Fifty cents will be the price of admission to the racing at Queens Park, half-mile track at London, Canada, it was announced today by the Orpen-Hare interests.

The London meeting gets under way on Wednesday, July 22, to last for seven or more days. Unlike last season, there will be no special reserved section, the price of admission being sufficient to permit patrons to occupy any seat in the grandstand. The infield will also be thrown open to the public. Enjoying a clear run without conflicting with any other race meeting in Canada, Queens Park is expected to attract more than enough horses. Racing Secretary Charles F. Henry is busy preparing his condition book for the meet-ing, and it will be ready to be released to the horsemen within the next few days.
