autumn. Pebbles, Fair Count, XII.

METROPOLITAN Handicap, and a special
effort will be made TO get High Noon
ready.
High Moons form was as good last
season as Voters was in 1896, and
Voter. it will be recalled, won the Met
ropolitan Of 1897. Moreover, the sue
cess of Keene bred three-yesr-olds IN
the past in the Brooklyn gives Mr..
Butler substantial reason FOR hoping
that one of his three-yesr-olds may
beat the best OF the older horses IN
this years renewal at Aqueduct OF the
famous Gravesend special.
Some Well Bred Two-Year-Olds.
Mr.. Butler bought his two-year-ol DIS
in the open market last season, and with
one exception his youngsters were by
Castleton Stud stations. The exception

for which he paid $1,000 at the Oxnard
sale. The total cost of his yearlings
was S20900. and he was the most lib

In the trials at Sheepshead Bay last
fall the fastest OF his yearlings was
the rth-Schoolmarm colt,
which he has named Schoolboy. This
fellow was bred at his own farm, near

NO NEW BETTING
SYSTEM ON TRACKS
Owners Thoughts Far Away
from Proposed Scheme to
Eyade the Law.

There will be no new system OF bet
ting introduced at the various New
York race tracks this season. At any
rate the owners OF the various tracks
did not meet or discuss at any previous
meeting the system now In use at the
New Orleans track, as an afternoon
paper said yesterday.
Since the passage Of the Hart-Agnew
laws the racing associations have more
positively than in the days when there
was promiscuous betting made II
known that they have no interest Of
any kind in the speculative end OF
racing.
While there will probably be wager
ing on the race courses this season, as
there always will be so long as horses
run, the Jockey Club and the various
associations intend TO make every eff
fort to keep those who would wager
strictly within the law.

George Bonhag put over another win

at the Erasmus Hall games last Satur-
day night. Without finishing first in
any event he scored enough points to
win. At the Manual Training High

Since Bergman and Hooking grad

POUND class, won easily for Columbia.
He started slowly, and the crowd held
its breath for moment when Becker.
