Hachmeister, who. is- at Saratoga looking after the stake nominations for his two tracks, are to tlie effect that many of the large Eastern stables, which formerly only raced, op the Bluegrass circuit in the spring, will be on hand next month as they have made a number of stake entries, especially in the two cup races. Likewise, many of tlie crack two-year-olds of the .East will be sent to Kentucky to contest in the ,000 added Queen City Championship Stake, which will be at one mile. ..,-. Applications for stabling room continue to pour in to tlie Douglas Park management and it is more than likely that this .course will house more horses in training than ever before. It has always been crowded to capacity but there have been any number of yearlings stabled within tlie gates, something which will not be permitted while the racing season is on. The Douglas Park racing will last only seven days, beginning on September 2G and running until October. 3. Churchill Downs will then follow witli a meeting of the same duration, opening October 4 and running until October 11. Then the scene will shift to Latonia, where a twenty-five days meeting will be held, starting October 13 and concluding November 30.
