Jockey Club Officers Preparing
 for Winter Meet
THE DATES ARE ASSURED
Prospects Are Bright for the Success of the Racing, and Force of Men Employed at the Plant
 Is Increased.
BY HOMER GEORGE.

Hot Springs, Ark, December 12-(Spe- cial )-Encouraged by a positive assur- anee in a semi-official way that dates would be granted Hot Springs if the plant was completed by January 4 and a bond filed at that time, the Hot Springs Jockey club officers have redoubled their ener- gies and begun a campaign of rush work on their plant at Lawrence. Humphrey DeVereaux, the engineer in charge, has increased his force of laborers 100 per cent. and is pushing matters forward with ner- vous strenuosity.
 MT Devereaux is almost enthusiastic over the results of the Chicago meeting, and feels that the local track will be in fit shape even before January 1.-the date set for the next meeting of the Western Jockey club when the petition of the club will be finally disposed of. Not only Is he confident of getting ready in time, but visitors in the city familiar with race work feel the same way.
 Down in St. Louis, the headquarters of the general manager and the presiding judge, matters of financial import are be- ing given consideration. In reply to a
 
 George B. Sidener wired:
 "St. Louis, Mo, December 11.-Since our return from Chicago we have been busy devsing ways and means for disposing of bonds and stock still in hand and ar ranging bond for the Western Jockey clubs protection. Our success has been gratifying and when the stewards convene again January we will present them with everything asked of LIS Monday. At ss H.. .I..A. surances that dates would be given if we fulfilled conditons-namely, filing bond and completing plant.
 Force Doubled.
 MT Devereaux has returned to Hot Springs and doubled his force. He will push all work rapidly to completion so that before the meeting we will be ready We are glad the stewards insisted upon surety bond rather than the private bond offered. for the filing of such will be an advertisement for us and guarantee to horsemen. We will receive dates. rest assured-and they will be from February to March 19
 (Signed GEORGE B. SIDENER."
 Thus Hot Springs will have racing meeting even though it will not begin at the time first announced The friendly spirit shown by the stewards of the W. J. S. III contradlcton to that shown tow ards the Union Jockey club in St. Louis has pleased the friends of the club here and many pledges of loyalty are being heard on every side.
 While few knockers are still busy, the majority of local citizens are giving the club their support and are looking for ward to fine season of sport.
 The pool room interests have begun to change their attitude towards the track Billie Shannon is the first to come out in positive advocacy of it's completion and

HOT SPRINGS PLUNGERs.
Fortunes Won in the Pool Rooms
Daily,

Some very heavy play has been seen in
the pool rooms at Hot Springs this week.
Frank Lauterman Is the newest plunger.
He won not less than $4,000 on February
II. He began with $1,000 each way on
Aecolade at 8 and 3: beat Sheriff Bell and
O'Hagen. lost $4,000 on Nitrate, beat Hip
ponax, and then brought Off the biggest
coup of the season on Bronze Wing In the
fifth race at Ingleside.
Lauterman bet Billy Cowan 5000 on it.
With Leo Mayer. the Southern and Ken
lucky clubs he bet as much more.
Joe Yeager. the Cincinnati plunger and
bali player, had $1,000 to show on Stunts.
and bet 1t all back on Light Ball at to 1
and 3 to 1. Between Yeager and Lauter-
man the clubs were forced to put up with a
big losing day.
Honest John Kelly Is good winner up
to date. When Charley Ellison arrived he
made his presence felt on Light Ball. He
would have won a fortune on Alpaca the
day before but for the fact that the wires
were down and he did not receive the word
to play 1t.
John H. Carr and Phil DAILY have left Hot
Springs for New York. Charley Hughes.
who trained Herms before Mr. Bell bought
him, has gone to Memphis. He has great
hopes of achieving something with Mr..
Ziegler's horses this season. They will go
east early. There is no doubt about Yea
ger being an enormous winner-some say as
high as $4,000.

Cogswell as the second choice. Major Man

three lengths from Hayward Hunter, who
