The opinion of the leading drivers and
owners in the East about the kite-shapcd
track seems to be that while for time records
it is much faster than the oval tracks, the
public, who want to see as much of the race
as possible. will not accept it with favor.
Many of them consider that unless the kite
shape is adopted as a standard form by the
National Association, performances made
over it should constitute a bar and not
record. There is, however, no rule against
such tracks nor in favor of any form of
track. The question will probably be fully
considered at the next meeting OF the Asso-
citation.

California Fruit.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 19.-This from the
Evening Star is one Of many similar para
graphs floating around this section: What
is poison 10 the Eastern States seems to be
meat for California. Her ten thousand car
loads of fruits of various kinds on the
liberal valuation OF S10000,00O make almost
half the value Of her last years wheat crop.
With the failure Of the fruit crop in the
East this snng item fits in well, and to the
peculiar satisfaction of the fruit-raisers of
the Pacific Slope and their friends. Califor-
mia fruit is fast coming permanently to the
front, not simply to make good the Eastern
losses, but also 10 supply constantly in

The HOrseman says: This has been a
great, wonderful year in racing. Looking
back over it one becomes mystifed by its
immensely and the popular patronage it has
received. Reference to the Guide shows us
that there was racing at four points during
the month OF January; at Los Angeles, Cali
forna, New Orleans. and at Clifton and
Gutenberg. Clifton continued on through
February, March and until the middle of
April. So cid Gutenberg. New Orleans
raced until well into April Then in the
East Elizabeth took it up where Clifton
and Gutenberg left off, and raced along
with Linden until Brooklyn took hand on
tie fifteenth of May. Memphis, Nashville
Lexington and San Francisco were in full
blast meanwhile. Then followed the Louis
Vile. Chicago, st. Louis, Latonia, Kansas
City and 81. Paul meetings in the West and
the New York, Coney Island and Mon
mouth meetings in the East, not to speak
of Brighton, which slipped in whenever
there was an opening to be had, and some
times when there wasn't. Then came the
dividing line between summer and fall, and
the wheel started going again the reverse
way. Surely, then, this country is well
treated In the matter of continuous racing.
