KING GEORGES UNLUCKY RACING YEAR LONDON, England, October G. The ill-luck of the royal colors on the race course is becoming almost proverbial and has been particularly sharp lately. Joss House was second again September 29, at Newmarket, for the fourth time this season. Up to date the kings horses have been placed second usually by narrow margins on no fewer than eleven occasions, occupied third position five times, and yet, to the great disappointment of all, only succeeded in securing three firsts with John Green, Springbuck and Picardy.
