Entries to the stakes offered by the Empire City Racing Association tilled better than Mr. Winn had expected, and the l»est horses racing in the east this year will run in one or more races over the Yonkers track. When asked aliout the racing situation in New York state Mr. Winn said he had been too busy himself to participate in the meetings at Albany, but had kept iu close touch with the leaders of turf affairs, and said: "There has been a big change in sentiment in New York in the last few-days. People have finally become awakened to the fact that the passage of the Aguew-Hart bills at Albany will eventually kill the greatest of all outdoor sports."
