A compilation of the leading money win- . ners of the American turf for a period of ! something more than forty years: shows that sixty horses have won $70,000 or over, and that twenty-nve have come within the | tharmed circle of winners of $100,00(> or over. The sixty horses have earned the grand total of $5,981,271. James R. Keene, vice-rhainran of the Jockey Club, has the distinction of having owned and raced the five leaders— Domino. Colin, Bysonby, Ballot and Kingston, of which he bred Colin, Ballot and Kingston. Colin, which was shipr<?d to England in the fall of 1908, but failed to race abroad he- cause of some danger of breaking down. v/as unbeaten. In all probability he would have supplanted Don Uno at the top if he bad trained on. Rosehen, the great weight carrying sprin- ter, was the last horse to get in the $100, >j0 class.

Sw lgert it>,»o a* .srreat a crowd as that which heralded the opening of the tenth national autonio- liiie show of the Licensed Automobile Manufacturers was on hand for the closing- v SUSS last night. Although the show had been in progress fcr eight business «lays. the last day in point Of attendance, and surely in the amount of business transacted, was felly as «rreat as if not greater than any throughout the week. Just before the '\u25a0 lights went out one manufacturer paid: "Taken as a whole the stew has been a prodigious success: one unequalled by any previous industrial exposition !n the annals of the industry. Sales without number were transacted, and all the makers. and dealers feel that the week has left its insrk on the business of the year. The full value of the show has not yet been appreciated. Its influences will be felt for weeks and months to come. It revived general interest and gave added impetus to not only local bat likewise national trade, creating as it did many prospective purchasers of the motor vehicle. "There was not a city of any conse- quence cast of the Rocky Mountains that did not have one or more representatives st the Fhow, and these men will return to their home cities full of the gospel of the motor, thoroughly enthusiastic and flowing over with information relative to toe great strides and advancement that have been made in the industry since the <5?.y when some ten years ago New York •aw its first motor show. In this way, at least, the exposition has been one of great value in an educational manner.*' The show displayed no indications or an overproduction In motor vehicles. ThA consensus of opinion last night was that instead of an overproduction the country \u25a0will within th« next two months wake up to the stern facts th^at deliveries are slow, and there, will be a dearth of the cars \u25a0(Met have been on exhibition in the •harden during the last eight day«. The machines shown were of the so-called high grade class, constructed with intent of producing the highest and "best, each as non-i but selected material and work- manship can produce. While it is a fact that the motor cars displayed In the Garden were as perfect as human ingenuity has as yet made possible, they have not yet reached the stage of perfection. No matter how thoroughly re- liable. efficient, lasting or capable a motor car may become, the fact remains that th© human desire to excel will ever force for- ward efforts to improve and create new products. But. as the show displayed, the effort* and plans of the future will not be permitted to run riot with experience of the past or present, but instead will be confined to well denned and well regulated lines. In speaking of the show Colonel George Pope, chairman of the show committee said: "The committee feels deeply grateful to every member of th© association for sup- port given it to make this the one show above all others. We fully realize that without that active assistance such results as have been recorded would be absolutely impossible. It was one monster and abso- lutely complete industrial exhibit. The suc- cess of the same is abundantly proven by I the k*"=n Interest shown therein by the peo- ' pie, not only of New York, but from all ov^r the country. "As to the management I care not to Fpeak. There Is one thins, however, which : I cannot too strongly emphasize, and that Is the manner and scheme of this year's decoration.-, over which W. W. Knowles ' labored so long and diligently. To him is ' due no Fmall amount of the credit of the week. I honestly believe that this has without exception been the most success- ful and complete motor car show ever held in this or any other country, ranking on a par with the Paris Salon and the Olympic \u25a0bow of England " The show held the attention of the fash- tenable set until the end, and there ap- peared to be no diminution in the general attendance up to the closing hour last night. Robert Walton Goelet. who was present in the afternoon, said it was his opinion that Colonel George Pope's suggestion to ha vie a fhow lasting two weeks next year was a good one. He said there were many " like himself who found it difficult to give up the time necessary to properly see the many interesting exhibits in one week. "For instance," added Mr. Goelet, "Icame here to-day expecting to spend but half an hour, and I have already been here two ! hours. Now I must go and telephone my ; Inability to keep one of my engagements." I Mr. Goelet, who recently became the owner j »rf one of the largest and most famous of ; the old. shooting preserves in France, will etiortly sail with a party of friends to , entend the remainder of the season abroad. j H« paid he had seen all the big foreign ! \u25a0hove, but that the "tenth national" was ' superior of all. A rather amusing feature was furnished by M- Trimble Wyatt, who is able to boast ,rf 6 feet 3 Inches. His father. Judge I wnilam E. Wyatt, gave him money for a I motor car as a present upon his coming j cf age last -week, and young Wyatt has 1 been spending the greater part of the week ; at the Garden in an unsuccessful effort to ! make a selection. The cause of this re- | m-Lrkable indecision, according to Mr. "VTratt, is that in no car in which he has » seated himself back of the steering wheel , has there been eufflclent room to place his I knees. However, in almost every case the - obliging 1 manufacturers, have offered to . overcome that slight objection by building I; car to order. I Judge "William H.

BuU*r, of th* Amt-rirun K'eeJ Fo-jnirlfeJi Corporation, a six-cylinder Mitchell Motor Car Company Broadening Out. [By Telegraph to The Tribune.] Chicago, Jan. 15.—The most important move that has occurred in motor circles for several years was the amalgamation at Racine yesterday, of the Mitchell Motor Car Company, makers of the Mitchell au- tomobile, and the Mitchell & Lewis Com- pany, Limited, makers of farm and spring wagons since 1834. The new concern, which will be known as the Mitchell-Lewis Motor Company, is capitalized at $10,000,000 and is headed by William Mitchell Lewis, son of William T. Lewis, who has hereto- fore been at the head of both concerns. Every dollar's worth of the stock Is held within the Mitchell and Lewis families, and there will be no bonds or floating in- debtedness. The combination of the two concerns was made necessary by the rapidly In- creasing demand for their products, which neither has. heretofore been able to fill. It is a most striking example of prosperity. The facilities of the two concerns, which are built close together, will permit the manufacture of all bodies, springs. cast- Ings and every solitary part and detail of pleasure cars, motor trucks and motor farm wagons. The object of the new con- cern is, of course, to continue the manu- facture of Mitchell cars on a greater scale than heretofore, of farm and spring wagons, motor trucks, light motor delivery wagons and a light combination motor business wagon for fanners' use. The regular, farm and spring wagon product which has been manufactured by the Mitchell & Lewis Company, Limited, will be largely Increased, so that orders from all parts of the world may be prompt- ly filled. This is also true of the product Of the Mitchell Motor Car Company, and large additions to both factories will he started at once to care for the largely In- 1tea>ed output. William T. Lewis, who has been at' the head of both institutions for many year*, will retire from active work, but will re- main in an advisory capacity as chairman of the new board of directors. Th« new officers are as follows: r^f£^ n ST Wmiam Mitchell Lewis; vice- ££• lent, Henry 't£; Mitchell; vlce-presl- ? wit h 11 8 ? Wilson; treasurer.

BIG AVTO COMB IX "We were placed in a rather peculiar po- sition during this show," said an official of the Pleree-Arrow Motor Car Company, of Buffalo, •'owing- to the fact that our New York distributer and several others from cities nearby had already sold all the cars we could give them for the present model season. Consequently all fiad for sale were those of the next model to be produced, and the business along that line has been satisfactory ln the extreme." E. J. Willis, president of the Federation of American Motorcyclists, spoke on the future of the F. A. M. Dr. J. P. Thornley, competition chairman of the association, delivered an address on "professionalism ' Mr. W. P. Remppis, secretary of the Motorcycle Manufacturers' Association, delivered an address concerning the manu- lacturo of those little spa.cc annihilators. "So far as actual business done at the pliow is concerned," said Mr. Benson, of vhe Cadillac company, last night, •'there has been plenty of it offered us, but we have not been in a position to accept any in addition to what we already have. The factory has practically not taken an order eince September 1, at which time we had accepted contracts and deposits for every car we can possibly build, and the Cadil- lac company intends building ten thousand 1910 models." The, Metropolitan Association of Motnr- cyde Clubs held a beefsteak dinner on Friday evening at Castle Cave. There were two hundred and fifty motorcycle enthusiasts present. C A. Mariana acted as toastmaster. Several interesting speeches were made by pmniinent motor- cycle manufacturers. The new plant of the Ford Motor Com- pany has a capacity of 200 complete cars a day. In addition to the assembly plant. a 76x862 four-story concrete and glass building. th?re is a machine shop 840x140 feet, one story, and a shop office building, 75x140 feet, four stories high. A foundation is to be Ftarted at once, and a three-story inOxoOn office building will be built in the spring. Other buildings being planned will soon cover the entire sixty-acre tract which the Ford company owns at Highland Park. James K. <*hristie. of the American locomotive Company, manufacturers of the Alco cur, said at the show last qight: "We have made many sales and closed orders for cars with persons who for many mr-nths have been thinking of buying cars. This, without question, is the best show ever."' Umousine to Mrs. C. M Silverman, a sis- cylinder touring car to W. D. Sargent and a four-cylinder limousine to George E. Hardy. ys' luyvesant 11. S. Basketball Players Win Sixth Victory.

The "junior and senior basketball teams of Public School 109, of Brooklyn, won the right to play for the Public School Ath- letic League elementary school champion- ship, when they defeated Public Schools 89 and S3, of Queens Borough, at the 47th Regiment armory yesterday, by the respec- tive scores of 18 to 12 and 21 to 10. The Brooklyn teams wll! now contest for the title with Public School 62, of Manhattan, on the same court next Saturday afternoon. Both the games yesterday were hard fought. Although the winning teams de- feated their rivals with reasonable ease, their playing did not seem to presage vic- tory over their Manhattan rivals, who havo swept everything before them up to the somi-nnal round.

TOAST FOR PLAYERS. Reaches Final Round for In- door hawn Tennis Title. One of the veteran regimental cham- pions. Calhoun Orasrin, went down to de- feat in the sf»mi-final round of the cham- pionship singles yesterday on the board courts of the 7th Regiment Armory, <s*sth street and Park avenue. Tie was beaten by Walter Merrill Hall at 6-4. 6-t. and the latter now couples -with the present holder r>f the title. William B. Oragin, jr., fa* the titular honors. Valentine Treat yon the Class B handicap after five gruelling sets. Ho defeated John Loughran, minus half 15. 6-0. 6-2. 2-6. 2-6. 6-2. Treat held the position of scratch player in this cla?.«, and his staying qualities in a long session at footfng around the court car- ried him through to victory. The championship doubles were brought up to the finals as William B. Cragin. jr.. and Walter Merrill Hall in the semi- final round defeated t'alhoun Cragin_ and Arthur S. Cragin. 2-6. 10-8, 6-3. This proved a hard and fast competition, with the losing pair several times c!of« to tak- ing the match. As the pairs now stand the winners are coupled with King Smith and Morris S. Clark for the title. The fact that the same players were, scattered through all of the contests on the card somewhat curtailed the programme for the day. The semi-final ln doubles was tho first to hold the courts, with the re- sult that Calhoun and Arthur Cragin easily won the first set. They led at 5-;< on the senond, when William < "ragin and Wal- ter Merrill Hall stiffened their pam«». Th» rallies were prolonged so that the ban tften crossed the net twenty times before William Cragin and Hall worked the games to deuce at 5-all. At 7-6. with Will - iam Cragin serving, the losing pair led at 30-lbve and 49-15. but Halls Pteady placing to tho loft court earned the aces and brought the games to deuce at 7-a'l. The service held the r-airs even to 8-all, at which William • 'ragin and Hall broke, through on service and won at 10-S. Their yprrri and skill in manoeuvring tor the left court was the principal feature of their work, and they are regarded as the prob- able winners of the championship. Hall then followed in the single semi- final against Calhoun tYagin, who has several times held the champions-hip. Hall was piaytng his forehand drives with an accuracy that at all times kept his opponent upon the defensive. Calhoun Cragin made. use. of all the strategy that he knew. He changed his pace frequently, and in the first set forced the majority of the games to deuce. It was without effect, however, for Hall was at the top of his game, taking the first set by a close mar- gin and walking through the second set with the loss of only one game. The summaries follow: Regimental championship singles ispmi- final round) — William B. t'raf-in. jr., defeated Arthur 8.

Clay Court Followers Want a Tourney for National Title. The threatened fight for control ,of the United States National Lawn Tennis Asso- ciation has begun between the Western and Eastern clubs, as Indicated by the receipt of an open letter by lawn tennis followers in this city yesterday, signed by Dr. \ P. B. Hawk, of the University of Illinois, Urbana. 111. He was the ambassador of the West- ern and Southern clubs to the national ex- ecutive committee meeting held at the Wal- dorf-Astoria the last of December. In no uncertain manner Dr. Hawk stated that the Western players were of the opin- ion that the national association had con- fined its usefulness mainly to the Eastern clubs and that th» West wished to hold a national clay court championship in a most representative manner at Omaha. St. Ix>uls or Cincinnati. But members of the executive committee — A. L. Hopkins. Rob- ert D. Wrer.n. William A. learned. William J. Clothier and Palmer E. Presbrey— de- clared their opposition to the wishes of the West. iV ; -V Dr. Hawk, at the time, called attention to the insistent letters from M. D. Mc- Donald, of the St. Louis Amateur Athletic Ap=o iation; John T. Bailey, of A'hinn. OWa.. and W M. Wood. Omaha Field Club; also stating that three executives* — Ra'ph Holterhoff. Cincinnati; I* D. S< otf. At- lanta, am? L,. H. Waidner. Chi' ac" had favored the proposed cliampl" The threat of the W-st and South to with- draw from the present association unless the championship was awarded trem as a national meeting and the sport given ade- quate supervision In the future failed to move the committee. That tho West is aroused and expect 3 to come into the annual meeting nsat month with suffiVient proxies to control the situation is evident from the letter Dr. Hawk has issued. The "Westerners count upon the support of several influential East- ern clubs also, and a review of the associa- tion membership by a, prominent follower of laun tennis appears to give them slightly more than half the votes that may te cast. In the estimation cf several Eastern players tho national association is destined to reap tho rebuke that Us loose govern- ment of the sport has called forth in the last two seasons. The bitterest tight in tha history of the American game Is at hand. with the certainty that the West and South will prevail or organize another national governing body. The open letter from Dr. Hawk, under date of January 10. follows: To my "clay court" friends throughout th« United Stales. . . During my recent visit to New York City on business connected with the rank- ing oi. the lawn tennis players of the United States, I followed the suggestion made by several of you and secured an expression from leading lawn tennis ex- ponents in the East upon the "clay court proposition." Permit me to make report to the effect that the general sentiment as expressed at a. meeting held at the Wal- dorf-Astoria v.as opposed to the sanction- ing of a "national clay court champion- ship," some of those present being more outspoken than others. 1 presented as best I could the claims of the West and South for such a cham- pionship, arguing along lines similar to those embraced in letters in October and December issues of "American Lawn Ten- nis." I called their attention to the -fact that in certain portions of the country- there was a feeling of unrest and a. dis- position to consider that the national asso- ciation had not given th© tennis playeA of these, sections a "square deal. I then cited the letters of Messrs. Wood, Mc- Donald and Bailey in December issue of "American Lawn Tennis" as indicating this spirit of un.-est and dissatisfaction. I interpreted this sentiment as indicating that unless the clay court championship were sanctioned at the annual meeting a "split" would result, and certain clubs would withdraw from the associa- tion. I then proceeded to argue that such a "split" would be detrimental to the- best interests of lawn tennis In the United States. Following this. I called- attention to the- fact that we were in the midst of a "tennis boom"; that there were a larger number of tournaments held last summer under the auspices of the association than ever before, and that the list of entries in many of these events were surprisingly large. All this indicated increasing develop- ment of lawn tennis interests, and nowhere was this development more apparent than in the West and South. 1 then called their attention to the fact that the time was past when all the really "big" tennis features were held upon Eastern courts, and cited, among others, the star lawn tennis events of Omaha. Cincinnati. St. Louis and A- lanta. In this connection I expressed the opinion that should a clay court champion- ship bo sanctioned by the association and given to one of the above cities, it would soon become one of the biggest and most Important of the whole lawn tennis sched- ule. I called attention to - the spirit of "hustle" prevalent in lawn tennis circles in these sections, shoved how the ad- herents were full of enthusiasm for their favorite sport, and that failure on the part of the leaders to read the signs aright might result in action which would be a serious handicap to lawn tennis in this country. I shoved how the permis- sion for holding this clay court event would in no way interfere with the na- tional championship at Newport. while. at the same time it would giv*> proper recog- nition to the clay court players of our country, and in this way effectively * pro- vent a "scrap" and a consequent "split." I am sorry to say that some of our Eastern friends seem to believe that we have some concealed motive in asking for this clay court event. They appear to be- lieve, that everything Is not "so innocent as it seem*, and that eventually we may wish to call our clay court event the real lawn tennis championship of the country. If such a sentiment exists. I must say I am unaware of it. and so expressed • my- self. In this connection they suggested that the event be styled "the open clay court championship." thus eliminating the word "national" and the phrase "of the United States." In other words, the tour- nament with this name would carry no title. It would be an open clay court cham- pionship, but a championship of nothing. I told them I did not believe such a plan would meet with yo«r approval. If I did not correctly express your sentiment, you may so announce at the annual meeting President Dwight not being present 'at the meeting, I went to Boston to have » conference with him. He favors our propo- sition, and will assist us at the annual meeting, with the distinct understanding that the clay court event shall . not - l*j considered as the real lawn tennis cham- Dionshlp of the country. i expressed "•, Dr. Dwlght the belief . that should M\e clay court event be- voted down there would probably be a "split" In the associa- tion." Therefore, a logical move in order to preserve the integrity of our national asso- ciation seemed to me to be the securing of proxies to vote at the annual meeting H I do not wish this suggestion -to indicate that I am counselling a flglu against the national association. I am not a politician nor a "scrapper." I am. however, a lawn tennis player who dearly loves the noble same, an.i who also dearly cherishes the lawn tennis traditions of this country and is jealous for our lawn tennis prestige as \u25a0 nation. I see that grave consequences may follow the failure of the- association to sanction this clay court event. There- fur**, in order to preserve our association Intact and in order that the wave of- our national lawn tennis prosperity may catlier increasing power and may not dash itself to pieces upon the rocks of a sec- tional controversy. I suggest that all frleiuls of the clay court scheme see to It that as many clubs as can possibly do so f=en«l personal representative* to the an- nual meeting to bo held In New York on February I. and that such clubs as cannot send representatives use rare that • their proxies are placed In the nan.ls of friends of the clay court championship.* In the sending of representative?, lot me \u25a0all attention to the fact that there are many "brainy" mm opposed to our propo- sition, an.l that these samp men will be present at the annual meeting ami will Hrßu»> In opposition to the sanctioning of this event. Therefore, we must be repre- sented by our mokt tlnlshed and earnest speakers. • men who are thoroughly in sympathy with the movement and In Vloso touch with all of its Important bearings. Th* case must he presented distinctly "on its merits'" at th* annual meeting. i am sure, that we will find ••\u25a0\u25a0 opponents open '" conviction, and believe if our %m Is proporlv prevented thfct \» »• will receive a tivorahle vote. However. lot everybody "set busy" and "May..busy" until 'after February 4. iHi iii th* interests cf our "national" lawn tennis development WEST DEFERS ACTIOS WAR CLOUDS GATHER.
