MANY FAIL TO TASTE
SWEETS OF RACING
James R. Keene Talks Of True
Sporting Spirit Which Should
Support the Turf.
Especial Dispatch to The Times.]

NEW YORK, September 23.-some one
remarked in the hearing Of James r.
l.eene. vice-chairman Of the Jockey
Club, at Gravesend, that John A Drake.
BY virtue OF Enoch Wishard's excellent
placing of his horses. had taken $4,000
or more out of the ring at Saratoga.
Sfcopshead Bay and Gravesend on seven
different occasions. Turning to Colonel
James z. Pepper. just outside the stew
AIDS enclosure where. by the way, the
master of Castleton is almost a daily
visitor, Mr.. Keene said: II am sorry to
see the sordid desire to triumph in the
betting ring overcome the ambition to
excel on the course. We have TOO many
men in racing as a business. When a
nan acquires a strong stable for betting
purposes, he does not begin to taste OF
the sweets of racing. a cheap selling
race has to him the same significance as
the winning Of one of the great classics.
with its wealth of lore and tradition.
There will always be the poor. third
rate horseman, willing to catch outside
moneys and live to exist. as it We're. He
is an integral part Of the turf system,
but as little is heard of his devious ways,
no harm to the sport is done. He is
there for the money there is in it. When
a man. supported by a high-class stable
and ready bank account, sets out to
make a business Of his racing. and when
he sums up his summers diversion in
proportion to the total Of his profit and
loss account, then it becomes a serious
matter. The plunger owner is exploited
ana his fame falsely reflects the spirit
of the sport
This unwholsesome tendency among
owners IS what leads to unpleasant re-
suits. They become prone to the habit
OF running to get weight off, with view
to insure a good price and a lighter al
lctment for a future race and prospec-
tive coup. Some of them might go fur
Their. The turf cannot thrive as a com
mercial venture. Every man should
breed his own horses too. We want men
who are content to race for the purses
and the qualification of seeing their
horses win We want owners who are
willing to incur big forfeits and paw
them out of stakes and purses their
horses may win. if possible, or out of
their pockets. without demurring, If nee

HUNG IN NEW KENT
The Same Rope Used With Which
John Lomax Was
Executed.
Especial Dispatch to The Times

RONBURY, VA, September 223.-Bur-
rel Johnson, the young negro who was
sentenced a month ago to hang for an
attempted criminal assault on Mrs Mag
gle Glow, expiated his crime on the gal
lows at New Kent C. II. early this morn
ing. The execution was very quiet and
only sixteen persons witnessed the hang
ing. though there were several hundred
applications.
Rev. W. w. Harris a colored minister.
had been with the boy at intervals for
several days. and though he never seemed
to realize the awful doom that awaited
him. he professed conversion and was
baptized in the jail enclosure a short time
before he was hung by this faithful coli
ored preacher.
The trap was sprung at 7:2O o'clock
and the negro died almost without a
movement. as his neck was broken by

Lanexa, pronounced him dead

later turned over to the ncgro's parents
The attack made by this young negro
on Mrs. Glow was most daring and br,I-
tai. and though she fought with desperst-
ton she escaped little short OF her life.
She was ctyertaken III the road so near
her own house that her cries were heard
by her husband. though not understood
by him at the time. and the injuries the
negro inflicted on her face by beating
her with a rock were visible when the
trial occurred. week later
The search for the prisoner. the arrest
and speedy trial are all we'll renem bered
and there is a feeling of profound salts
faction throughout the county that the
extreme punishment so well deserved
was meted out to this human brute
through the process of law instead Of at
the hands of it's excited citizens.
The same rope used to hang John Lo-
max week ago in Westmoreland county
for a similar crime was utilized in the
execution of BurrelI Johnson.

The hardness and lack of interest dis
played by our citizens in this matter of
registration prompts the committee to
urge you. not only to register yourself,
but that You use your best offices among
all with whom you may come in per-

to register. The Importance of this regis
