DETROIT MEETING NEAR END . Mutuel Handle Thirty Per Cent Higher Than Record Year. Moslem Temple Stakes Next Saturdays Headliner Crack Western Two-Ycar-Olds to Compete. DETROIT, Mich., June 16 The Detroit meeting, which is showing a 30 per cent increase over any year since the revival of racing here, is moving on to a brilliant climax, with two of its most attractive stakes on the schedule for next Saturday and the following Saturday. The Moslem Temple Stakes, for two-year-olds, with ,000 added, at five and one-half furlongs, to be run next Saturday, has attracted the most brilliant field of almost any two-year-old race of the year and, as many of the leading candidates are either on the grounds or on their way here, the Fair Grounds will witness one of the most brilliant contests of the year. With Planetoid, J. T. Taylors speedy filly, and two of the Charles T. Fishers Dixiana Stud here from Latonia, and the promise that Challite and possibly Teddy Green will be shipped from Hawthorne by H. A. Cross, the race has many possibilities. It takes on international importance with the entry of Rebecca Lee, the fast filly in the E. F. Seagram stable. Dixiana has entered Manager Mike, Matas Brother and Crows Flight, and it is probable that Manager Mike and Matas Brother will be the ones to go to the post. Mrs. Charles F. Howard of San Francisco, whose horses are already on the ground, has three in Sun Frolic, Smart Agnes and Cora-mine. Hal Price Headley named The Queen and Clingendaal. Robert McGarvey, trainer of the Milky Way Stable, nominated Nations Taste and Reaping Reward. A. Robertson and L. Balaski will ride them. The Bomar Stable nominated Yellow Tulip and Peace River. The complete list of entries follows: Challite, Teddy Green, Coramine, Sun Frolic, Smart -Agnes, Rebecca Lee, Manager Mike, Matas Brother, Crows Flight, Yellow Tulip, Peace River, The Queen, Clingendaal, Nations Taste, Reaping Reward, Planetoid, Miss Dolphin, Bright Land, Whiscenda, Gene Wagers, Oddesa Girl, Old Forester and. Little Upset. The day on which the stake will be run has been made Shriners Day, and leading members of the various temples throughout the state are sending invitations to all of their members to attend. The arrangements are in charge of state racing commissioner Joseph D. Fiost, who is a member of the Shrine. The Pontchartrain Handicap, at a mile and a sixteenth, with ,000 added, to be run Saturday, June 27, also promises to produce a brilliant contest. The entry of Roman Soldier was received today and Phil Reuter has announced his intention of stopping off here on his way to Arlington Park. With Whopper, Azucar and Stand Pat already on the grounds, the nucleus of a great contest is in sight. Marynell returned from Latonia today and with other useful horses of minor class on the grounds a good field is promised.
