Belmont Up Against 1t.
The Race Track Trust has been
beared in it's den, for with the open
ing of Empire City the Western pro-
prietary interests OF Joseph RhinOch and
l.. A. Celia gained a working foothold-
While James Butler is the man with the
most money in the project. it was the
encouragement he received from Rim
och ana the latter's Willingness to come
up with ready money which started the
mill a-going which brought on the meet
ing in the face of the utmost hostility
from August Belmont and other power
fUl Jockey Club interests.
Belmont wishes to monOpolize the turf
Of New York for the money there is in
racing and 70 be able 10 govern the sport
with a firm hand. That he has brought
racing from nowhere to a splendid emf
nence Of respeCtability, cannot be denied,
but that he is right in fighting off all
competition, is a debatable question, es-
pecially when the law courts hold a GER
tain race track has as good right to race
as he.
Another New Track.
That the Empire City meeting would
prove money maker was a foregone
conclusion, for under NJ. T. winn 1t was
well managed and the racing itself was
a good deal cleaner and more uniform

steeplechases were nothing more than
mediums OF trlckery and manipulation
Just where the Western capitaI'' viii

Britt whipped so decisively. They say
Britt has developed the punch which he
always lacked and point 10 the last few
rounds OF the Nelson fight For this
reason. he will have many supporters
when he faces Joe Cans.
Unless the negro was permanently in
jured in the GolddeId fight and has
gone back in consequence. the native
son Will stand little chance with him
Cans is his master at every department
OF the game Britt is certainly a mar

game. Britt IS a cool head, and is
proud Of the fact. Cans is Ike a cold

say Britt can hit We know that Cans
has the cleGnest, most Furnishing punch
