The following is clipped from the edi-
torial columns Of a recent issue Oh '"0
Spirit OF the Times
"a gentleman well known IN Id,'"s
and breeding circles In Virginia "Il''9
the Spirit as follows, commenting upon
Governor Matthews message to the IN
diana Legislature upon the subject VI
racing. in which the Governor recon-
mends tnat racing be restricted 10 the
months between April and November ana
that foreign books be prohiDIted'
Matthews head is level on racing. IN
deed ne is very much my idea OF a man
and Governor any way We nave eltheI
10 break up this winter racing OUTSIDE Oh
New Orleans and California, where the
ground never freezes. and where a poor
man has a chance to run his horses ana
make his living or we Will have TO break
up racing altogether.
I" Il do not know the parties VINO con-
duct racing at Alexander Island, near
Washington, and certainly l couId not
harbor any ill feeling for them or Tor
their track, but, sure as the world IS
they are killing racing in Virginia Just
as Guttenburg and Gloucester did in New
Jersey Governor Oter-
rail- is "A Presbyterian, but a practical bus
mess man. He will break up winter racing
I'm Virginia, because the Wnole re
ligious element is opposed to 1t. But l
believe the people of the State would
gladly welcome such racing as we had
fifteen or twenty years ago. II IS not only
a manly sport but IL should be a leSlu-
mate business from April LIST TO NoVem-
Der LIST annually, with pool-selling ana
book making confined strictly 10 the
tracks. Kill racing and you destroy the
best breed of horses the world ever saw
1.-The Spirit most heartily concurs IN the
above statements az TO winter racing III
the North. We have repeatedly pointed
ont that il is impossible TO conduct win
ter racing in this climate without certain
injury to the sport generally. rms iact
has been demonstrated time and again
and vet In the face of repeated demoh-
STATIONS there seems to be, we regret 10
saw. a widespread desire to carry on VIM
ter racing wherever it can be done with
ont mourning the penalties of the law
We think, with our correspondent, that
tho Deople of Virginia, Maryland ana tne
District of Columbia. would welcome PACK
such thoroughbred sport as they Were
accustomed TO score or years ago pu'
they can hardly be criticised II they Oh
iect 10 be burdened with the eVils oil
winter racing In a climate not suited to
racing In the winter season.
