| To THE EpIron OF HERALD
That The summer racing should be confined to one
SPOT because has hitherto been the case and that
any attempt encourage it in another should be con-
sdered as aggressive to be resented would appear
10 the oisnterested observer contrary TO all ideas
OF free trade and democratic Institutions Yet such
seems TO be the idea OF the Saratoga Association
About the end OF last winter, when Monmouth Park
was advertised be forsclosod, fvo gentlemen inter-
ested in racing, OF liberal means and views ianced
they saw opportunity to establish racing IN the
East firm basis.
Acting on that IDEA they purchased the property
and ediateiy built railroad 10 afford ready means
Of access They have started with tina discrimination
OF applying all the profits over the interest on the
money invested ana evea tho whole Of the profits II
necessary, to the Improvement OF the property for
racing purposes and increasing the purses offered
for competition.
The above expresses tho whole object Of the associa
ton without any Interior view mental reservation.
To carry out ths the fullest extent and In the
best IL has been found necessary TO give two
meetings annually The first the nrst part OF July
and the second in tho latter part OF August.
1t was therefore asked Of the Saratoga Association
sthat the Saratoga second meeting should end far
az the stakes concerned, the second Saturday
In Augusta In order that owners having horses
entered in stakes at both race tracks might be able
comfortably to fulfil their engagements.
This tho Saratoga Association have positively re-
fused to do The gentlemen composing the Long
Branch Association then informed them that In the
event persstpg in their refusal, they (own.
ing by the way the best stables in the country, and
therefore contributing the most attractive elements
to the SPORTY would make further entries ut Sara
toga.
So the matter stands In the discussion OF the
subject the argument has been advanced, "rhat tho
need absence OF stables will tend rather
TO increase than diminish the Saratoga entreA That
tho owners OF inferior horses who would otherwise
have boon frightened out by their presence, will now
come ln.n But the logical inference is that the
racing at Saratoga will become less interesting from
the absence Of tho first class competitors and that II
the racing at the same time another
track Saratoga win degenerate into second class In
stuton, and that ult matey the race track will be
regarded a mere accessory to the Casino.
It IS a sad lookout those lovers Of the turf who
annually visit Saratoga fer few weeks 10 drink the
water and enjoy the mountain air guests OF the two
finest summer botols in the world, having hitherto
always had IN anticipation, IN addition, the delights
OF the racing be forced to think that for the future

only by such horses not 'class' enough to
