could. We understand. that there will be. in a
short tine qn thd9roueh reorsanization Of the
ideas that will. in the opinion OF those not new
to the TUT, bring about revivi1cation of the
interest IN racing, 80 congenial to our people.
In the first place. II racing is to be made pop
ular., the prices of admission to the public
stand and field must be reduced. The people,
for the enjoyment of turf sports, and II they
are to be made popular the admission to the
track ought to be reduced.
Next, larger purses should be given. The
distance OF New Orleans from the principal
sporting centres increases largely the expense
of bringing horses here. and with $780, $780, $500
purses. owners cannot afford to give US their
best stock Mt our meetings. Racing has made
such advances 10 the North. and such rich
prizes are offered. it is with difficulty that we
can get now even stable from New York or
Kentucky; Ii purse OF say $4,000 was offered.
there would be some incentive to horsemen to
visit our course. Something is needed to give
Another thing that ought to be done before
the next fall meeting Is the building OF q new
stand. The present one Is not worthy of our
people, and is at best only a shed partially to
keep off The rain. In city like this. and with
track like ours, there is no reason why we
should not have stand equal If not superior,
to that of the old Metairie Course. We hope
the new management will take these things into
consideration.
