 OF ANTLBETTING STATUTES
BY JAMES DOCKERALL

Woods Garth has promised his Wash ington friends that William l.. Maupins Superstition shall win at least two races at Marlboro. Superstition Is one of the most tractable of horses and improves with age. The man who is handling Su- perstition has demonstrated that he Is a capable trainer, although he has had comparatively little experience at the game.
 After the Marlboro meeting MT. Ran dolph's horses will race at Pimlico, and after the Pimlico meeting. at Jamestown. From Jamestown they will go to Jack sonville. MT. Randolph has raced two winters at Moncrief park, and he likes the game there.
 Samuel c. Austin, who has raced pretty fair horses in the course of the last few years, has decided to give up that end of the game. Jack Odom has taken Jest and all the others save Summertime, and G. R. Tomplxins has. 1t Is said. about de- cided to buy Summertime. Summertime Is sister to Royal Tourist.
 Jest Is the best of the horses in Odoms s possession. She Is recruit from the stable of James R. Keene. She Is pre- possessing miss of good development, and she has quick turn of speed.
 A numDer Of small StaDleS at the Gravesend track are in strict training waiting the call to ship to Marlboro, the first race meeting since the finish of the Saratoga meeting Superintendent Dun phy has the track narrowed every morn ing, and 1t Is in fine condition for the trainers to work their horses over. All with the exception of the six Belmont yearlings in the Walsh barn, under the care of MT. Ryan, will race at Marl boro, and all will be freshened up and ready to race up to their best form.
 John Mayberry has the Joe Marrone horses in charge, five in all.
 Charles J. Casey shipped Frisco, Duke of Ormonde, Dutch Rock. Belle Ger. Cracker Box, c. W. Nichols and Ailsa Paige. The latter three are yearlings. They have shown smart trials and are the type that come to hand early. Trainer Casey handled several success ful stables on the Pacific coast and also on the eastern courses. and as the pros poets are exceptionally good for racing this winter, he expects to win his share of purses with the horses in his charge. The juveniles are well bred. Cracker Box is a colt by Octagon, dam Lucy Cross; |C. w. Nichols, colt by Matchless, dam Tulla Fonso, and the Ally Ailsa Paige Is by Ossary, out of Maud Sherwood.
 
 As the time draws near for the closing of the thirty-eight stakes for the meeting at Moncrief park, the horsemen are nak- ing applications for stabling. That this will be one of the greatest winter meet ings that has ever been held is assured by some of the owners who have already applied for stablng.
 The number now figures close to 900 horses, which will mean at least 200 more stalls. More stabing will be erected before the opening of the 100 days racing, starting Thanksgiving day, November "A.
 Most of the notable turfmen have made all their plans on the proposition that there will be little or no racing on any of the metropolitan tracks hereafter. Harry Payne whitney and H. B. Duryea have established themselves on the other side MT Duryea moved his entire stud to France where he owns a fine place and he is racing there and in England exclusively
 Mir Whitney has not removed his stud to the other side of the Atlantic, but Brookdale farm is used as nothing more than a feeder for his English stable. The smartest colts and Allies Ed c. Taylor raises at Brookdale are shipped to Jack Joyner at Ballston Lodge, Newmarket. every autumn. James R. Keene and Au- gust Belmont have raced abroad, but they have not deserted the American turf. They keep their best racers and maintain stables in France and England.
