HUNT CLUBS TO EXTEND OPERATIONS. New York. February 25. — Amateur racing, which has prospered wonderfully iu the last few years, will broaden out considerably during 1016. if the plans of the American Masters of Fox Hounds are carried through to completion. At a ■Meting of this association, held yesterday at Madisoa Square Garden, steps were taken to establish circuits of hunt club race meetings in ■et tin— where they are needed. At present there are twenty-nine recognized hunts and of these a great number do not conduct race meetings.
