. BEULAH PARK NOTES f 4 s Plans are under way for the second running of the Chester Stands Memorial Handicap at the spring meeting, May 4 to May 30, inclusive.

Smith got in from Oaklawn Park with Mica Rock, Bon Champ, St. Mica, Flodur, Hallucinator, West Wichita, Beaver County, Phrixus and others. The Darby Dan Stable, owned by John Galbreath of Columbus, unloaded the topflight handicap performer, Francesco, the two-year-old Darby Dean, Time and Again and others. Jockey Jack Long, who rides for the Darby Dan establishment, also was an arrival at Grove City, motoring with his family from Florida. Robert Dean, who topped the riders at the fall meeting last year, probably again will be seen in action for the divison of the I. J. Collins stable under trainer Carter Everitt here. E. W. Stribling and Owen Pons have been appointed associate stewards for Beulah Parks spring meeting. They will serve with Thomas C. Bradley, presiding steward. Stribling has acted as associate steward at previous Beulah Park meetings, while Pons succeeds Tom Sanford, who is now trainer for the Brown Hotel Stable of Louisville, Ky.

Carter Everitt will be in charge of ten of Collins horses here, while Al Miller will remain in charge of the main stable at Churchill Downs. J. W. "Red" Wilson, apprentice rider, will accompany the stable of his contract em- ployer, C. N. Finch, when he ships here after the Keeneland meeting. Wilson is a Cincinnati boy.
