seems to be petering ont. As an old
timer expresses It: 'If these cham
pions would spend as much time on
their biceps as they do on their Jaw
muscles. il would not require so much
preparation for the ring"

There is a general belief among rae
ing men and politicians and the terms
are coming TO De almost synonymous
that the New jersey Legislature VIII
pass pool bill very similar TO that In
this State, but possible with a local OPP
ton attachment, leaving 1t with the
people In the immediate vicinity OF the
race tracks or with the county authori-
ties, TO say when and how long there
shall be racing At the different tracks
in the State. II this bill is passed early

the tracks at Elizabeth and Linden
in the spring II the bill does
not pass in time for that then the rae
ing season, in which the general public
is interested, will begin as II did last

the scene OF the first racing. Whether
IL Is so or not, II will be the scene OF

tionaI color 1t might have 1.-THE horses
were intended for racing at Gutten-
burg.
As matter OF fact, the list Of horses
furnished shows that they are not "tip
toppers in England" and there 10 gen.
eral belief among men who know any
thing about horses, and who are not
anglomaniacs, that the horses Col.
North will send here will have 70 win

1t is an extremely "close" season that
the skaters have TO score many achieve
ments and at the same time gather
enough emoluments together to make
the game worth the candle. And that
is why the wonderful little world-beat-
er, Joe Donoghue, Is thoroughly In
censed at his recent failure to get on q
match with the loud-shouting profess

him.
Young Donoghue Is yet TO skate his
first professional race, as II was only at
