,sement such meetings would give the ii
,ity. o
But few OF our citizens seem TO appreciate II
he Importance fthe coming races to this Il
,ity and section, The north Texas circuit b
embraces Dallas, Gainesville and Fort G
w orth, and the meeting this year is receiv- /
lug unusual attention and giving at the
present writing unusual promise. We are, c
In short, on the eve Of one OF the most bril- |
liant events In the line indicated, ever seen
in this section or in the state. The meet
ings give promise OF being very largely at
tended, and the extent OF the purses and
tho number and character of the
entries warrant the belief that
the races will be OF the
very FIRST order 50 well advertised have
the meetings OF this circuit been that pools |
are to be sold thereon in several OF the |
largest cities of the east. Even where in
| some of the older states the laws against
gaming have undertaken to suppress pool
sailing on the tracks of the prominent
Jockey clubs, particularly in New York
state, compromises have been Effected al
lowing the voice Of The booksellers to cry
ont tho races of this year, North TeHts
loircuit meetings and permitting such
stake.holders to receive md disburse the
vast sums OF money entrusted TO them by
, the throng who have taken an interest In
aud stAked their moneys on our races.
When so much Of importance to us
B IL involved II does seem that thofe
a, home might manifest as great liberality
o. view in the premises as those abro d.
= rho bills Of the secretary Of this circuit
. show that all the pool rooms of the large
cities have made application tothe Western
Q Union to connect them directly by wire
o with the Jockey club grounds the pool sell
ors to send u reporter TO Transmit the races
=, promptly and fully by heats. ELEY, Of
/, Chicago, KELLY and BLws Of New York
RoCHE, of st. Louis and PRICE, of Pitts
:, burg, have already entered in the
- pool. When we reflect that these schrewC
business men feel that our meetings will
% be OF such character and prominence
\. and interest throughout the sporting cir
ir Giles Of the country as to demand of them
Q recognition, we can rest assured that TIN
)" Dallas jockey club has got business an,
of an enterprise set on foot and under sucl
Roadway as to be OF vast benefit to the cit
from material, financial standpoint.
p A glance at the entries only Is needed I
4 indicate how big thing we have this yea
" got In the way OF racing. To the co
III stakes there are eleven nominations eac
ty Of which means a stable OF runners for III
purses. The list embraces some of III
wealthest and most prominent owners
W the country, and entries from Ne
lo' York, Kentucky, Illinois at
v" other distant points. From We
''v mont TO Iowa, and even to tho Pacific, IL
- ters Of enquiry have been received as
