I LOUISVILLE TURF NOTES $ The horses trained by Waldo Freeman and several smaller strings were reported in a car due at Douglas Park from New Orleans. Another large influx of horsemen and jockeys is due Monday from Hot Springs, where the meeting closed Saturday. Several racing officials, including William Hamilton, starter at Keeneland and Churchill Downs, and Larry Boganschutz, who fills important positions at the same Kentucky tracks, are expected at the same time. James T. Clark, racing official, who lives in Louisville, is seen at the Downs daily, and when racing secretary W. A. Shelley opens his offices Clark will assist him in handling some of the pre-meeting details. While the premature blooming of some of the smaller plants because of the mild weath-1 er of the past few weeks forces him to alter his program for the horticultural beautifica-tion of Churchill Downs, superintendent Tom Young is well-prepared to meet the situation. While the warm weather brought out thousands of tulips and other plants, Young has the blooming of some 45,000 others which still are in greenhouses, gauged so they will -be in full flower at Derby time. Most of these other plants, however, will not be set out until just before the meeting opens.
