The most prom- -islng development in American tu'rfdom H In many a day was the action of "Louis H W. Winans of England, In entering two H Kuropean bred trotters in the stakes of the Grand Circuit meeting which will H take place in the summer at the ICmplre tH City track. Mr. WInans is one of the iJ foremost turfmen of the world, and last iH year his horse, Sir Martin, was the fav- ll Oilte In the classic derby at Epsom il .Downs, Ills entries in Nov. 'York are ll Dora, a mare, by E. L.. Robinson, 2:17i. H and Willy, a gelding, by Wilburn M.. il 2:27. Both were bred and raised in Auk- IH trla of American stock. Willy has been iH entered in thu speedway stakes, in which H only umateurs may drive and it Is ex- lH peeled that Mr. WInans will cross the jB Atlantic to attend the meeting and try 'H for the S250U prize. iH Mr. Winans's stable is the firr.t of IH European trotters ever to campaign In H America and It is hoped that he will be tl followed by others The prestige lent by jl the name of Winans Is a great deal. Just 1 to give an Insight to the class of his ,H horses, he recently refused an offer of H $50,000 for his stallion. Allen Winter. Eacing in Missouri.

The fact that a seven-days' race meeting meet-ing Is being held In Vancouver and the further fact that recently an important horso show was held there, Is evidence that the turf Is enjoying great popularity populari-ty In tho norWiwcst. Robert Leighton. manager of tho Vancouver mcotlng which opened yesterday, announces that another seven-day mcotlng will start July 1. Not long ago Samuel W. Tuvlor. manager man-ager of tho Now York Slate .Horse show, returned to this city from the Pacific northwest, whero ho acted as tho principal prin-cipal Judge at tho Vancouver horse show. Mr. Taylor announces that Interest in horses in that section Is at a very high temperature. In speaking of tho show at Vancouver. Mr. Taylor says: "A horse show at Vancouver. B. C. sounds like a far cry. In distance and tlmo period It suggests an equestrian entablature en-tablature on the Parthenon, the ancient tomplo of Athens. But In cosmopolitan charactor, catholic spirit of srfbrtsman-shlp srfbrtsman-shlp and very latest touch of enterprise It Is on a par with New York, London and Paris. This Is not hyperbole. It is a fact. Although the city contains not Quito 150,000 Inhabitants, it has within Its conilnes a dynamic force of citizenship citizen-ship that impels action and attracts with the power of gravity. "The show is only three years old, tho first one having been held in a barrack, but It has now blossomed forth in a new .building, erected specially for tho purpose, pur-pose, which was filled every day and evening with the cream of the northwest's north-west's population. Nearly 1200 entries had been received, and thoso, shown at morning, afternoon and evening sessions, wore of tho highest classes of horses and ponies of every breed." Latonia to Open. The mooting at Lntonia is scheduled to open Monday. Just what success It will have la doubtful, although judging from (ho success of tho Kentucky meetings thero would be no cause for complaint. I havo heard much criticism of tho starting start-ing methods employed on tho Kentucky tracks. Some of the turfmen who came to this city from Louisville and Lexington Lexing-ton pronounced the walk-up start without with-out the use of assistants' whips a rank failure. These men claim that a return to the old method which allowed the starter to use his own discretion would give better satisfaction all the way round. H. D. Brown, general manager of tho Jacksonville, Fla., race track, announced an-nounced recently that ho intends building a new race track in South America probably prob-ably near the city of Buenos Ayres In Argentine Republic. Tho Argentine cap-ltnl cap-ltnl already enjoys ono of the finest rac tracks and speedways In South America, but Interest in tho sport Is so Keen there that it is believed another kI1 c would" bo supported.
