cup that begins at daybreak over Long
Islands road on October /. It's prize

round in an automobile meet. With a
few notable exception race drivers do
not gamble with life for the poetry of
the thing. It's simply a question of
get the money" that turns them into
motor meteors.
The monetary motive power of the
Elgin meet looks winsome enough to
attract the best drivers to the middle
west course. Prize money aggregating
$4,000 has been deposited by the pro-
moters with Chairman S. M. Butler of
the contest board of the American
Automobile association. OF this
amount $1,000 will be pocketed by the
winner OF the big race on August %.
This four-fligured reward will doubt
less act rather persuaslvely on our
leading opponents of the limit of
speed" game.
Most optimistic reports have been
issued concerning the course. 1t is ex-
pected to be ready for practice in a
week. Scrapers are busy with 1.-THE
edges of the road, widening it and
making everything generally accept
able. Then they have steam roller

Will SANCTION PRIVATE
BETTING AT The RACES

New York, Aug. u.-"Thc Governor
Hughes Meeting" is the unofficial tit
lie that horsemen have given to the
grand circuit races to be held at the
Empire track in New York. Aug % to
q, under the auspices of the newly
organized Trotting Horse Breeders
Club. The meeting represents an at
ing on a new basis in Network and
test the question ms to whether the
sport can survive under a strict en-
forcement of the laws against race
track gambling which Governor Hugh
es has put through the Legislature.
Private wagcrs will not be prohib
tied, but no bookmaker will be allowed
to pursue his business on the grounds.
Two propositions have. been made TO
the club for the privilege of laying
odds, but both were promptly turned
down.
Governor Hughes had a great many
supporters among horsemen identified
with trotting when he stnrted out to
stop bookmaldng on the race tracks
of New York Gen. b. +. Tracy, him
self a breeder of trotting horses, once
said that 75 per cent of the people who
attend trotting meetings never make
n bet on the races.
Most of the patrons and officials of
the Governor Hughes Meeting are
wealthy men whose interest in trot-
ting horses is that of the amateur
stock breeders or fancicr. Nearly all
are themselves prominent breeders,
and the horses they campaign are. for
the most part the product of their
own farms sent TO the turf for the
glory rather than the money they can
win. To finance the meeting 20 or
more of them have subscribed $500
each and are willing To lose it IL nee
essary to sustain high-class harness
