 English Racing Ends.

 With the meetings at Epson, Ascot, Goodwood, and Doncaster abandoned, the prize money for the season naturally showed big falling-off.

Other owners who figure well up in this years prize list are: Sol Joel with 1000; J. B. Joel s49.OO0; E. Hutton s42,O00; Lord Poseberry $40.oO0; Lord Derby $24.- GOO: August Belmont 5000; and Mortimer Singer $12,5OO. The King had a very lean year, his horses earn ing only $4,s75.
 Polymelus heads the list of winning s:res, his progeny haing taken sixteen races of the value of $89,00O. Un- Goubtedly Pommern was the best three-year-o of the season, and turf critics believe that he will turn out to be a horse far above the ordinary classic standard.
