CHURCHILL DOWNS N0TES1 S ? Tom Young has made another check with horsemen of stall reservations for the meeting and he estimated that the number of horses to assemble will be about equal to that of last year. All stalls at Churchill Downs have been assigned and a large number of horses will be quartered at Douglas Park. Another Louisville turfman active at Churchill Downs is Collis Ormsby, who, at one time, trained for the late Col. W. T. Waggoner, founder of the Three Ds Stock Farm. At the local track Ormsby has the two-year-old Shelby King and the three-year-old Jessie O. Weights for the Clark Handicap will be ready for release by secretary and handicap-per Wm. H. Shelley next Tuesday. This ,000 added fixture, as old as the Kentucky Derby, will be the stake attraction on Saturday, April 30, opening day, when it will have its sixty-fourth running. It will be decided over a mile and a sixteenth and a strong field is expected to start. Thirty-nine horses, three years old or older, were nominated. Morris Galvin, secretary and treasurer of the American Turf Association, came down from his home in Covington, Ky., Wednesday and conferred with Col. M. J. Winn.
