1 BAINBRIDGE TURF NOTES - - s Robert S. Eddy, Jr., was an arrival from Aurora and was greeted by friends. Joseph Cattarinich was also a late arrival and pitched into immediate action, assuming the reins of generalship over the Bainbridge spring meeting. Frank Grand arrived with his entire string of l-acers after a successful Aurora season. His line-up was headed by Grand Flight, two-year-old filly which is beginning to show signs of real progress. Word has been received from Emil Dene-mark that he is shipping six head from Chicago for racing at the Geauga County course. Guy Bedwell is on hand with a large string. So far he has been able to pick up only seconds and thirds, but railbirds assert that he will be among the leading owners if morning workouts are any criterion. Charles Campeau and Cliff Abbo returned to their positions in the judges stand follow ing the Aurora meeting. In their absence, their places were taken by Horace Wade and William Dangman. Shipments are expected from Kansas City, Lexington and Pimlico in the near future. Bill Faber, genial manager of the Bainbridge stables, is having his hands full but is find- , ing room for all late comers. A crowd of 7,500 was on hand opening day to celebrate the return of the thoroughbred to Ohio, and attendance since then has held up splendidly.
