DADE PARK OUTLOOK GOOD Expect 700 for Meeting Beginning August 12 Track in Splendid Condition. HENDERSON, Ky., Aug. 2 With more than two hundred horses quartered at the Dade Park course of the Dade Park Jockey Club, and daily arrivals increasing the colony, Ji J. Graddy, assistant steward, who is here allotting the stalls, expects to have 700 horses here, for the opening of the twenty-five day meeting starting Saturday, August 12. Judge Graddy expects one of the biggest shipments from Latonia, while among the stables now on the grounds are James C. Ellis, Carr Bros., French Lick Springs Stable and others. This is the first time in several years that Thomas Taggarts French Lick Springs Stable has been at Dade Park and it also marks the initial appearance of Carr Bros. However, C. H. "Tobe" Trotter, who trains the Carr horses was here last season with J. B. Respess stable and prior to that campaigned a stable for O. Torrell. The racing strip, as a result of recent rains, is now at its best and, like other river bottom tracks, the spring floods left a slit on the track that has greatly improved the oval. Brownell Berryman, who returns as racing secretary; Fred Burton, his assistant, and Thomas C. Bradley, presiding steward, are expected here next week.
