HORSE RACING.

THE blight cast upon racing in New
York State had its effect on the
= turf throughout the United states
during 1911 ever more markedly than
last year. With the exception of the
few amateur meetings held by the hunt
associations there was practically no
racing. except In Kentucky. Maryland.
Canada and the Far West. and because
OF the heavy expectation OF American
thoroughbreds to Europe It was gener-
ally agreed that what racing there was
was not up to the standard Of other
years.
The biggest winner was Sam Hill
dreth's stable n all his horses cap
tured was So. 76-but q drop in
the bucket compared to the leading
stables winnings Of former years. The
second and third winning stables were
those OF Richard T. Wilson and August
Belmont. These three stables finished
in the order named in 1911 also. The
best Individual winner was Hildreth's
Zeus. which picked up stakes totalling
"a, go. or the three-year-olds performing
during the season Belmont's Watervale
was easily the best. although not a
Derby winner. having hung up a new
Canadian record OF l.5o 2-5 for a mile
and a furlons, after running the mile In
1.37 Hat.
The decline OF racing In the United
States has had a striking illustration
during the year 't~''-' The act that
an American racing abroad won more
than twice as much as the biggest win
ner here. He was James r. Keene.
