NEW YORK. Oct. 21.-With the clos
ns OF the Laurel meet TO-DAY and that at
Pinlico Monday the very limited racing
season OF 1911 comes 10 an end. AS both
these meets nave been reasonably sue
cessful. there is every prospect that they
will be continued with longer dates next
year.
The Latonia meet stiI has a couple of
weeks TO run and then racing men will
go south for the winter. The Juarcz
Jockey clubs winter meeting will open
on November 30 Racing will continue

meeting TO be held in Mexico City this

expressed himself aS pleased with pros
poets for good meetings at both Mexico
City and Juarez. Mr.. Wynn is in Mexico
City TO make arrangements for the open
Ing there about week later.
Brighton Beach and Aqueduct tracks in

OF the racing laws In this state. The
legislature TO be elected next month is
likely TO be less favorable TO racing than
the one which failed to pass the Gittens

Harness Horses Go Lame.
This season viii go down in history OF
hopes" From one cause or another,
| more noted trotters and PAGERS nave gone
wrong than In any previous year. Many
thing every season. bur never did II
reach the proportions Of this year.
The touted good ones began disappear
ing from view ALMOST before the tapping
OF the. bell at Indianapolis in early June.
and since then many others which were

First there was a Joe Patcnen H.,

Then came the trouble with Lady
Green Goods. the spring favorte for the
NJ. and M. trotting stakes. Her mile
down In Kentucky In 2:0sS showed she
fllng only. few OF the engagements
upon which payments had been made.
and still possesses only the ESQ mark
that she made as yearling.
Nor are those two stake horses. admit
tedly the best among the trotters and
PAGERS before the seasons opening. by
any means the only ones that have not
only fallen short OF expectations, but
broken down. George II. Eastabrook, the
Denver horseman, was expected 10 have
the best stable OF any individual owner
| this season. but misfortune followed mis-
fortune with the horses in Gus Macy's
charge and for five weeks the entire lot
were laid up al Lexington.
Many High-P Priced Failures.
Anvil, the NJ. and NJ. winner. has not
been started since. although shortly after
his triumph in the Detroit classic, Frank
would lower the worlds four-year- old
| stallion record OF e:o5i. TO the credit. Of
Directum. In fact, OF the thirty-two
and Manufacturers at Detroit. there Is
hardly one that has proved a really high
| class and consistent race horse. Only
OF those Lewis Forrest. 2oS,, probably
has done the best, all things considered.
New England owners have Shared With

Chester W. Lasell OF Whjttnsville has
been unfortunate with his stake mare.

price last fall with the NJ. and NJ. In

her expected form. Bob Proctor, who

Not in years have the futurity colts

the best possible evidence Of their game
