The innovation proved so popular at Louisville that it was only natural that Latonia adopted the practice. Construction of a room for the taking of the pictures and their immediate development is under way just adjacent to the press box over the line of finish. . I Jockey Melvin Lewis, who a few years back ranked among the foremost American riders, plans to stage a comeback and has applied for a license to ride free lance here. Lewis has been absent from the saddle for nearly two years. ; C. W. Riedinger plans to campaign three head here, comprising King Carl, a three-year-old, and the two-year-olds Orac and Nancy R. The latter two will race under the colors of J. H. Riedinger. John McKeon checked in with the two-i year-old Quilt Pieces, which he brought from Louisville. George Brooks, who will train one of the largest strings that will participate in the Latonia racing, arrived Wednesday morning with nine head of the Shady Brook Farm Stable which is maintained by Theo. E. • Mueller of Louisville. Among the topnotch-ers of the stable are Visigoth and Skalkahoe. So great is the demand for stable room for the impending Latonia meeting that the stall committee has found it rather difficult to fulfill the wishes of many applicants. However, they are exerting every effort to , house the horses that desire to race here. James T. Clark, one of the officials who will serve during the Latonia meeting, arrived here Tuesday and joined the office force in the completion of the preliminary duties for the opening. Rosestem, Nemont, Brook Trout, Lilly I May, Recussion and Snow Queen comprise the string which a "Jack" Baker has in training at Latonia. Two two-year-olds, owned by C. R.

Seven horses are included in the string which Kirby Ramsey is conditioning for va- 1 | rious patrons. They are Big Gawk, Silver Fleet, Bay Memor, Mucho Gusto, Celiba, John Tio and Rhine.
