NEWS OF HORSES AND HORSEMEN

known named son of Rossington and
Famine, has been destroyed after con-
sultation with able veterinarians, who
agreed that It was the only humane
way to end the incurable Affections Of
the grand-looking Day geldins. who
was but eight years old. Never a thor
oughly sound horse, the magnificent
son OF Rossington recently became so
lame that he scarcely supported the
weight of his massive body. After con-
sultation, which was held at Westbury,
Good and Plenty was shot. He WAS
buried almost on the dividing line boz
tween the Hitchcock place and the
Westbury estate OF Harry Payne Whit
ney, The last appearance of Good ana
Plenty under colors was when
he won over n fairly good
field MT Brighton Beach on
July 22d. That was to be his final
for the Brighton Steeplechase. Which
was run five days later. He seemed to
dition. and 1t was remarked then that
he had come back to himself and might
go on further greatness.
His general and complete breakdown
followed the race, though 1t was not
apparent while he was on the track.
II was decided not to start him In the
Brighton, but he had several engage
ments at Saratoga. and he was taken
to the farm and an attempt was made
to At him there. It was futile. and
within o very short time the tendons
of both his fore legs We're in such q
bad condition that he could scarcely
carry his weight. Then followed the
consultation and his ultimate destruc-
ton.
William Aston Chanler. Of New York,
grandson of John Jacob Astor. has
purchased of Judge W. s. Lewis, Lees-
burg, Va, the fine estate Of 400 acres.
known as Meadowbrook. Mr.. Chnnler
will make Meadowbrook his country
home, and contemplates removing MS
stud of thoroughbred horses from Ken
lucky to tho place at an carly date,
and with this idea In view the erec-
ton of new stables has begun. It is
said that the sale OF Meadowbrook to
Mr.. Chanler indicates the advent of
Leesburg and vicinity at an early date.
Another transfer of note In the same
section is tho gale of Cotton Farm, con-
taining over 1900 acres, to DR.. ID. B.

owned by the late Judge ]. D. Yeo-

Pine Beach, Va. has wired to the La

ped from there to Norfolk, Va. for the

PLANS FOR A NEW

There Will Be Seven, and Posi-
bly, Nine, Tracks in the
Association.
WILL OPEN NEXT JULY

NEW YORK, September 7.-Plans are
being formulated for new trottins
circuit next season, with seven and
possibly two more tracks as members.
Secretary Robert B. Bach. of the Park
way Driving Club, has been asked to
manage the affairs of the circuit, and
will do so. The tracks represented will
be Parkway. Dongan Mills, Willow
Brook. Huntington. Smlthtown, Mineola
and Riverhead. Two meetings will be
held at Parkway, Dongan Mills and
Willow Brook, IL present plans are not
changed. There Is q possibility that
Honokus and Orangeburg Will also ems

It Is contemplated to start the rae
ing the second week in July. at Dongar
Hills. Staten Island. and have ten weeks
of continuous trotting. Purses of S4Ot
Will be offered. as we'll as $4,000 In
stakes, for each meeting. The name
will probably be the Atlantic Circuit.
A circuit of this kind would be quite
successful 1t is believed. for not only
would the events reach towns where
light harness racing is popular, but the
transportation facilities would be I'M
usally good, in that IT would be neces-
sary to ship horses but very little, ow-
ing to the nearness- cf the tracks. This
fact alone will, 1t Is thought, be an at
