SEEkONK REGATTA ENTRIES

The Seekonk river, once a gathering
place for oarsmen OF note. but now de-
serted by devotees or the sport. will be
the scene OF another big carnival on
Thursday morning, when crews which
have won races In various other OF the
national contests will be seen here in con-
nection with the Old Home Week regatta.
Two crews, which by their Victories
have acquired the position OF seniors, ELI
gible TO the fastest OF eight-oared COM
petition. will compete in the feature event
OF the day. while three crews which have
won victories In other places will try con-
clusions In the intermediate eight-oared
event. Three fast crews, TO whom the
palm of victory has as yet been denied.
will start In the junior eight-oared event.
All three OF these races will be a mile
and a half straightaway, the start being
a measured mile and half up the See
konk from a point of the boat house of
the Narragansett Boat club which will be
the headquarters OF the racing committee.
In the other races the course will be a
mile and half. from Off the boat house
float around n mark up the river and
then back TO the starting point In one OF
these events the senior fours. two long
time rivals, the Riverside Boat club and
the Columbian Rowing association OF

found In the senior and junior double
events, while the senior singlek sculling
events will bring four and possibly more
welf-known scullers to face the starting
pistol. Five more men will start In the
Intermediates and four more In the ju-
nior singles. There will be four men In
the novice singles sculling event.

, tween Condor and Celia were rather
strained and that Wnn was in no way
identified with Condor. but was the right
hand agent OF Ed. Corrfgan.
Another story that was frequently re-
peated was TO the effect that as soon as
the Empire track received formal recog-
milton from the Jockey club the plant
would be sold outright TO syndicate COM
posed OF Celia, CorTigan, Condor, Rhinock
Winn and others who have pooled inter-
ests In the West. The circufators OF this
yarn insisted that the Western men had
been trying for long time to get foot
hold here and that as soon as James But
Ter. by means OF successful legal proceed
ings. secured a license from the state
racing commission. the Western syndi-
cate decided 10 make a play for the Yonk-
ers track. All of these stories were re-
peated last night to James Russell Soley,
attorney for the Empire City track. who
said:
"You can put II as strongly as possible
that James Butler stands alone in this
interprise-Cela. Condor. Corrigan. Rhi-
mock and other Western men that have
been mentioned In connection with the
Empire track have no dealings OF any
nature whatsoever with Mr.. Butler. Peo-
pie seem 10 forget that Mr.. Butler does
not need financial assistance In this VEN
ture and that he can buy and sell any OF
the Western men named here. The fact
that we have engaged Winn means simply
that we got the best track manager avail

no relation with an alleged Western syndi-
cate as far as Empire City Is concerned.

New York, July s1.-All sorts OF r,rmors
we're in circulation at Brighton yesterday
relative to the future of the Empire City
track at Yonkers. The fact that Louis A.
Celia OF ST Louis. leading factor in the
affairs OF the Western Jockey club, a
stockholder in the Fair Grounds. New
Orleans, and other race tracks in the
West and n bookmaker on the local cir
cult, paid a visit to the Yonkers track on
Sunday was the basis for a story that he
was either interested In the Empire City
or was prospective buyer Of the proper
ty. In fact several well posted men de-
clared that they knew that both Celia
and John Condor, owner OF the Harlem
track Chicago, were behind James Butler
and that their personal representative was
Matt j. Winn, the new manager OF the
Butler plant. Just why Celia inspected
the Yonkers track with unmistakable In
terest nobody could say yesterday. Celia
stated to his friends that he went TO
Yonkers purely out OF curiosity and that
he had no business relations with Butler
or any other stockholder In the plant.
But he was there just the same. and for
that reason the gossips were busy with his
name all the afternoon.
II was also said that Winn, Celia and
Condor held a conference at the Waldorf
Astoria Sunday night, but II was said at
the hotel yesterday that Condor had not
been there. A man who IL in close touch
with Condon said yesterday that the Chi
cago man had intended to visit Alaska
and was probably on his way there. This
man also insisted that the relations be-

ing ahead with the improvements at En-
pire City as fast az possible and we hope
TO have everything ready by next Monday,
but yo'' can rest assured that we will not
open the gates then unless the track and
transportation facilities are in perfect
order. There might be a delay OF two or
three days. but / hardly think so now
We intend TO give hieh-class meeting
which will enjoy the confidence of the pub

prevail and the racing will be kept as

The trotting horses were all removed
from tho track yesterday. There are $50
stalls In the track stables. while 300 stalls
in the vicinity have been engaged. Twen-
~ horses from Latonia arrived at Empire
city on Saturday while others from the
same place. also from st. Louis Louisville
Toronto. Fort Erie and other Western
points are expected within the next day or
two. Horsemen who have been racing on
the Jockey club tracks and who do not
intend TO go TO Saratoga are anxious TO
have the differences between Yonkers and
the Jockey club amicably settled so that
they can race at the Butler track.
