WELCOME RACING
SHIFT TO JAMAICA

NEW YORK, October 22-From the
broad, sweeping stretches of Belmont Park
to the narrow quarters OF the Jamaica
track the thoroughbreds wended their way
over the Long Island roads yesterday, and
today the next to last meeting OF the year
on the local tracks will begin.
The change will be welcome one, TOO
as the mixture of straightaway racing and
swerving at Belmont Park had not pleased
even those steady patrons Of the turf who
turn up their coat collars and brave the
cold October winds. They are longing for
confined jamaica because there they Will
have the old-time rry-go-round strug-
giles that begin at the start ana last 10 the
finish.
There is no Excelsior handicap to feature
the fall meeting at Jamaica, such as there
is in the spring, but the Pierrepont mas at
tracted the best horses in training, ana an
even twenty have been named to start
OF these Go Between, Belmere and TX
ford are the popular choices, the first
named because of his ability in the mud,
Belmere on his last good race and OXFORD
on his record breaking performance at BEL,
mont Dishabille and Coy Maid also WILL
have their admirers, and the race appears
to be an open one.
The other races have filed well ana
as that usually is a criterion the meeting
PROMISES to be a successful one. There Will
he eleven days of the sport there, after
which the AcQueduct gates will be open
until November Is, when the last bugle call
of the northern racing season VIII SOUND.

ATLANTIC CITY. October 81, 1906.
The Steel Pier has closed for the season
but the management of Young's Ocean Pier
and the New Million Dollar Pier, have
decided TO remain open all winter. Each
pier has a skating rink and a good band
of music, and visitors will have the OPP
portunity of listening to good music while
they are watching the skating or the
promenaders on the Boardwalk. The Ocean
Pier has installed a steam heating plant
in the sun parlor and rink, at the front of
the pier and it VIII be q most comfortable
place from which winter visitors here can
see the ocean and the Boardwalk.
No visiting contingent ever enjoyed any
thing more than the delegates to the Gen.
eral Passenger Agents Association conven-
ton enjoyed "A Night in the Rudolf Kitch-
en-, which was prepared for them Wednes-
day night through the courtesy Of
Charles Il. Myers. proprietor Of the Rudolf

GREAT STEEPLECHASE
SPORT AT BENNING

The United Hunts Racing Association Will
hold it's autumn meeting at the race course
of the Washington Jockey Club, Benning,
D. c., on Thursday, October %, Saturday,
October q, and Monday, October %, 1906
No better place could have been selected for
this race meeting than Washington, and no
more delightful time of the year than Octo-
ber This association was organized in the
fall of 1905, and it's first meeting was held
at Morris Park, Westchester, N. Y, on
October 81, % and %, and 1t is hard to at
tempt to describe what a success this meet
ing was; its patrons were the social and
financial leaders of metropolitan society, the
races were keenly contested by the best
horses in the country, the riders were
among the best sportsmen known in hunt
ing circles and from post call for the first
race on October q, 1905 the future of the
United Hunts Racing Association and the
promoters of amateur racing in America
were accorded vote of thanks by every
sportsman in the land. And no less success
will attend the autumn meeting Of 1906
which will open at Benntng, ID. C., next
Thursday, as Washington is in the heart of
a great sport loving country, and the races
for bona fide hunters will be great attrac-
ton for all hunt clubs, not only for the
pleasure of winning and the material bene
fit of substantial prize, but such races In
crease the value of the good hunter fully
90 per cent, not alone TINS year, out Tor
years to come
One of the most attractive features Of the
meeting will be the Grand Military Steeple
chase for horses owned and ridden by off,
GERS of the United States army. Such steeple
chases are no novelties in England or
France, but the one given under the aus
pices of the United Hunts Racing Associa
ton last autumn at Morris Park is the first
Of such races ever held in America. This
race has received the unqualified indorse-
ment of Gen. Franklin Bell. This was Shown
in a letter recently published from General
Bell to Perry Belmont, president of the
United Hunts Racing Association, in which
he most heartily commended the military
steeplechase and recommended it to his SOL
are many army officers who will no doubt
take a great interest in this race. At Fort
Meyer there are several crack riders among
the officers who will welcome a chance to
show their prowess in the saddle and
among the members of the Army and Navy
Club are many who are enthusiastic cross
country sportsmen.
Superintendent Tom Strahan has the Ben
ming steepiechase course looking it's pretti-
est, and when the meeting begins there
horsemen will be surprised at the many
improvements that have been made.
Already several carloads of horses have
left Belmont Park for Benning, and by
Thursday next all the prominent "chasers''
of the east will be on hand to take part in
this meeting.
Special trains will run from Baltimore, as
well as from 9th street station, Washington,
leaving at 1 pm, returning Immediately
after the races. The electric cars will run
direct to the track every two minutes from
18th street and New York avenue north

Continued From Ninth Page.)


Of July of that year there were 1900 paid
admissions. But I've never been able to
discover whether these figures represented
one game or two games.
But as to the largest crowd that ever saw
q ball game. I know, without a question OF
doubt, that this crowd was the one which
saw the opening Brotherhood game in Bos-
ton in 1890.
Kelly, who was then the idol of the base
ball world and whose work for Boston in
the past had been so sensational, opened
his gates that day for the first time to a
paid admission crowd of 10000, who came
from all the nearby cities to see 'Kel and
his great Brotherhood team.
After the gates were closed, as the park
would accommodate no more people, the
crowds from the excursion trains kept aug
menting the immense throng already sur
rounding the park, until finally those in the
rear began to push the ones in front, with
the consequent result that the entire center
field fence was pushed down and the ball
field laid bare to the eyes of more than
$4,000 dead heads with the excursion
trains still adding more to the number
This was without doubt the greatest crowd
that ever witnessed base ball game, and
was estimated at 5000.

in knocking out Sullivan in the fourth
round last Thursday he made a declaration
that he would not fight Corbett unless the
Denverite made weight. 1t is said, however,
that Corbett will not make weight for any
bout and that he met Terry McGovern at
catchweights in Philadelphia last Wednes-

Not Interested in Toledo.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, October 22.-The re-
port emanating from St. Paul that Charles
Havenor, president of the Milwaukee club,
and Joe and Mike Cantillon were the real
purchasers of the Toledo franchise, with
Charles Comiskey of White Sox fame as a
silent partner and Armour of Detroit as a
mere figurehead, was denied by both Hav-
enor and the two Cantillons when the ques-
ton was preached to them last night. Mike
Cantillon was here for a visit yesterday,
but he said his visit had nothing whatever
to do with the Toledo club
From what is known here it Is thought
that T. c. Byrce owner of the controlling
stock Of the Columbus club is the one
who is backing Armour in his Toledo In
vestment. Bryce has made a large amount
of money in Columbus, and, as Toledo IS
an excellent base ball town with a first
division team, there is every reason to be-
lieye that he is interested in the purchase
of the Toledo plant.
