NEW YORK TURFMEN
 ARE OPTIMISTIC Racing Insured in Spite of the
 Legislature
WINTER RAGING BEGINS
Jockey Milton Henry Returns From France and Says It Is the Grandest Country in the
 World
BY JAMES DoCKERALL

New York, December 12.--(Special)- There are turfmen here who take an optimistic view of the racing situation in this state. I was talking to one a few days ago. He stands pretty close to August Belmont, who is regarded as the leader in turf affairs in this sec tion. He said to me:
 That horsemen have not lost ali confidence in the future of the turf in this state the entry for the Law. renee realization of 1911 bears test- mony one hundred and forty nomina- lions have been made. This compares favorably with the entry when the turf was on second footing. For the Real- ization of 1910. which was not affected by the legisla tion of 1908 as the race was a produce stake until this year. there was a total entry of 129 In 1909 it was g.. The 140 nominations for the 1911 is a flattering showing which indicates that as long as racing associations are willing to take I chance the hoFsemen are with them.
 .'Racing is assured no matter what happens. Whether the legislature helps out as some think possible or the courts upset the work of the legis- lature makes no difference. Several tracks arc going ahead with meetings. The most ambitious effort Will be made by Saratoga. which will produce a programme that will compare fayorabiy With that of 1910. In the neighborh ood of s25O,O00 will be hung mp in stakes and purses. It will not be a poor year at Saratoga, no matter what + is efso- where. Thirty days racing will De given. perhaps more None Of the other Expectations can undertake as much IS j Saratoga under existing conditions, but 1liey will be liberal. Other tracks like y to go ahead are Belmont9 Park, sbeepshead Bay Gravesend, Aquedpct and Empire City. None Of these will hold long meetings
 s"The opinion of the reform elemchr that the legislature will knock tli. pBops from under the anti betting laws may as well be dismissed If Inc Jockey club asks for any concessiop it will be for relief from the direct ors' liability law. There scarcely is d law yer but what says it 0ill he like breaking sticks to make this law a joke. It will be attacked in court and probably upset Without this law on the statute books, there is nothing to hinder the associations from resu Il ing where they left off. The harrief will be removed that stood in the way of a fulfllment of the fall programme, and with that out of the way the Jockey club will be contented for the time being. Perhaps in the future there will be an opening to introduce a method of open speculation, proba- ply the mutOel.

The freshmen will re- port earlier, and the varsity pitching can selected as yet, although it is thought either Penney or Kittredge. both former major leaguers, will be selected. Although many favor Penney for the position on account of his versatility still there IS doubt that his taciturnity didoes. Dr. F. IT. Nichols the athletic associations s physician, may be chosen.
 The football men will get out in the spring the same as the tracksters and baseball players.

 St. Yves and Svanberg put Up a mag nificent fight. but had neither the speed nor the stamina of the successful compet- tors. Finland's champions, Kohlmainen and Nieneman proved their mettle.
 The English team Shrubb and Wood were the first to give evidence of trouble when Shrubb's legs went back on him and he was compelled to quit the race in the seventh mile. His teammate, Wood, remained in the race.
 The Americans were not only the vic- tors. but the feature of the international struggle. Throughout they set the pace, Queal was the star of the race at that time and a mighty shout went up when he Tapped St. Yves again. svanberg came out then and regained the advantage, from Holmer, who had relieved his partner.

ing aside from the milk Of human kind

family as the milk Of a good cow. It is
like oil poured upon the troubled water

coffee; butter for the bread and cheese
for the lunch. 1t slOrtens the piecrust
and raises the Johnny cake; even the
cats and dogs cry for it; it feeds the pig
it pleases the colts and it delights the
chickens. Yes, and if he will only give

children. buy comforts for the wife, pay
the taxes and help lift the mortgage"
