Of the better class is strongly in favor OF the action
of the board in the matter of winter racing. The
rule distinctly declares what owners, trainers,
OF jockeys may expect who Violate the rules. That
the rule will be enforced Is certain every member
of the board says that any action taken in regard
to racing In 1892 will be strictly enforced. The
board went slowly last season, one member said,
everything 10 1t, but next season IL would
act promptly, and what rules made would be
forced.
The general talk In the uptown hotels and cafes
is in favor Of the action OF the board, and that
close season OF three months would prove IA
great benefit 10 racing In the neghborhOod of New
