UNITED HUNTS AT BELMONT Fall Meeting of Association Will Be Held at Westchester Racing Associations Track. NEW YORK, N. T., September 18. Secretary H. A. Buck of the United Hunts has announced that his organization would give a day of racing on election day at Belmont Park, which had been donated by the Westchester management for the occasion. This is a guarantee that the races will be decided under conditions which should bring good fields to the post, as there is no better field for steeplechasing than that at Belmont Park, while the dirt course has met with the approval of the most captious this autumn. Mr. Buck says there will be three race3 on the flat and a like number through the field, one of which will be designed to attract the best of the jumpers in training. Another will be for hunters, and it ought to be most interesting as quite a number of good young horses have been bought of late and are now being prepared for the circuit of hunt races which will be a feature of the autumn in New Jersey and this state. The meetings of the Essex County and Whippany Hunt Clubs in New Jersey will fit horses thoroughly for the Belmont Park meeting, after which they will move on to the fine old Meadowbrook Hunt on Long Island, where the famous Meadowbrook Steeplechase is to be revived. The news that this one-day meeting is to be held at Belmont Park, with its spaciousness and picturesque quality as the sceen of action will be welcomed by the rank and file of sportsmen, and women too, who see in it a chance to rebuild along bigger and better lines, finally reaching a point where it will be possible to hold meetings of two or three days prior to the opening and immediately following the close of the fiat racing season in this state. The public will have access to practically all of the course and it will be a fine chance for visitors to see Belmont Park when the foliage is at its autumnal best.
