Hyman and Supreme Sweet, representing the Chicago-owned Superior Stable, and Masked Knight and Dr. Free-land, which will be coupled as the W. R. Coe and B. Creech entry. Silverdale, winner of the two previous Inaugural Handicaps, is among those named, but as this six-year-old appears to have gone back in class since last season, he does not loom as a dangerous contender. After the Inaugural, the next Important stake is the Arlington Oaks, which is to be offered next Saturday. This 5,000 added mile and a furlong event may establish the queen of the three-year-old fillies in that it is expected to attract the two great rivals, Top Flight and Evening, as well as Suntica, winner of the Kentucky and Illinois Oaks; Kakapo, Canron and Late Date. Top Flight, Continued on nineteenth vaae. EQUINE ARISTOCRATS Continued from first page. loser of only one race in two seasons, is fresh from her victory in the Coaching Club American Oaks and Evening defeated smart colts in the Florida Derby and Chesapeake Stakes. For the Fourth of July, racing secretary; Joseph McLennan has arranged a great program featured by the Starj and Stripes Handicap, a 0,000 added race that has attracted the entry of every prominent older horse now ready to race.

These horses also are in the Arlington Gold Cup, another 0,000 added fixture which is to be run Saturday, July 9. The conditions of the Gold Cup call for the horses to carry weight-for-age, which means the imposts on three-year-olds will be 114 pounds and for older horses 126 pounds.

The fourth running of the Classic, Arlingtons most famous race, is set for Saturday, July 16.
