KENILWORTH PARK FILLING UP Windsor Racing Season Scheduled to Open Saturday, July 9. Devonshire Meeting Follows That at Kenil-worth The Latter to Distribute ,600 Every Day. WINDSOR, Ont., June 29. The stables at Kenilworth Park are filling up with horses arriving for the opening of the Windsor thoroughbred season, Saturday, July 9 and continuing until July 16. The initial season at Devonshire starts the following week and extends to July 30. There will be two weeks racing at the same tracks in August. The condition book for the first week at Kenilworth calls for forty-nine races, with an added value to the purses amounting to nearly .0,000, or a daily average exceeding ,600. This cash distribution to owners compares most favorably with the expenditure this season at any of the other tracks in the country, East and West. " There will be no dearth of racing material as the reservations for stalls have been as numerous as they have been any previous season at Windsor. There will be heavy shipments from the Toronto tracks, while many of the horses racing at Hamilton the last week will be sent to Kenilworth Park. The outstanding feature of the opening day, July 9, will be the historic Kenilworth Handicap, one mile and a sixteenth. For this event such good performers as Broadway Lights, Omareen, Bubbling Out, Bokie B., Storm, Uluniu, Solace, Dark Mission, Open Hearth and many others contesting this spring in the handicap divisions will be available. The class of horses racing over the Toronto ovals the last few weeks has been exceptionally good, thus indicating an interesting turf revival in the Windsor thoroughbred area. Preparations for the opening weeks sport have been in progress for several weeks and Kenilworth puts on a bright appearance, with the track in the best of condition and now ready for the best efforts of the horses which will be seen in contention in July and August. Cheered by the success of the Toronto tracks this year, president A. M. Or-pen and secretary W. R. Norvell look for most successful meetings at Kenilworth Park. Mr. Norvell expects R. W. R. Cowie will ship his Kings Plate winner Queensway this way for the Kenilworth Handicap and other races for Canadian-breds during the meeting.
