CURTAIN FALLS
ON RACING In
EAST FOR 1912.
Not a Prosperous Year and Some
Horse Owners Are in the
Doldrnms.
MOST STABLES TO TAKE A REST


Norfolk. Va. Nov. so.-Ring down the
curtain. The horse racing play 10 over
for the year 1glz II has not been
very successful production. but neverthe-
less little something for the lovers OF
the horse.
The performers have not been first
class except in one or two Instances. Il
has been what the theatrical folk term
an ''oh season" To-day VIII see the last
OF The thoroughbreds IN this section Of the
country until next spring. and when the
"an right sign has been huns. UP after
the last race at Norfolk this afternoon
there win be many a horse owner who
will look over his stock and wonder how
he is going to provide the fodder for
the winter. or at least until the proposed
meeting begins at Charleston next jan
uary.
II is safe to say that 20 per cent OF the
horsemen are practically broke, for few
could live on the meager purses that
have been offered during the year. Those
who have sufficient funds to winter
quietly are fortunate. for they can give
their horses a much-needed rest and
come back again in the spring with bright
prospects.
Everybody Is concerned about racing
In New York next year. There are all
sorts OF rumors and prophecies. The sit
uation is trifie better than II was this
time last year. as the courts came TO the
rescue in the Shane case Summaries:
When judges at the jamestown race
track to-day refused 70 disquaiify His
Majesty for humping Lahore. in the
Exchange Handicap. they made q very
unpopular decision. and the crowd gave
vent to their feelings by a howl of dis
approval.
Jockey Ambrose. who rode Lahore.
charged that Jockey Turner, on His Maj
esty. fouled his horse at the last quarter
pole. The foul was so fragrant that two
thirds OF the spectators expected the
judges would disquaIify His Majesty and
give the race to Lahore. His NAjesty
finished 1--WE lengths ahead OF lahore,
who got second money.
