THE RACETRACK.
THE EMPIRE CITY TRACK MAY RE IDLE
THIS YEAR-W. Z. WHITNEY EN-
PECTS TIE REIFFS TO
RIDE FOR HIM IN
ENGLAND.

When the announcement was made early in
the week Of the racing dates awarded 10 the
several racetracks ina the East some surprise
was espresso that no dates were allowed to the
Empire city track. in Westchester. This prop
erty belongs 20 the Clark estate and the fact
that 10 racing was arranged for that track gave
cause for the rumor that those in charge of
the track did not desire to have racing there
this year \ man who has been associated with
the management # the Clark estate when seen
yesterday said that much speculation had been
INDUCED in. but that. usual. the speculation
was wide OF the facs.
4 do not care 10 be personally mixed up in
this racing wransle.' said he but the real facts
might as Well be known. Those in charge Of the
Empire City track not only applied for the
dates awarded last year but. in addition, made
application for n series of racing dates in the
spring The application was made 70 the Jockey
Club in regular form. and all that I can say is
that we are surprised that our request Was not
complied with The printed statement that the
dates were not allowed on account # some
contractor not being able to build spur 10 the
track from the railroad Is nonsense That had
nothing 10 do with IT, and we never heard OF the
alleged contractor whose name has figured IN
the case We wanted q spring and fall meeting
at the track, and We're refused permission 10
hold either. That Is the whole story"
Now that no running meeting will be held
Will the track be turned over TO the trotters?''
he asked
That cannot say said The Tribune in
formant We have tried trotting meetings
there without success. and / DO not think the
experiment VIII be repeated We cannot say at
this time just what shall do with the property
IN Wrstchcst r."
There has been considerable speculation of
late regarding a runOr 20 the effect that Will
lam c. Whitney would organize a racin, stable
Of much scope in England. The fact that Air
Whitney was at Aiken. :. @. deferred many
from trying To find whether the report was true
The death Of Lord William Eeresforl who had
the first call upon the services of the American
jockeys Lester and John Reiff lett other aTnbi-
tious hOrsemen open - negotiate with these sue
cessful jockeys. This Mr. Whitney has done
through an agent in England and In dispatch
received from Mr. Whitney last night he said
that he expected that both u the Reiffs would
ride for him this year Regarding other ar
rangemeuts about racing in England Mr. Whit
ney said that he had not received any word from
abroad recently.

NO THREAT TO DENMARK.
RUMoR FROM LONDON DENIED BY THE
STATE DEPARTMENT

Washington. March s--Aa empha.ic denial is
given at the State Department 10 the statement
published in a London new spaper 10 the effect
that the United States Government has ad-
dressed a note almost threatening in tone" to
the Danish Government. declaring that il will
not permit a transfer OF the Danish West Indies
70 any foreign power II is said at the depart
ment that the United States Government has not
al any stage N the present negotiations relative
u the transfer Of the islands. nor al any time
in the past, when similar negotiations were
afoot, threatened Denmark or attempted in any
way to bring pressure to bear upon her. and
TIE negotiations always have been conducted in
the most anioable spirit on both sides If
course, the Danish Government Is aware that
the Monroe Doctrine is cherished by the De
partment Of State. but the application of this
doctrine to the transfer of sovereignty by one
European nation Of its holdings in America 10
another European nation has always been al
lowed TO remain a matter Of inference. Although
the State Department holds decided views on
that subject fortunately the occasion has never
arisen for any such announcement Of them as
is reported to have been made in the London
publication.
The Danish Government is perfectly aware Of
the disposition Of the State Department to ac-
Guire the Danish West Indies Cor the United
States. and il knows precisely the amount Of
money which the executive branch of the United
States Government i willing 10 pay for the Isl
ands provided the assent Of Congress can he OBJ
tsined, for the consummatlon Of the sale would
require not only the action of the senate on
a treaty. but the action ~ the House well IN
making the necessary appropriation Of funds.
The obstacles which still exist. therefore, are
entirely within Denmark and when the Danish
Cabinet can succeed IN securing the approval
Of the Danish Teolle - the alienation sE tals
territory. and is willing to accept tho prices Of
