WILL OWNERS OUTLAW? Foolish owners, indeed, will any be who allow themselvea to be induced to ran their horses at the proposed outlaw meeting: at Newport. There is abundant opportunity to race all the thoroughbreds in this country over legitimately conducted race tracks and all owners who race their horses at Newport will do so with their eyes wide open to the eertainty that there will be no future reinstatement for them when the outlaw tracks hare cone to the wall, as in the long run they must go. Other outlaw tracks there have been that enjoyed prosperity for a time, but they fell before the sentiment that, lacing conducted solely for gambling purposes, is a nuisance to be suppressed and tho present case is not likely to meet any different fate. It will be wise for owners who may have thought of risking banishment from the authorized and legitimately conducted tracks for a doubtful prospective gain, to take a little time in which to consider their own position when the proposed outlaw racing comes to an end. as it assuredly will. Outcasts from racing they will then deservedly be and such they will hopelessly remain . . .
