history. And what is true of Monmouth
park is true Of the whole country. This
is going to be a season of great inter
est. Racers of all ages are proving
themselves more capable In New
Jersey, the local option bill, now in the
legislature, will provide for the licens-
ing of race tracks, so that racing will
become lawful, and no longer be liable
to prohibition under the 'disorderly
house law. Then the licensing Of
Jockeys is another step toward better
form of racing. The jockeys to man
approve of il. Many of them say ii
ought to have been IN vogue years ago.
There is no charge made for licenses.
Perhaps it might have been better to
make slight fee, say five dollars. A
man appreciates that for which he
pays, more than that which he receives
gratuitOusly."
Every body--turfmen booksellers,
Jockeys, stable owners and all-inter-
ested in racing are looking forward to
the coming season with anticipationS Of
an unusually exciting time.

July. The number OF entries Is 1874.
For three-year-olds there are also four
principal races. First in order OF none
tary value comes the Realization stakes,
which will be run for at the Coney
Island Jockey club on July1. This race
will be worth about $4,000. There are
1872 entries. Last year there were but
nine starters, presumably because Tour
nament, who won that race in 1890. was
the horse to be afraid Of, being, as he
was, entitled to all the allowances
through his not having won race pre-
vious TO that event. The result proved
the wisdom Of those who scratched
their horses. for he won the race by fifty
yards.
The races for three-year-oldS are not
quite so uncertain as those for two-year-
olds. Plenty Of the former have previ-
ously shown their reliability, and he
were brave man indeed who would run
an unknown horse against one that had
4 previous record unless he knew pretty
well that his horse was world beaten
Next for three-yearolds comes the
LOrillard stakes. This race viii be run
at Monmouth park about the first week
in July. The number of entries is 230,
and the race will be worth about S95,-
600.
The omnibus stakes is next in order OF
value. This race will also be run at
Monmouth Park about the middle OF
August. The number of entries is 255,
and the value of the stakes will prob
ably amount up to S25, 600.
The American Derby is the most inn
pOrtant race in monetary value for
three-year-oldS in the west. This event
will De run At the Washington Park race
track in Chicago, on the first day of that
meeting, which will take place on June
20. The number of entries for the race
Is 1879, an increase OF - over last year.

be about $4,000.

A RACING YEAR.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE GREATEST SEASON
IN THE AMERICAN TURF
Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Invested in Horses
and Race Tracks-Ths Great Races of the
Spring-The horses That Will Run
and the Jockeys.
Special Correspondence of the REGISTER.

Special Correspondence Of the REGISTER.
New YORK, March 19.-This is the
blue ribbon year of the American turf
Never In the nhistory of racing were
prospects so favorable, nor has so much
money been invested in race horses. and
never before did the public take such
keen interest in turf matters. Only the
Philadelphia lawyer of tradition would
be wise enough to tell how many mil
lions OF dollars are invested in horse
! flesh and racing tracks, but for the ben
efit of the lay reader it may be said that
| these millions will run well up into nine
figures. Last year was phenomenally
successful one. Millions of dollars
were lost and won by betters.
Fortunes were made in the twink
ling OF an eye or swept away
like a flash Of lightning. Over 5000
races were run, or, TO be exact, {, POS.
This year, it is safe to say, there will be
over 1000 races run at the $50 meeting
that will be held on this continent. The
tracing set" has grown to such propor-
tions that il might hold the balance OF
political power in this country were il
organized properly. An army of 500, 0OC
men and boys find employment in vari-
Gus ways on the tracks, in the stables and
in the pool rooms and betting rings, and
25, 600 persons often witness a great con.
test. Women are as enthusiastic as meI
in their devotion to racing, and they
know the good points of a racer and also
how TO back their favoriteS, as well a:
/ father husband or brother.
1t is too early yet, of course, TO speak
with even the shadow Of certainty
about some of the great coming events
but tracks are being put in READINGS:
/ for the opening of the season, and IA
nous horses are being nursed and fec
and petted as carefully and lovingly a
a mother guards favorite child.
