James R. Keene Owned and Raced the FiveLeading Horses— Domino at the Top.

A compilation of the leading money win- .ners of the American turf for a period of !something more than forty years: showsthat sixty horses have won $70,000 or over,

and that twenty-nve have come within the |tharmed circle of winners of $100,00(> orover. The sixty horses have earned thegrand total of $5,981,271.

James R. Keene, vice-rhainran of theJockey Club, has the distinction of havingowned and raced the five leaders— Domino.Colin, Bysonby, Ballot and Kingston, ofwhich he bred Colin, Ballot and Kingston.

Colin, which was shipr<?d to England in thefall of 1908, but failed to race abroad he-cause of some danger of breaking down.v/as unbeaten. In all probability he wouldhave supplanted DonUno 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. H« was retired last year, and isrow being used as a saddle horse by th«daughter of .Tames W. Wadsworth, a mem-ber of the State Kacinsr Commission.

a* .srreat a crowd as that which heraldedthe opening of the tenth national autonio-liiie show of the Licensed AutomobileManufacturers was on hand for the closing-v SUSS last night. Although the show hadbeen in progress fcr eight business «lays. thelast day in point Of attendance, and surelyin the amount of business transacted, wasfelly as «rreat as if not greater than anythroughout the week. Just before the '\u25a0lights went out one manufacturer paid:

"Taken as a whole the stew has been aprodigious success: one unequalled by anyprevious industrial exposition !n the annalsof the industry. Sales without numberwere transacted, and all the makers. anddealers feel that the week has left itsinsrk on the business of the year. Thefull value of the show has not yet beenappreciated. Its influences will be felt forweeks and months to come. It revivedgeneral interest and gave added impetusto not only local bat likewise nationaltrade, creating as it did many prospectivepurchasers of the motor vehicle.

"There was not a city of any conse-quence cast of the Rocky Mountains thatdid not have one or more representativesst the Fhow, and these men will returnto their home cities full of the gospel ofthe motor, thoroughly enthusiastic andflowing over with information relative totoe great strides and advancement thathave been made in the industry since the<5?.y when some ten years ago New York•aw its first motor show. In this way, atleast, the exposition has been one of greatvalue in an educational manner.*'

The show displayed no indications or anoverproduction In motor vehicles. ThAconsensus of opinion last night was thatinstead of an overproduction the country\u25a0will within th« next two months wake upto 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«. Themachines shown were of the so-calledhigh grade class, constructed with intentof producing the highest and "best, eachas non-i but selected material and work-manship can produce.

While it is a fact that the motor carsdisplayed In the Garden were as perfect ashuman ingenuity has as yet made possible,they have not yet reached the stage ofperfection. No matter how thoroughly re-liable. efficient, lasting or capable a motorcar may become, the fact remains that th©human desire to excel will ever force for-ward efforts to improve and create newproducts. But. as the show displayed, theeffort* and plans of the future will not bepermitted to run riot with experience ofthe past or present, but instead will beconfined to well denned and well regulatedlines.

In speaking of the show Colonel GeorgePope, chairman of the show committeesaid:

"The committee feels deeply grateful toevery member of th© association for sup-port given it to make this the one showabove all others. We fully realize thatwithout that active assistance such resultsas have been recorded would be absolutelyimpossible. Itwas one monster and abso-lutely complete industrial exhibit. The suc-cess of the same is abundantly proven by

Ithe k*"=n Interest shown therein by the peo-'pie, not only of New York, but from allov^r the country.

"As to the management Icare not toFpeak. There Is one thins, however, which :Icannot too strongly emphasize, and thatIs the manner and scheme of this year'sdecoration.-, over which W. W. Knowles

'

labored so long and diligently. To him is'

due no Fmall amount of the credit of theweek. Ihonestly believe that this haswithout exception been the most success-ful and complete motor car show ever heldin this or any other country, ranking ona 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 generalattendance up to the closing hour lastnight.

Robert Walton Goelet. who was presentin the afternoon, said it was his opinionthat Colonel George Pope's suggestion toha vie a fhow lasting two weeks next yearwas a good one. He said there were many"like himself who found it difficult to giveup the time necessary to properly see themany interesting exhibits in one week."For instance," added Mr. Goelet, "Icamehere to-day expecting to spend but half anhour, and Ihave already been here two!hours. Now Imust go and telephone my; Inability to keep one of my engagements."

IMr. Goelet, who recently became the ownerj»rf one of the largest and most famous of; the old. shooting preserves in France, willetiortly 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 aImotor car as a present upon his coming

j cf age last -week, and young Wyatt has1 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 hisIknees. However, in almost every case the-

obliging1 manufacturers, have offered to. overcome that slight objection by buildingI; car to order.I Judge "William H. Moore, of horse showI fame, was one of the visitors. Others pre?-

Mitchell Motor Car CompanyBroadening Out.

[ByTelegraph to The Tribune.]Chicago, Jan. 15.—The most important

move that has occurred in motor circlesfor several years was the amalgamationat Racine yesterday, of the Mitchell MotorCar Company, makers of the Mitchell au-tomobile, and the Mitchell & Lewis Com-pany, Limited, makers of farm and springwagons since 1834. The new concern,which willbe known as the Mitchell-LewisMotor Company, is capitalized at $10,000,000and 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 heldwithin the Mitchell and Lewis families,and there will be no bonds or floating in-debtedness.

The combination of the two concernswas made necessary by the rapidly In-creasing demand for their products, whichneither has. heretofore been able to fill.Itis a most striking example of prosperity.The facilities of the two concerns, whichare built close together, will permit themanufacture of all bodies, springs. cast-Ings and every solitary part and detail ofpleasure cars, motor trucks and motorfarm wagons. The object of the new con-cern is, of course, to continue the manu-facture of Mitchell cars on a greaterscale than heretofore, of farm and springwagons, motor trucks, lightmotor deliverywagons and a light combination motorbusiness wagon for fanners' use.

The regular, farm and spring wagonproduct which has been manufactured bythe Mitchell & Lewis Company, Limited,will be largely Increased, so that ordersfrom all parts of the world may be prompt-ly filled. This is also true of the productOf the Mitchell Motor Car Company, andlarge additions to both factories will hestarted at once to care for the largely In-1tea>ed output.

William T. Lewis, who has been at' thehead of both institutions for many year*,will retire from active work, but will re-main in an advisory capacity as chairmanof the new board of directors. Th« newofficers are as follows:r^f£ nST Wmiam Mitchell Lewis; vice-££• lent, Henry 't£; Mitchell; vlce-presl-

BIG AVTO COMBIX

"We were placed in a rather peculiar po-sition during this show," said an officialof the Pleree-Arrow Motor Car Company,of Buffalo, •'owing- to the fact that ourNew York distributer and several othersfrom cities nearby had already sold all thecars we could give them for the presentmodel season. Consequently all fiad forsale were those of the next model to beproduced, and the business along that linehas been satisfactory ln the extreme."

E. J. Willis, president of the Federationof American Motorcyclists, spoke on thefuture of the F. A. M. Dr. J. P. Thornley,competition chairman of the association,

Mr. W. P. Remppis, secretary of theMotorcycle Manufacturers' Association,delivered an address concerning the manu-lacturo of those little spa.cc annihilators.

"So far as actual business done at thepliow is concerned," said Mr. Benson, ofvhe Cadillac company, last night, •'there hasbeen plenty of it offered us, but we havenot been in a position to accept any inaddition to what we already have. Thefactory has practically not taken an ordereince September 1, at which time we hadaccepted contracts and deposits for everycar we can possibly build, and the Cadil-lac company intends building ten thousand1910 models."

The, Metropolitan Association of Motnr-cyde Clubs held a beefsteak dinner onFriday evening at Castle Cave. Therewere two hundred and fifty motorcycle

enthusiasts present. C A. Mariana actedas toastmaster. Several interestingspeeches were made by pmniinent motor-cycle manufacturers.

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 boardcourts of the 7th Regiment Armory, <s*sthstreet and Park avenue. Tie was beatenby Walter Merrill Hall at 6-4. 6-t. and thelatter now couples -with the present holderr>f the title. William B. Oragin, jr., fa*the titular honors. Valentine Treat yon

the Class B handicap after five gruellingsets. Ho defeated John Loughran, minushalf 15. 6-0. 6-2. 2-6. 2-6. 6-2. Treat heldthe position of scratch player in thiscla?.«, and his staying qualities in a longsession at footfng around the court car-ried him through to victory.

The championship doubles were broughtup to the finals as William B. Cragin. jr..and Walter Merrill Hall in the semi-final round defeated t'alhoun Cragin_ andArthur S. Cragin. 2-6. 10-8, 6-3. This proveda hard and fast competition, with thelosing pair several times c!of« to tak-ing the match. As the pairs nowstand the winners are coupled with KingSmith and Morris S. Clark for the title.

The fact that the same players were,

scattered through all of the contests on thecard somewhat curtailed the programmefor the day. The semi-final ln doubles wastho first to hold the courts, with the re-sult that Calhoun and Arthur Cragineasily won the first set. They led at 5-;< onthe senond, when William < "ragin and Wal-ter Merrill Hall stiffened their pam«». Th»rallies were prolonged so that the bantften crossed the net twenty times beforeWilliam Cragin and Hall worked thegames to deuce at 5-all. At 7-6. with Will

-iam Cragin serving, the losing pair ledat 30-lbve and 49-15. but Halls Pteady

placing to tho loft court earned the acesand 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. Theiryprrri and skill in manoeuvring tor the leftcourt was the principal feature of theirwork, and they are regarded as the prob-

able winners of the championship.Hall then followed in the single semi-

final against Calhoun tYagin, who hasseveral times held the champions-hip.

Hall was piaytng his forehand drives withan accuracy that at all times kept hisopponent upon the defensive. CalhounCragin made. use. of all the strategy thathe knew. He changed his pace frequently,

and in the first set forced the majority ofthe games to deuce. It was without effect,however, for Hall was at the top of hisgame, taking the first set by a close mar-gin and walking through the second setwith the loss of only one game.

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 receiptof an open letter by lawn tennis followersin 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.Inno 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 Easternclubs and that th» West wished to holda national clay court championship in amost representative manner at Omaha. St.Ix>uls or Cincinnati. But members of theexecutive committee

—A. L. Hopkins. Rob-

ert D. Wrer.n. William A. learned. WilliamJ. Clothier and Palmer E. Presbrey— de-

clared their opposition to the wishes of theWest. iV;-V

Dr. Hawk, at the time, called attentionto the insistent letters from M. D. Mc-Donald, of the St. Louis Amateur AthleticAp=o iation; John T. Bailey, of A'hinn.

OWa.. and W M. Wood. Omaha Field Club;

also stating that three executives*—

had favored the proposed cliampl"The threat of the W-st and South to with-draw from the present association unlessthe championship was awarded trem as anational 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 nsatmonth with suffiVient proxies to control thesituation is evident from the letter Dr.Hawk has issued. The "Westerners countupon 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 destinedto reap tho rebuke that Us loose govern-ment of the sport has called forth in thelast two seasons. The bitterest tight in thahistory of the American game Is at hand.with the certainty that the West and Southwill prevail or organize another nationalgoverning body.

The open letter from Dr. Hawk, underdate 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 theUnited States, Ifollowed the suggestionmade by several of you and secured anexpression from leading lawn tennis ex-ponents in the East upon the "clay courtproposition." Permit me to make reportto the effect that the general sentiment asexpressed 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 moreoutspoken than others.

1 presented as best Icould the claimsof the West and South for such a cham-pionship, arguing along lines similar tothose embraced in letters in October andDecember issues of "American Lawn Ten-nis." Icalled their attention to the -factthat 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 playeAof these, sections a "square deal. Ithencited the letters of Messrs. Wood, Mc-Donald and Bailey in December issue of"American Lawn Tennis" as indicatingthis spirit of un.-est and dissatisfaction.Iinterpreted this sentiment as indicating

that unless the clay court championshipwere sanctioned at the annual meetinga "split" would result, and certainclubs would withdraw from the associa-tion. Ithen proceeded to argue that sucha "split" would be detrimental to the- bestinterests of lawn tennis In the UnitedStates. Following this. Icalled- attentionto the- fact that we were in the midst of a"tennis boom"; that there were a largernumber of tournaments held last summerunder the auspices of the association thanever before, and that the list of entriesin many of these events were surprisinglylarge.

All this indicated increasing develop-ment of lawn tennis interests, and nowherewas this development more apparent thanin the West and South. 1then called theirattention to the fact that the time was pastwhen all the really "big" tennis featureswere held upon Eastern courts, and cited,among others, the star lawn tennis eventsof Omaha. Cincinnati. St. Louis and A-lanta. In this connection Iexpressed theopinion that should a clay court champion-ship bo sanctioned by the association andgiven to one of the above cities, it wouldsoon become one of the biggest and mostImportant of the whole lawn tennis sched-ule.Icalled attention to

-the spirit of

"hustle" prevalent in lawn tennis circlesin these sections, shoved how the ad-herents were full of enthusiasm for theirfavorite sport, and that failure on thepart of the leaders to read the signsaright might result in action which wouldbe a serious handicap to lawn tennis inthis country. Ishoved how the permis-sion for holding this clay court eventwould in no way interfere with the na-tional championship at Newport. while. atthe same time it would giv*> proper recog-nition to the clay court players of ourcountry, and in this way effectively *pro-vent a "scrap" and a consequent "split."Iam sorry to say that some of our

Eastern friends seem to believe that wehave some concealed motive in asking forthis clay court event. They appear to be-lieve, that everything Is not "so innocentas it seem*, and that eventually we maywish to call our clay court event the reallawn tennis championship of the country.Ifsuch a sentiment exists. Imust say Iam unaware of it. and so expressed • my-self. In this connection they suggestedthat the event be styled "the open claycourt championship." thus eliminating theword "national" and the phrase "of theUnited States." In other words, the tour-nament with this name would carry notitle. It would be an open clay court cham-pionship, but a championship of nothing.Itold them Idid not believe such a planwould meet with yo«r approval. IfIdidnot correctly express your sentiment, youmay so announce at the annual meeting

President Dwight not being present 'atthe meeting, Iwent to Boston to have »conference with him. He favors our propo-sition, and will assist us at the annualmeeting, with the distinct understandingthat the clay court event shall . not - l*jconsidered as the real lawn tennis cham-Dionshlp of the country. i expressed "•,Dr. Dwlght the belief . that should M\eclay court event be- voted down therewould probably be a "split" In the associa-tion." Therefore, a logical move in order topreserve the integrity of our national asso-ciation seemed to me to be the securingof proxies to vote at the annual meeting HIdo not wish this suggestion -to indicate

that Iam counselling a flglu against thenational association. Iam not a politiciannor a "scrapper." Iam. however, a lawntennis player who dearly loves the noblesame, an.i who also dearly cherishes thelawn tennis traditions of this country andis jealous for our lawn tennis prestige as

\u25a0 nation. Isee that grave consequencesmay follow the failure of the- associationto sanction this clay court event. There-fur**, in order to preserve our associationIntact and in order that the wave of- ournational lawn tennis prosperity maycatlier increasing power and may not dashitself to pieces upon the rocks of a sec-tional controversy. I suggest that allfrleiuls of the clay court scheme see to Itthat as many clubs as can possibly do sof=en«l personal representative* to the an-nual meeting to bo held In New York onFebruary I.and that such clubs as cannotsend representatives use rare that • theirproxies are placed In the nan.ls of friendsof the clay court championship.*

In the sending of representative?, lot me\u25a0all attention to the fact that there aremany "brainy" mm opposed to our propo-

sition, an.l that these samp men will bepresent at the annual meeting ami willHrßu»> In opposition to the sanctioning ofthis event. Therefore, we must be repre-sented by our mokt tlnlshed and earnestspeakers. • men who are thoroughly insympathy with the movement and InVlosotouch with all of its Important bearings.Th* case must he presented distinctly "onits merits'" at th* annual meeting. iamsure, that we will find ••\u25a0\u25a0 opponents open'" conviction, and believe if our %m Isproporlv prevented thfct \» »• will receive ativorahle vote.
