When asked II the date suited him. al

NO; that date does not suit and for

GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

Racing In this State comes to an end
one week from to-day. The gates of
the various tracks now in operation will
close, and from oct IL until Wednesday,
Nov. l. race-goers will be kept guessing
as to whether the gates will reopen
next Spring. The outlook certainly
seems tinged with the deepest kind of
indigo. The fact that the amendments
are to be voted upon as Il whole rather
operates against the race-track than in
Its favor. Breeders, horse-owners

VIII lose nothing on their original in
Vestment years ago, property having
improved vastly. New York is really
the racing centre Of the country, and
more money is given away in purses
and stakes at the various race-traCks

other other raceltracks II the country, Jumped
The sudden withdrawal OF this vast
sum, which very nearly reaches two
millions of dollars, is bound to react dis
astrously upon breeding interests. In
this state alone the breeding interest
represents an invested capital of 500

ruined, but disastrous blow would be
given the great farms of kentucky and
other States. James X. Keene, James
Galway, August Belmont, John A.

opinion that the passage of the amend

interests in this State. There are many
