During the past few days the different
associations whose stakes closed on March
lst have announced their entries. They
are emineutly satisfactory and in many
eases brilliant. particularly with the new
New York Jockey Club. Nor did
such associations "a the Maryland Jockey
Club, of Baltimore, and the National
Jockey Club, of Washington, fall behind.
Still, this is at best the gliding Of the sun
set OF their prestige. These clubs, the
former one OF the oldest and the latter
one OF the newest but most enterprising
racing organizations, have always formed
part of the regular Eastern racing circuit.
l am afraid that the time is not far dis
tant when they will have to sink 10 the level
OF merely local enterprises. ! was in Wash
ington last week and while there met sew
eral OF the members Of the Executive
Committee and from the tone Of their con
versatiou it is very plain that they have
made up their minds TO face the inevita-
ing successful spring meetings this year,
bur the difficulty will come in the fall when
at least one OF the big projected autumn
and winter racing enterprises in Now Jer-
sey will be in operation. To maintain
themselves as "a representative national
racing body, several leading members
of the National Jockey Club are now
acitating project Of building a new
track midway between Baltimore and
Washington which could Ee utilized by
both rhe Maryland and the home associ a
