Especial to the Palladium

Cincinnati, O., October Gone
week from next Saturday the Latonia
Jockey Club will open the gates for
twenty-five day meeting. While this
appears a little late In the year the
meeting covers practically the same
period of time it has in the past three
years. Each one of these meetings
was very successful.
Racing was at an exceedingly low
ebb in this section when the present
management got hold of the Latonia
track, and there were a great many
obstacles to be overcome before the
glories Of this one-time great racing
point could be restored. To make the
sport attractive good horses are nee
essary, and at the same time there
must be good jockeys to guide them,
and both of these would fall fiat if
the race-going public did not have
chance to have the proper facilities
for speculation. To obtain this until
such a period where Latonia will
stand alone as she did of yore the
fall meetings must come a bit late,
as then there will be no trouble to
secure everything that is calculated
to make a firstclass race meeting.
Next year, with Memphis and Nash
vile both clamoring for fall dates,
Latonia may be compelled to begin
earlier.
The present indications are that
the stable room will again be taxed
to it's utmost this fall, as there are
over 200 horses at the track at the
present time and over double that
number have applied for stable room.
AS North st. Louis and Kansas City
will be finished after the game is
week old across the river, many that
are participating in the racing at
those points will visit Latonia before
going into winter quarters or before
shipping to some Southern racing
point.
Rome Respess, Joe Pugh and sew
eral big stables from Worth will be
here this week, and Nose Golblatt,
who has won no end of purses at st.
Louis this summer, will ship to La
tonia on Wednesday.
Last fall one of the most interest
ing features Of the meeting was Dick
Welles's trial against time, in which
he made the circuit of the course in
/ :3S, clipping off 1 ga seconds of the
track record
This year Dick has been on the all
ing list and Secretary Hopper has
been casting his eye around to Sc
cure another speed marvel to make
the trial. He is especially anxious as
Latonia is now one of the fastest
tracks in the West. Tokalon and Bear
catcher are the horses that he would
like to secure, one or both, and 81 900
will be hung up for either one to 60
against Wick Welles s mark on a fast
track, with a substantial addition
should the latter's time be beaten.
Oiseau, who will most likely be ship
pcd " IAdlol1d DeIole' SoIuS luto Will
ter quarters may be sent against the
mark if the permission of his owner,
j. G. Greener, can be secured. This
colt is now the acknowledged cham
pion of his age and has world of
speed. and at the same time possesses
the ability to stay, and with a light
impost he should undoubtedly clip
off the present record, if
he did not succeed in hanging up a
new one
The old officials will again hold
forth Judge Charlie Price will pre-
side with Judge Jack Price as his as
sociate and Judge Perkins as steward
of the Western Jockey Club. Hoffman
and Dwyer will do the starting and
the cher affairs are in the hands of
Secretary Hopper and his assistant,
John Dillon.
