A OBJECTIONABLE Policy.

The rule passed last fall by the Brooklyn,
Coney Island and American Jockey clubs,
prohibiting owners, trainers, Jockeys and
horses running on half mile tracks from par
ticipating in races on the courses OF the
above named associations has gone by tho
board with a rush. At first one or two jock
eys were reinstated, then a few more, and
finally the door was thrown wide open for
all of the outlaws. The rule was difficult of
enforcement as regarded owners, many OF
whom made transfers and alleged sales Of
some Of their stock to run at the half mile
tracks, while keeping others to run at the
mile tracks In their own names. The pas
rag of the rule always seemed to US ques-
tionable policy, and thetS is no doubt that II
proved a great hardship TO many of the
smaller owners, who were debarred from
picking upa good many dollars during the
late fall and early spring, and 1t also les
sened considerably the number of entries
