Long Sought Races At Newcastle Today. A number of well-known horses was entered against Mayor Zimmerman's Long Sought in the 2:17 pace at Newcastle this afternoon. In spite of this, however, the mayor hoped to drive his big bay gelding to win, and he is conident that Long Sought can nose his way to the front for the required three heats. The mayor Is not a gambler, and will not put money on his horses even though it is through this means that many owners find horse racing profitable. He claims that he entered the game for his health years ago. It is believed that Lon Boyd and Frank Lackey with their strings of Cambridge City horses will have some fast entries during the Newcastle fair. Several prominent horsemen from neighboring states have brought their horses here to enter in the Indiana fairs, and will be part of tho program at the same fairs in which Zimmerman enters Lon Sought.
