He had been in ailing health for some years. Howard Oots, prominent Kentucky breeder and owner of a number of horses racing here in charge of his nephew, Howard Wells, was at Lincoln Fields Tuesday. He plans to remain threee or four days. He is very enthusiastic over the prospects for racing in Kentucky this fall, and he said if interest around Lexington is any indication the Keeneland Associations meeting will be eminently successful. Louisville, too, should have a good meeting, he believes. C. Bruce Head, though not entirely recovered, was well enough Monday to resume his position in the stewards stand at Lincoln Fields. The two-year-old filly Wise Dart, owned by the Everglades Stable, was transferred to Lexington by trainer John S. Ward. Jockey Stuart Vail, one of the leading riders during the Beulah Park meeting, and jockey R. G. Cooper joined the local riding brigade. Both Vail and Cooper came from Akron. Four head, including the veteran, Jack Murphy, all owned by Glenn Corbett. arrived over the week-end from Akron. They were sent directly to Sportsmans Park to await the opening of the meeting there next Monday. Condition books for the Churchill Downs meeting opening Saturday, October 31, arrived at Lincoln Fields Tuesday. Another who will take in the Keeneland Asociations meeting at Lexington is P. L. Kelley, who plans to ship to that Blue Grass point at the close here. The horse Jere arrived here recently from Beulah Park and was turned over to L. Dilger to train. Jere is owned by A. T. Wooster. C. E. Dale has taken over the training of French Knight for K. Mayer. C. F. Dris-coll was the former trainer. J. Benedetto has succeeded A. Foster as trainer of Gulfelano, owned by J. J. Cook.
