corrIaan,s RACING plans.

Race horse men are of the opinion
that the present trip of Edward Cor
rigan means the organization of a new
racing circuit, with a number of the
most prominent tracks in the country
as members. This opinien has been
gathered from hints which the stock
holders and directors in the new club
at New Orleans have let drop during
the past few days, and, inasmuch as
this has always been one of the am
bitions of Mr.. Corrigan, it is believed
that he now thinks that the time is
ripe for such an organization. The
plants that are seemingly in his grasp
are those at Kansas City, Chicago, Es-
sex park, Hot Springs, and the new
course about completed in New Or
leans. With every decision of the
courts so far in his favor, his life

about to come into possession of the
