From the first the response on the
part of the Cleveland horsemen and
business men has been prompt and
generous. One cannot but admire the
gameness OF the officials of the Cleye-
land Driving Park company. They
have been faced with a tough PROPOSE
ton for the last three years, both To-
cally and in the Ohio Legislature. on
account of the opposition to pooselling
but have fought hard to pull off
Grand Circuit meeting.
Discusses Plan for Meet
Mr.. Devereux, discussing the plans
for a meeting at Cleveland, recently
said: The report has gone abroad
that there Will be no Grand Circuit
meeting at Cleveland this year, The
association here has been assalled In
every way but we are not quite ready
to lie down yet Maybe We cannot
have poolselling, but we are going to
try to have n Grand Circuit meeting
just the same. We are at work now
raising a subscription fund through
public-epirited citizens to cover the
loss that must come with such a meet
ing. We believe this support will be
most LIBERAL and. depending only on
a proper fund thus guaranteed we
purpose to hold a meeting at which
the amount offered, the liberal condl-
tions that Will prevail and the llttle
that vii! be asked OF the horses and
borsemen Will make 1t easy for every

Mr.. Rainey says of the great colt
II believe De Mund Will win a majority
of the good stakes he is In If he does
not meet with accident, and after he
outlives his usefulness as a racehorse
II Is my intention to put him in the
stud I am in racing TO stay, and /
want to breed the horses that bear my
colors."
De Mund has three more stake en-
gagements at Belmont Park II he
wins them all the net result will re-
pay good part of the $4,000 he is
reputed TO have cost Mr.. Rainey. THey

the National Stallion, June 2. and the
Eclipse, June 6. Last year the three
