1 BAINBRIDGE TURF NOTES i $ 3 Racing secretary Richard A Leigh has opened his office and, assisted by C. C. Campau, Richard A Leigh, Jr., and Sammy Wainwright, is wading through the applications for registration. He advises that, with the horses now at the Bainbridge track and at Thistle Down, together with those coming from Kentucky, Michigan, New York and West Virginia, most of which are on the way here or will be shipped early this week, he will have more than 700 horses from which to draw his fields. Superintendent Don Mooney has the grounds in order for the meeting and William Hudson, in charge of the track, says that it suffered not a bit from the winter weather and theie has not been enough rain to create as much as a tiny furrow in the course. The drought baked it plenty, but the heavy rain of last Friday did it a lot of good and the horses are working over it regularly. Sammy Wainwright, who will be on the force of the racing secretary during the meeting, has almost completely recovered from the injuries he received in the automobile wreck at Columbus. He shows the effects of it, but is still happy over his narrow escape. Managing director Joseph Cattarinich sends word that he will be in Cleveland Wednesday to shape up matters in the mu-tuel department and attend to other necessary matters in connection with the meeting. ♦
