Jacksonville, Nov. 12.-With the
closing down of the Aqueduct track,
racing at the metropolitan tracks came
to an end. and the closing down OF
Baltimore yesterday puts a quietus on
racing in the East for the season,
leaving only the track at Latonia for
the horsemen to race over, and there
the meeting has been extended until
Nov. %. which is the opening day at
MOncrief park. The moment that the
racing there is over nearly all the
horses that are now there will be ship
ped to Florida, and many of the
stables will not even wait for the
racing there to close before they make
their getaway.
Twelve carloads Of horses will leave
AqUedUct this week for Jacksonville,
and the chances are that as maTy
more Will leave the Pimlico track at
Baltimore having the same objective
point. This week, too, will witness
the coming of lot of horsemen, book
makers, and bookmakers' clerks, many
of whom will bring their families
with them and who will be looking for
a place to room, board or keep house
as the case may be. Already Secre-
tary f. J. Pons, of the association, is
being deluged with requests to look
up rooms for those who intend coming
and the people who have rooms to let
viii confer a favor on him if they
Will send him a description of the
rooms that they have to let and the
price that they want for them in or
der that he may send inquirers out to
look at them on their arrival.
The horses of Dick Williams, s. 9.
ClopeT and others have arrived from
Salt Lake, there being 81 head in all
Among them is the bay gelding Jack
Nunally, who has the record of run
ming five furlongs in So 3-5, a worlds
record, he beating Sam Hildreth's
good horse Heelick in the race. He is
the property of A. F. Dayton, whose
horses came in at the same time, all
of the horses arriving here in good
shape.
J. F. Kizel, of the firm of Oats &
Kizei, pool room operators az okla
homa City, who has been booking all
through the North, is already on hand
and will hang up his slate in the ring
at MOncTief Park when the meeting
opens.
The stake entries of the ST. James
stable, who have reserved accommo-
dations at MoncTief park for IL horses,
arrived from London, England, yester-
day, having been mailed there by Irv-
ing l. WheatcrOft in person on Oct.
q. This stable makes a total of 100
entries, tying Phil T. Chinn for sec
ond place, the corrected list cutting
down the number of the young Ken
tuCkian's entries down to same figure.
In the matter of class the st. James
stable ranks with any that have been
named, as there is not one of them
that is not a stake winner. Ihe best
horse of the lot is probably Wool
winder, who ranked as one of the best
3-year-olds that raced on the Canadian
circuit during the past season, and
who is named for the Florida Spe-
cial' as we'll as for other valuable
handicaps. This son of Woolsthorpe
should develop into a good handicap
horse, and Mr.. Wheatcroft is evident
ly Of that opinion. In several of the
handicaps and many of the selling
stakes Hasty Agnes, one of the first
horses to carry the orange and white
of the st. James stable, is entered
while his other entries, embracing
Lotus Flower, Elizabeth Harwood ana
others, with the exception of three
yearlings, the get of WooIsthorpe, Ce-
sarian and SOrcerer, have all been
tried out and have not been found
wanting.
The flying horse John Griffen, who
has been racing through the bushes or
Oklahoma and Texas, has at last been
registered and will be raced in Florida
this winter. He is said to be one of
the fastest SpTinteTs in the country,
and many good judges predict that if
he and Jack Atkins ever meet in a
sprint the bush horse will be returned
the winner.
