t WOODBINE PARK NOTES t $ e Ariel Cross, star handicap performer of the H. C. Hatch barn, augumented the local division of the establishment when he was unloaded at Woodbine Park Thursday morning. The son of Ariel suffered slight injuries at the start of the Hawthorne Handicap, which was his last engagement, and it is doubtful whether he will race for some time. The shipment arrived from Chicago. W. H. Bringloe, trainer of the second division of the H. C. Hatch stable, will take and draft of that stable to Western Canada, to be campaigned at Winnipeg, Vancouver and other points in that area. The horses have not been selected as yet. The shipment is not scheduled to leave until the close of the Thorncliffe Park meeting. J. P. Turner, Sr., who is serving in the stewards stand at Agawam Park near East Boston, and who will again serve as racing secretary during the coming meeting at Thorncliffe Park, sent word that he would reach here on Sunday. Turner will also serve as racing secretary at Hamilton and Fort Erie later in the season. The plan of the Thorncliffe Breeders Association to have one of the horsemen racing at the Leaside course to serve as the third steward each day during the meeting has drawn much praise from the racing fraternity. This innovation was inaugurated by general manager William R. Wppllatt during the summer meeting at Devonshire Park last year and it proved popular with horsemen and fans alike. Jockey H. Peden purchased his release papers from the H. C. Hatch stable and will ride free lance. A meeting of the Incorporated Canadian Racing Association will be held at 11:30 a. m. in the Administration Building at Woodbine Park, Friday. George Hay, official of the A. M. Orpen enterprises, was a visitor at Woodbine Park, Thursday, in the interest of the meeting to be staged at Long Branch. Mr. Hay stated that every stall has been requested and that the entire allotment, numbering 544, have been applied for.
