DATES FOR QUEENS PARK Meeting of Least Seven Days to Be Inaugurated July 22 Extension If Conditions Warrant. TORONTO, Ont., June 24. Dates for the meeting at Queens Park, Londons half mile track, were officially announced today from the offices of the Orpen-Hare interests. A meeting that will last at least seven days will be inaugurated Wednesday, July 22. If conditions warrant, it will be extended to Saturday, August 1, and perhaps to Monday, August 3, which would be eleven days. There is a remote chance that the full fourteen days may be taken advantage of. The idea of taking in Monday, August 3, would be because that day is a civic holiday. Racing was introduced in London last year after a lapse of some forty years, and was enthusiastically received. Indications are that it will prove even more popular this year. Racing secretary Charles F. Henry is busy writing his condition book and it is expected to be of such a nature as to attract I the best horses in these parts. I The Queens Park racing will not conflict with any other meeting in Ontario, both r Devonshire Park and Fort Erie closing ear-I lier, when horses from both these tracks I will be shipped to London.
