BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 28 Jim Milton, general manager of the Havana American Jockey Club, today received, instructions from Al Levey, president of that orgaaniza-tion, to take horses off the cars at Oriental Park.

The first shipment, one of three carloads, will leave Saturday and the next the following Tuesday. They will proceed in that order until the close at Charles Town when general shipments will start from this area. It is not anticipated that the heaviest influx to Oriental Park will come until January, with the close at Tropical Park. Reservations for horses which will participate in that Miami meeting already are in excess of two hundred.

"Well have enough feed on hand by this Saturday to take care of 450 horses," he informed the writer "and other shipments will follow at regular intervals. Trainers need have no fears on this score." 1
