all descriptions many Of them having
figured prominently in the big regattas
of the season.
Sir Thomas Still Ambitious.
Rumor is again busy with Sir Thorn
as Lipton's ambition to lift the Amer
icas cup. 1t seems almost certain that
another challenge from the Royal I'll
ster Yacht club to the New York Yacht
CLUB for a series Of races off Sandy
Hook will be forthcoming soon as was
animated by Designer Fife upon his ar
rival in this country last week
An Interesting Controversy.
Horsemen throughout the country are
! watching with great interest the con-
troversy between the jockey club and
the Empire City Trotting association,
which has received a license to hold a
running meet on its track near Yonk-
ers, and purposes to do so when the
runners of the Metropolitan tracks go
to Saratoga next week. The jockey
club thus far has failed to reply to two
queries put to it by the Empire off1c-
ials as to what It's stand will be toward
owners, trainers, Jockeys and horses
taking part In the races. Should the
Jockey club not give its sanction to
these races, the Empire City track and
all persons having connection with it
would become, in racing sense, out
laws" James Butler, president Of the
empire City association, has addressed
a letter to the state racing commission
demanding that the rules of the jockey
club be modified in accordance with the
provisions Of the Perey-Gray law. I'M
der this law the racing commission has
the right to modify or entirely abro-
gate any of the jockey club rules The
racing commission has notified both
parties that 1t will hold meeting next
Thursday to consider the matter.

that cannot but work good for the au-
tonobile industry and the sport of mo-
4oring.
