That no attempt to race at Jacksonville, Fla.. will be made next winter was the decision reached Thursday bv the directors of tlie Florida Live Stock and Agricultural State Fair Association, under whose auspices the meetings at Moncrief Park were held. Their action sets at rest reports that they would test the anti-lHtting law passed by the last Legislature. What disposition will be made of the track-lias not iKen disclosed.
