The result is that Servia is ready to treat for
peace, but will not consent, however, To the
deposition OF Prince Milan or the sacrifice

A NEW METHOD OF SrARrING RACE
HoRsEs-A Saratoga dispatch says: The
dissatisfaction occasioned by the bad starts
given In some important events has induced
the Racing Association TO adopt O new
method OF starting horses which bids fair to
be successful Hereafter there will BE- virtu-
ally two starters, and the horses are TO be
taken about thirty yards back OF the actual
starting line. The FIRST starter VIII get the
horses In line, and will be invested with
power TO punish jockeys for disobeying his
orders by suspending them or imposing fines
After the horses are in position he win give
them the word TO 60, and II they are fairly
even when they pass the second starter he
drops his flag. This will prevent q horse
from gaining the advantage OF q running
start, and the proposition has been well re.
ceived by all the turfmeu here. The OPPOSE
ton OF The western turfmen TO the new
weights has also induced the association to
open three new stakes, In which the old
weights are to be carried and the entrance
fees reduced one-half, the forfeits In proper
ton, 90 that the poorer stable owners will
not feel the tax imposed upon their resources
as Onerous IS with the expensive conditions
Of the great stakes. This action will again
harmoDize the racing interests OF the east
and west, and at the same time add variety
70 the programmes of the future.
