The Racing Season In New

MEMORABLE CONTEST SETTLED

MEMORABLE CONTEST SETTLED. Little Brilliant Racing Is Recorded and
 With the Possible Exception of The
 Butterflies, Not One Firstclass Horse
 Has shown Out-EarnIngs of the Tracks
 Arc Enormous.
 NEW YORK. Oct. i6.-The legal rac- ing season in the state of New York closed yesterday. At Narragansett and Washington supplementary races have been held, but the season of rich stakes and memorable contests is over. There has been but little brilliant racing in the east this season. Not one firstclass horse has shown out, with the possible excep- ton of Gideon's and Daly's grand lilly the Butterflies and her great reputation rests mainly onprivate trials. Besides The But terfiies, the 2-year-olds have been me- diocre lot. In year of great 2-year-olds the present crowd would have hard work to win selling race. The best of the 8-year-olds is Henry of Navarro. The extraordinary campaign through which he passed has made him q great favorite with the public. Although Domino has only been defeated twice-once by acci- dent and the second time so badly that the horse could not possibly have been nt his best-his admirers have deserted him with astonishing readiness.
 The extraordinary eclipse of Senator 6wodx.ba to a.0Gk kLo ous events of the season. It is reported among turfmen that Senator Grady has had an accident known as "breaking across the back" a straining of those muscles and tendons which give him driy- ing powers. Tournament is said to have had such an accident, althougl the im- pression at the time was that the trouble was not with the muscles and tendons of Tournaments back, but with those of his heart
 How good Rubicon Is remains to be seen. He has won his recent races easily, but he has not yet beaten the cracks, and until he does he can hardly be chased with Henry of Navarro and Domino.
 Dobbins was disappointment. His victory in the Realization was an ex- tremely lucky one, all things considered Dobbins ought to be warning to ali men who own good 2-year-old. There is some consolation in knowing that bogglsh policy of grabbing at every thing in sight, In some cases at least, meets with swift retribution. If Dob- bins had not been raced for $500 purses in the April mud and at Elizabeth last year he would have won more 5000 stakes this year.
 The season has been the most profit able in their history for all the eastern racing associations. The amounts earned by the racing tracks seem fabulous when the original investments are considered. Brighton Beach, with It's $269, ,000 prof It's, has been considered phenomenally a success. It is now known, however, that the Coney Island Jocky club cleared in the neighborhood of $400,000 and the Brooklyn Jockey club over $350. 900. These three clubs alone, which hardly cost their builders $30o, 900 decade ago, have earned this season over si 100000 Morris Park represents such a tremendous outlay that, while all its profits will probably run above s250, ,000. this sum is not very large percentage on the sum invested.
 No organized movement has yet been made by the track owners, to fight the constitutional amendment. It is said, however. that something will be done this week. All the money made in rac- Ing goes to the track owners and the breeders, and there is Q profound belief among horse owners that the burden of the war should fall on these two classes, although racing men have begun raising money to fight the amendment. In the past the breeders have carefully avoided contributing anything to racing except high priced yearlings.
