Judging from present indications there is
danger that the field Of rich pasturage opened
to turfmen by the passage OF the Ives Pool
bill MAJ become prematurely barren. There
ia already talk about an attempt TO be made
during this winter to procure an extension OF
the time limit. In order that the legitimate rae
ing season may run from May to election day,
instead Of from MAJ Is. to Oct. 10, as now fixed
by law In this State. 1t Ia also said
that an increase In the allotment OF racing
days. which are now confined to twenty for
each association, will DO called for by persons
who are dissatisfied with past arrangements
that barred New York and Long Island
clubs from racing during the months of July

satisfied with the present deal, but they cannot
control the movements Of others who believe

The report that Mr.. Philip Dwyer had asserted
that a man who owns 500 shares In tho Villa
Site improvement Company had said that
unless the matter was soon amicably settled
with the Monmouth Park Association, there
will be a summer meeting In Jerome Park,
has set the ball rolling with renewed vigor
not only in outside circles, but inside tho
American Jockey Club. Inquiries wore made
In the club on Thursday as to who the man
OF 500 shares could be, and tho general answer
was that it must be James 4. Kelly. 1t is un-
derstood that Mr.. Kelly has q contract for the
betting privileges OF the American Jocky Club
for o term of years, and as he owns stock in
the Villa Site Company, the guess Is not far out
of the way. The fact that both the Brooklyn
and American Jockey Clubs still include Dec
Grafton Day in the dates for their spring meet
ing makes 1t very probable that the first clash
of dates in this section will take place between
those clubs. The result will be a subject OF
more than ordinary interest to followers Of
Another matter much talked about Just now

citation. Notwithstanding members of the new
body deny that there was any dissatisfaction
