EQUIPOISE TO BE RETIRED.

A GREAT WINNER. United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, September 19. The racehorse Equipoise is to be retired after the Havre de Grace Handicap on September 30. As Winooka is not eligible for the Havre de Grace, there is ap~ jr ardently no chance that he and Equipoise will ever meet. Air Whitney, the owner, explains that Equipoise ran last Saturday with a slight crack on the wall of a front hoof. As this is a recurring injury, he has decided to abandon hopes of the horse becoming the world’s greatest money-winner. Since he first raced in April, 1930, Equipoise has Avon 320,970 dollars, the fourth highest in the world. AUSTRALIAN EVENTS. MISHAP TO AUTOPAY. SYDNEY, September 20.
