NEW TRACK READY NEXT WEEK Rush Work of Enlarging Beulah Park, at Columbus, Ohio. Approximately One Hundred Horses Now Stabled on Grounds Meeting Opening On May 15. COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 7. Though the new mile track at the Beaulah Park Jockey Club will not be open for training until next week, close to 100 horses already are on the grounds and awaiting the start of the Ohio turf season on Saturday, May 15. In the vanguard of the arrivals at the Grove City course was the Motor City Stable of Detroit In charge of trainer H. C. Wolfe. Among the dozen thoroughbreds in the car which carried this stable from Hot Springs was the good sprinter, Appealing, and Montague, a two-year-old which has won three races in four starts and finished second in his other effort. This stable which campaigned at Santa Anita during the winter will be rested pending the opening of the twenty-five day season at Beulah Park. IMPROVEMENTS PROGRESSING. The 00,000 program of improvement at the Grove City course is progressing rapidly. Painters have followed in the wake of the carpenters in the grandstand and that structure and the new clubhouse will be done up in green and white. All stables and other buildings will get a coat of paint and old ivory is the color selected for them. With the carpenters on hand, plans are being formulated to add at least 100 stalls to the stabling facilities at the course. These are sorely needed as reservations already have taxed accommodations to capacity. Except for the chutes at the head of each stretch for the start of six furlongs and mile and one-quarter races, the track is completed. It has been harrowed deep and will be ready for training purposes next week. Sand has been added to the natural loam of the course which is singularly free from gravel. It was necessary to move 2,300 yards of soil from the infield next to the upper turn which gives perfect vision from the grandstand.
