For the convenience of patrons the Mon-.real Jockey Club secured co-operation for the meeting to utilize the new Decarle Boulevard that adjoins the Blue Bonnets course. This new boulevard recently completed, aids traffic considerably and avoids congestion. William Walsh, who is handling the W. T. Trenholme stable, is considering retiring the good seven-year-old, Ella Rufus, after the season ends on Saturday at Blue Bonnets.
