j AURORA TURF NOTES The remainder of the horses of Mrs. A. M. Creech and those of Clarence Davison are expected to leave Texas the latter part of next week. Both of these establishments have a string of ten each quartered at Aurora. Among the important telegrams received Saturday by racing secretary Richard A. Leigh were those from R. T. Watts who applied for stalls for the horses of L. Beyda of Chicago, and another message conveyed the word that Paul Kelley is shipping nine head to Exposition Park. Both consignments "are due early Monday morning. Included in the shipment which Kelley plans to send are the performers Fanfern, Whippet- Cracker, All Devil, Los Molonis, Palasa, Best Buck, Chiclard, Blind River and Love Sick. The Beyda stable representatives are as follows: Joe Flores, Easy Sailing, Irish Wake, Colonist, Whoa Back, Courant, Malolo and Dodiodo. It is expected that Chris J. Fitz Gerald who will be an associate in the stewards - stand with John T. Ireland and Thomas C. Bradley, and who is appointed to represent the Illinois Racing Commission, will j probably call a meeting of that body of officials to pass on the vast number of ap- j plications submitted by the jockeys, trainers and others who have to obtain privileges to ply their vocations at the course. Jockey T. P. Martin, who staged a comeback last winter at New Orleans, and whose riding was so good that it brought about much favorable comment from a number of the horsemen, is busy galloping horses for the Hoffman Bros., and expects to attain the form which enabled him to lead the riders in this vicinity at most every track a few years back. J. C. Gillem, Kentucky owner, and trainer is rather enthused over the four juveniles he has in training at Aurora and if they come through with the same brand of speed which they are displaying in their morning trials the Gillem colors should be conspicuous in the baby races.
