NEW YORK, Oct 15-The legal racing
season in the State of New York closed
to-day. AT Narragansett and at Washing
ton supplementary meetings will be held,
but the season of rich stakes and memoir
able contests is over There has been
little brilliant racing in the East this sea-
son. Not one frst-class horse has shown
out, with the possible exec ption of Butter
flies, and her great reputation mainly
rests on private trials.
The season has been the most profitable
10 the history of all Eastern racing associ-
ations. The amounts earned by the racing
tracks seem fabulous when the original
investments are concerned. Brighton
Beach, with its S2OS.OO profits, has been
considered phen0menally successful. Il
is now known. however. that the Coney
Island jockey Club cleared in the neigh
borhood of 100000. and the Brooklyn
Jockey Club over S1,0Oo,000. Morris Park
represents such tremendous outlay that
while all its profits will run over $3.50, 900
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. 1t is said,
however, that something will be done
this week. All the money made 10 racing
goes to the track-owners and breeders,
and there is a profound belief among
horse-owners that the burden of the war
should fall on those two classes. In the
past the breeders have carefully avoided
contributing anything to racing. except
In bigh-pIiced yearlngs.
The attendance at Morris Park on the
last day Of the racing season in the State
was very large. The chief feature was the
contest between Sir Walter, Clifford and
Rubcon, at mile and quarter, carrying
weight for ages. Sir Walter was the out
slider. while the other two were favorites
Sir Waiter went out at once 10 make the
pace after the fall of the flag and carried
the others up the hill at a merry clip. 1t
was not long before the pace told on Rubi-
con and when they began the down-hill
rush through the stretch, he was begging
for mercy, although he stuck to his work
until the last quarter, when be quit.
Simms was riding Clifford and although
he did everything possible to win, be could
never get nearer than a length behind Sir
Walter who won in the fast time of 2:O7.
There was fine finish between the fa-
vorite, Our Jack. aud the second choice.
Declare, in the Pelham Bay handicap at a
mile and quarter. in which Declare won
by neck. Griffin was not able to do JUS
tice to Our Jack. and had the Jockeys been
reversed the favorite would have won.
There was a long delay at the post In the
White Plains handicap. but they got away
in good order at last. Owlet led for
awhile, and then Magian and Silvie were
the contenders with California and Coun-
ter Tenor coming fast Simms was able
to drive Magian in a winner at long odds,
while Counter Tenor got the place at
longer ODDS California was third and the
favorite. The Commoner was next. An
niseite, we'll backed, threw her jockey.
Clayton, but he was unhurt and rode in
the next race. Jack of Spades was the fa-
vorite in the first race and won easily.

race at the last furlong and won handily
in fast time from Hurlingham.
