NEW YORK, Dec. 1o-There are
turfmen here who take an optimistic
view of the racing situation in this
state. ] was talking to. one few days
ago. He stands pretty close to August
Belmont, who is regarded as the leader
in turf affairs in this section. He said
. 10 me:
uThat horsemen have not lost all
confidence in the future of the turf in
this state, the entry for the Lawrence
Realization Of 1911 bears testimony.
One hundred and forty nominations
have been made. This compares favor
ably with the entry when the turf was
on secure footing. For the Realiza-
fion of 1910, which was not affected by
. the legislation of 1908, as the race was
q produce stake until this year, there
was total entry of. i29. In 1909 it
wss 1877 The 140 nominations for the
1911 is fiattering showing, which in
dicates that as long as racing associa-
4 lions are willing to take a chance, the
horsenen 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 legislature, makes
no difference. Several tracks are go
ing ahead with meetings. The most
ambitious effort will be made by Sara

. that will compare favorahly with that
Of 1910. In the neighborhood of $3.50
900 will be hung up IN stakes and
purses. 1t will not be poor year at
where. Thirty days racing will be
qiven. perhaps more, None Of the other
associations can undertake as much as
Saratopa under existing conditions. but
fhey will be liberal Other tracks like

Shpepshead Bay. Gravesend, Anueduct
and Empire. None Of these will hold

tsThe opinion Of the reform element
that the legislature will knock the
props from under the anti-betting laws
may as well be dismissed. If the Jockey
elub asks for any concession 1t will be
for relief from the directors liability

what says it will be like breakirl! sticks

Without this law on the statute books,
There is nothing TO hinder the assoeia-
lions from resuming where they left
