Aug. 1.—Horeee men here are generally pleased with Mr. Butler's announcement that the Empire Assoctation's meting will be run aa echeduled at the Yonkers course. They argue that in reaching this de cision Mr, Butler did the sensible thing. To race at Brighton, as was fret intended, would have been unfair to the county In which the Yonkers course is located, and, secondly, It would have |been a confesison that the track was unfit to race on, as was argued in the long fight for dates. With good racing for purses worth while, the course will certainly be patronized, Several big | stakes are to be run during the meet- |ing, and there will be no reduction in thelr values, as was the case with older mr Hull VLE EAN a dotatlnn ibaa) ee When WE CouLo“ EASILY oo Some FANG FIGHT CLUB MANAGERS WHO STEAL THE PUBLIC'S MONEY AFTER. ___ Pest Poned Bouts? a In the opinion of many horsemen who @iscussed the matter at AACHEN SOMETHING IN THE STRENUOUS LINE ; 5 last nigh MA Budlee WOULD SUCHIA-NAST HELP TO OUR GIANTS 4 is commended for his sportsman and ‘ has made Shaw pact Coast Metropolis May that | Make Bid for Olympic Games of 1912. who been one of the tern circuit this t yesterday.
