NEW YORK, Oct. 2-The cup pre-
liminary, a mile and half gallop for
horses eligible to the Brighton handi-
ton cup. was carded at the Brighton
Beach course this afternoon as the

most interesting contests of the racing
season to date.
Proper was choice at the prohibitive
odds of to s.. Oxford went to the
front when the barrier was released
and set hot pace, closely followed by
Proper. Flip Flap laid half a dozen
lengths out of it. There was no change
In the respective positions until the
last half mile was reached, when
Proper gradually closed on Oxford. and,
In red-hot drive, the Jennings horse
raced under the wire winner by a
nose. Oxford was three lengths in
front of Flip Flap.
The rest of the card was made up
of an unusually heavy field of good
horses. giving some good sport for the
crowd.
The weather was a trife warm and
as result racegoers passed a much
pleasanter afternoon at the track by
the sea. The course was In fast condi-
tion and MT for record d-breaking per-
formances. The attendance was well
up to the high average.

RACING
LAW UPHELD
BY COURT.

CINCINNATI, o., Oct. 2.-The Ken
tucky racing commission law was de-
clared constitutional, the information
against the racing commission was dis
solved and the case remanded to the
lower court for further proceedings by
the United States Circuit Court of Ap-
pears in this city today. The decision
was announced by Judge Cochran.
The last Legislature passed what is
known as the racing commission law,
the purpose being to avoid conflicting
dates on tracks in the same city and
too long meetings at any one point.
The Douglas Park track at Louisville
brought suit against the members of
the racing commission individually to
restrain them from preventing the
time set for rival track. The lower
court granted the injunction and the
case was at once appealed. This in
junction was today dissolved and the
law declared to be constitutional
Judge Cochran said that the whole
case turned on the question of the
public welfare. Where business may
be lawful the enforcement of limita-
tionss may be harmful to some one en-
gagged in that business, but the point
of the public welfare would have TO
govern. He discussed at some length
the evils arising from betting on horse
races and the maintenance of pool
rooms in connection Herewith, holding
that some limitation was proper and
necessary, and that this particular law
was entirely fair to all concerned.

YACHT RACE WILL
NOT BE HELD
IN 1907.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-There will be
no race for the Americas cup in 1907,
according to the Times, which says
today:
Whatever may be the ultimate OUT
come of Sir Thomas Lipton's negotia-
tions for another Americas cup race,
it can be stated that there will be no
race next year. Assurances are said
to have been positively given that un-
der no conditions would the New York
Yacht Club consider a race in 1907.
What might be done in the following g
year, or what action may be taken on
the question of rules to govern any
match that is arranged is absolutely
uncertain. What reason actuates the
decision said to have been reached by
those whose authority will sway the
clubs decision is not known
Sir Thomas made an informal visit
to the New York Yacht Club last night.
He remained, chatting with friends and
club members, until after midnight.

THE BALLOON
RACE.

PARIS, Oct. All the uncertainty
regarding the result of the balloon race
for the James Gordon Bennett CUP
started from here on Sunday afternoon
was ended at noon today when a dis
patch was received by the Aero Club
announcing that c. C. Rolls and his
companion, Colonel Capper.. in the bal

Upland at $50 last night thus estab-
nshing that Lieutenant Frank p. Lahm.

Count de La Vaulx. France. third, and

Lieutenant Lahm's friends are en-
thusiastic over his victory. With the
exception OF Senior Salamanca. the
spanish aeronaut, Lahm was the young
est competitor. Since his assignment
to the cavalry at Saumur. Lahm has
devoted much attention to aero-stat tics
and his rapid advance as an aerial
pilot has already attracted considerable
attention He made a dozen ascensions
curing the summer, the longest voyage
being from St Cloud to St Brieuo.
The lieutenant took the place of his
father in the race. the latter, who is
the best known American aeronaut in
Paris. being called home on Saturday.
Major Hersey's trip, as Lieutenant
Lahm's assistant. was quite accidental.
A Frenchman, Levee, had been selected
as assistant, but the Aero Club of
France protested.
The beautiful cup for competition by
James Gordon Bennett becomes
trophy of the Aero Club of America.
The first cash prize of $4,000 goes to
Lieutenant Lahm and the endurance
medal to Rolls, who was the longest in
the air.
Santos Dumont says he considers
Lieutenant Lahm's trip to be a dan
gerous exploit. and that Lahm himself
is destined to make his mark in the
