NEW YORK RACING OF THE FUTURE New York September 9 Optimists believe there will be racing here next year but on a greatly re ¬ duced scale as to stakes and purses should Governor Hughes be nominated and elected They seem to think that when some of the cases now pending trial have been passed upon by the highest courts specula ¬ tion of some sort can be indulged in So far not a single bookmaker arrested for violating the law and subsequently indicted has been tried by a jury which naturally has the subject of turf betting up in the air airNobody Nobody seems to know at present whether the session at the Beach will be held or not Horsemen are rather bitter in their feelings toward the Brigh ¬ ton management because some owners who won purses at the Beach in July have not as yet been able to get their money It is said that If a meeting is decided on many horsemen will refuse to make entries which undoubtedly will reduce tile quality of the sport sportBut But if as is probable the Jockey Clnb will oper ate the meutlng itself It will be a good one
