Correspondence of Associated Press)
Newmarket, England, June s.
Newmarket is threatened with the loss
CT its prestige as the principal racing
place in England as a result of the
governments decision to stop racing.
Newmarket is about 65 miles from
! London, possesses the finest race
course and training ground in Eng
land and its 10000 inhabitants have
depended on the racing industry for
i living for many years. The stop
page of racing will have about the
same effect on the place as the TAX
ing away of the sea front would have
en- Coney Island or Atlantic City.
The Rev. IL. B. Young, rector OF
the leading church in Newmarket, is
opposed to the elimination of racing
in his town and hopes that the re-
pert that the government is to con-
sent to modified fJm of racing vii,
prove true.
Every one Of our 10000 people, .
said the rector, directly or Indirect
t., lives on the horses. If racing
were stopped here for two years we
would be a lost city. The whole III
dustry would go down. Breeding would
Geteriorate"
The clergyman Indignantly denied
the charge that Newmarket is san i'm
moral town.
Il Think" he said, that it COM
pares favorably with any town in
England. There is not as much bet
ting here as among the cab drivers
IN London.
"Virtually one-third of the assess
able value of the town is in racing
establishments. A number of train
ers have put their earnings into estab
lishments, starting, say, with $4,000
or $4,000, and adding to it up to
S50,00O. Their life savings will di-
ninish.
There are hundreds of storekeep
crs covering an area of seven or eight
miles Around the town who live on
the racing and its devotees. Hundreds
of others have invested their money

tirely on the patronage of those who
come to see the horses run"
