Belmont Says High
Stakes Are Running
Horse Racing Sport

New York, Oct. 19.-In a recent talk
with racing men August Belmont, char
man Of the Jockey club, declared tnat
he was opposed to increasing the value
of the stakes and that the competition
among the racing associates, unless
curbed, would lead to financial disaster
"It has come to pass that the .pubhc
isn't interested in important turf COM
petitions unless $4,000 prizes are Of
fered." said Mr.. Belmont. Under ex-
listing conditions in New York state
the associations cannot afford to OTTER
| such inducements, which, in time, are
certain to make the conduct OF racing
impossible"
The pari-mutuel tracks in Maryland,
Kentucky and Canada are responsible
for the s'commercialism" that pervades
racing. The mutuels produce such
enormous profits that the tracks, dom
mated by them, are forced to hang UP
stakes and purses of unheard values.
Horsemen, naturally, are anxious 70
win as much money as possible, for
which reason many Of them prefer
to operate on the mutuel a !
stead of the New York courses. bu'
if these same horsemen could be made
to understand that the New York turf
magpates alone have kept racing alive
thew might be willing to show greater
loyalty to the track owners here:
Racing was practically dead all over
| the country when the New York tracks
closed their gates in 1910. But wher
the sport was revived in 1913, under
burdensome restrictions and with imam.
cial assistance generously subscribed
by members of the Jockey club, racing
n the mutuel states took a new lease
on life.

Thirteen unionists, members of the

They declare they will refuse to carry

lians of o. Henry fame, characters
upon whom he loved to dwell in
facetious manner, are no more, but it
has the same business district" the
same four churches and it's stone
quarry resembling an industry. You
will look in vain for Lithopolis on the
railroad time tables, but the paling
fences on Columbus, South and Main
streets do not bar ~neighborly CONVEX
sation.
The villages scenic atmosphere has
changed but little in the years that have
passed since o. Henry's Letters to
The recipient of these letters was
Miss Mabel Wagnalls, whose mother,
Mrs. Hester Wagnalls, and grand
mother, Mrs. Mary Willis, are buried
in the beautiful little cemetery on the
hill on the road out Of town."
Miss Wagnal's father, at I'M time
a Lutheran minister, is the senior
member of the publishing firm that
bears his name. Miss Wagnalls now is

stead, where Mabel Wagnalls visited,
has burned down, and the Lutheran
church, which adjoined it, is building
