t THORNCLIFFE TURF NOTES k s The sympathy of horsemen is extended to trainer A. E. Watts in the loss of his mother. The late Mrs. Watts was the aunt, of R. P. Watts, trainer of the extensive stable of Mrs. E. Denemark. H. Stuart purchased the four-year-old Canadian-bred King Emperor from A. J. Halli-well. It is the intention of making ti saddle horse out of the son of Old Koenig. Hobnob and Inarage, a pair that Fritz Weiner wintered at Agincourt, Ont., will be shipped to Montreal on Thursday to join the other members of the F. Weiner string. Beau of the West, one time star of the Canadian-bred handicap division and which for the past few years served as lead pony for the Seagram Stable, was presented to the Hunt Club to be used as a saddle horse. Two carloads of thoroughbreds arrived from Baltimore. They are made up of members of the Tedlu Stable, A. Hullcoat, C. R. Middleton. and J. P. Mayberry stables. J. P. Turner arrived from Bowie and took up his duties as racing secretary at Thorn-cliffe Park. Five of the original seven races called for in the Thorncliffe condition book, failed to fill and five extra races had to be substituted. Charles F. Henry, well-known racing official on Illinois tracks was a visitor of the day. The four Canadian-bred juveniles Kings-wood, Sleaford, Sam Worthy and Speygold, the property of W. H. Wright are the latest to be taken down with the coughing epidemic. Howard Deimler will take over the training duties of the stable for the balance of the Canadian season. There have been sixteen races run during the Ontario Jockey Club meeting exclusively for Canadian-breds. The George M. Hendrie stable will be shipped to Hamilton Tuesday. The string had to forego the other local meetings on account of sickness. It has been reported that the Seagram Stable will purchase some mares and go into the breeding end of the game again on an extensive scale. Young Kitty is the only brood mare on the farm at the present time. This news is gratifying, as it appeared for a time as if the popular black and yellow silks of this establishment would be lost to Canadian racing. Ralph Lentini arrived from Sportsmans Park with Donate, Fly On and Blighter. Chick Lang is expected to return to the saddle In a few days. He is at Thorncliffe with the stable of T. L. Evans.
