L0NGACRES TRACK PREPARED Mark Time Until Opening of Meeting on June 1 4 Two Hundred Horses on Ground. SEATTLE, Wash., June 5. More than 200 horses are now stabled at Longacres, and special carload shipments are arriving almost hourly from California and Middle West racing centers, which are expected to swell the number of horses to 500 before the Inaugural Handicap, June 14. The crack stable of Mrs. C. B. Irwin of Cheyenne, Wyo., trained by Tom Smith, is now at Longacres and includes the stellar performer Gerard, and also Oriley, the latter five-year-old owned by Smith himself. Instigator and Jane Packard are two other highly-rated thoroughbreds in the Irwin stable. The Gaeanee string, owned by Mrs. Gladys Edris of Seattle, which did so well on California tracks, headed by Black Forest and Risky Miss, with nine others in the string, has been stabled in their brand new barns at the White River Valley track. The track is humming with activity as the trains and vans arrive with new shipments and their trainers and their assistants get settled down for the summer.
