EMPIRE CITY FALL RACING FIGURES S. C HILDRETHS LUCK CHANGES AND HE LEADS THE MONEY- WINNING OWNERS OF MEETING JOCKEY ENSORS RIDING A DISTINCTIVE FEATURE The final meeting of tha year on the Metropolitan racing circuit was held at Empire City from October 1C to October 30, and during the thirteen days of racing 18,791 was distributed in stakes and purses,-the daily average distribution amounting to ,137. More of the better grade of horses remained to participate in the racing at the Yonkers course than has been the case in past years, with the result that the sport was on a par with that seen on the other New York tracks. Fine weather, with the exception of .the last few days, was an important factor in keeping up the attendance, which was of goodly proportions throughout the meeting. A break in the ill-luck that has been pursuing, the Hildreth stable this year came during the Empire meeting with the result- that that capable turfmans name appears at the head of tiie money-winning owners, his horses having won seven races and 0,109. It. T. Wilson and; O. K. Moore also fared exceedingly well, the former finishing, second with ,970 to his credit, while the latters earnings amounted to 7,638.
