WINN rs HOPEFUL
Thinks Racing Will Prove
Successful in Mexico.

Louisville, FEB. Matthew j.
VIM, manager OF the Empire City
track in its dying struggle for recog-
milton and the man who has been chos-
en- by the new racing syndicate 10 man
age the tracks across the Mexican
border. reached home from Mexico to-
day. He states that the establishment
OF courses across the border means the
solution of the, racing problem.
Racing in Mexico means that the
sport is taken out OF politics" said
VIM today, and the outlook is for a
prosperous season. We have conces-
sions from the government which are
equivalent to a twenty-year license.
Many Americans are interested in the
movement"
The tracks Mr.. Winn will manage are
those directly opposite FL Paso and
also those which are planned for a site
just across the line of southern Cali
fornia. This last track will depend for
its patronage on persons who visit the
coast In pursuit of health
Racing in Mexico City also may be
revived, however. Colonel Bob" Pate
once tried to start the game down
! there anu SucCebueu 10 certain eH-
tent. But he found that he could not
compete against the bull fights and
other attractions dear to the heart OF
the Mexican. and gave up the game
Just at present, however. many OF the
offspring of the horses taken down
there by American owners in the ole
/ days arc ready for racing again.
! Horses in those days which raced al
i the Mexican capital were recruited from
/ the "outlawed" tracks. such as South
/ Side park in st. Louis, which was ther
! just being started by the Cella-Adler-
TILES confederacy. II IS not thought
that any outlaw rules will be enforce,
against them in Mexico. however Tn,
government is aiding the movement Il
help the turf along.

WINNER At LONG ODDS

San Francisco, Feb, 17.-Bright Skies
furnished the real sensation of the year
by coming home in front in the last
race yesterday at Oakland. the price
against the flly being as high as 500
to / in some books. In the majority Of
books in the ring her odds were set
at 500 to /. even the dollar books Civ
ing this price.
The 3-year-old flly is by Gerolstein,
out OF Princess, and is owned by Joe
Lowhe. She was ridden by Jockey F
Murphy. The race was a six -furlong
sprint. with Argonaut and Blameless
well fancied, but Bright Skies managed
to get through at the end and scored
handily enough.
Although the general public had
nothing to do with the support Of the
hlly, she was greeted with wild APP
plause when she won. The rail birds
were down on the juvenile and had
their dollar bets piastered all over the
ring wherever a book would accept a
wager of that size. Just what they
backed her for is n mystery. as she
was tenth on her last start here, and
on her previous out at Los Angeles a
long time ago was an Indifferent sec

A MILLIONAIRE VIRTUoso

The most interesting concert of Lon
don'S latest opera season was that
which introduced to the British CAPT
tai Albert Spalding, an eighteen-year-
old son of Chicago, coming forward
as if to prove anew that genius can be
allied to wealth. He played the VIC
lin with such refinement and apprecia-
ton that there was left no room to
question his phenomenal talent, while
simple fact rehearsed that he stood
heir to an income property. Where
fore fashionable London marveled,
and her musical critics penned phrases
of undiluted praise.
For ten years Spalding has lived in
Florence in a splendid old palace on
the Arno once the property of Tally
rand He began his violin studies
early and had given a concert when
only seven, but since those earlier days
in his native America he has worked
abroad, taking of the best masters in
Europe. Once, in his music room, look
ing out upon the palms of the winter
garden, he played by request for the
Duchess of Connaught- with just such
forerunner of unalloyed approval as
has now greeted him before a wider
audience.
Two little tales of this coming"
Virtuoso are worth repeating. When

his professors looked back among past
records, and found that-Mozart at the
same age won exactly the same mark
ing!
Young Spalding collects violins. and
all the great makers names are among
his instruments, including a world
famous Stradivarus. But his favorite
is Montagnana. Once, at some
Neapolitan curio gatherers he tried to
buy it, only to hear that it had just
been sold. Keenly disappointed, he re-
turned home for a final practice for
some public concert-and at that very
concert that self-same Montagnana
came to him, a gift from his grand
mother.
