BARNEY SCHREIBERS RACING FLANS. Louisville, Ky., August 1. — Barney Schreiber, according to reports from Woodlands Cam in Missouri, will race the biggest string of horses at Churchill Downs the coming fall that he has sent to a Kentucky track since the last meeting at Douglas Park in l.KIS. when Dr. Holzberg, Alice George and Sorrowful were members of his stable. Jack Atkin and Sager will not be in the string, as after the Saratoga and flic principal Canadian meetings are over, this pair will be rested up for winter campaigning. The winter months of 1111 will probably wind up the career of Jack Atkin 011 the turf and next spring, it is said. Mr. Schreiber will send him to the stud. The horses Mr. Schreiber will race here the coming fall are chiefly two-year-olds and three-year-olds, those of the latter age being some that Dave Henry broke when he was at Woodlands Farm last year and which have never been trained to any extent. The two-year-olds are chiefly the get of Bannock burn and Sir Hercules and were not developed sufficient ly for early training. In the lot, however, are some promising colts and fillies. Mr. Schreiber is undecided ;ust what to do with his yearlings, many of which are sous and daughters of Sain, out of his choicest mares. Mr. Schreiber counts ou selling at least sixty of his eighty yearlings. Mr. Schreiber has been making a careful investigation of the South American market. Should he ship his yearlings to the Argentine, he will consign about forty mares with them and hi- may himself go along to supervise the marketing of his stock and incidentally see something of racing as it is conducted in the Argentine. Iu face of the blow racing seemingly has been given in New York State. Mr. Schreiber has no .intention of quitting the racing and breeding business, hut under existing conditions he is obliged to curtail his interest in this line, as his holdings now-total 000 head of thoroughbred horses. II. Eugene Leigh, the American trainer who has now long been Iu France, has bum trying to interest Mr. Schreiber in taking a hand in foreign racing. The Missouri turfman, however, figures he is needed at home and that there is enough racing left iu the United States, Canada and Mexico, even without New York, to etiatde him to keep his head above water after he reduces his stud. Mr. Schreiber is a lover of his adopteil land. He believes that the turf will eventually regain its prestige, and that the extremists have about had their day.
