The season of 1891 opens in April. Racing
has been going on more or less all winter at
the tracks at Gutenberg, Dundee, Glouces-
ter and Clifton. The last named place WAS
closed by the authorities in February, under
section of the ''disorderly house" law.
There is now in the New Jersey legislature
| bill which will empower the local author
| tiles in towns or counties to grant licenses
to racing associations, which will clear up
the present muddle existing in New Jersey.
Winter racing goes on in all kinds OF
weather. Rain, snow, sleet or mud have
| no terrors for the owners of the horses.
| The average value OF the stakes offered at
these tracks in the winter is $500. The
highest stake is not more than 81 900.
The regular spring season opens about
| April IA at Elizabeth. Racing on that track
| goes on TO May IA. Linden alternates with
Elizabeth. One track will be used one week
and the other track the next. Each has an
equal number of racing days. The Brook
| lyn Jockey Club opens its season at Graves
end on May IS and keeps its tracks going to
| May 30. On May Is the Brooklyn handicap
| will be run. The New York Jockey Club
| opens at Westchester June / and CO itinues
to the 18th of the same month. The New
York Jockey Club handicap will probably
be run on the first day of the meeting. This
last year was the first race which Tenny ran,
and he won it in canter. On the last day
OF the New York Jockey Club spring meet
ing will be run that very valuable stake, the
| Great Eclipse, worth about 800 900. Next
comes the Coney Island Jockey Club spring
meeting, commencing on Jure 10, on which
day the great Suburban handicap will be
run, and continuing TO July l, on which
| day the Realization stakes will be competed
| for. Monmouth park opens next on July
4 and Keeps open 70 Aug. %. The Mon
mouth Park Racing Association has its an
nual season at one time on consecutive
| days The other associations have spring
and autumn meetings. All, however, have
about the same number of racing days.
| Next after Monmouth comes Saratoga,
| where racing begins July % and goes
on to Aug. 81. These dates
clash with Monmouth. Brighton Beach
Racing Association will race thirty days in
July and August taking the off-days on
which Monmouth doesn't run. These DAYS
are Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Coney
Island Jockey Climb comes again. 1t begins
| on Aug 30 and continues to Sept. 10. Then
the Brooklyn Jockey Club opens on Sept.
| IA, and big races win be run between that
date and Sept. 80. The New York Jockey
| Club comes next It's racing day are from
Oct. to Oct. 10. Finally Linden and Eliza
beth open again on Oct. 16. and continue to
| Nov. II, alternating as in the spring. East
ern racing proper ends with these races for
| for the season of 1891.
| The first great race in this country is the
Kentucky Derby. 1t is what is known as a
classical" race, the monetary value being
but $1,000. though it is looked forward to
with the deepest interest. 1t will come off
| on May Is, at Louisville. The race was won
| by Riley last year. Riley is owned by "Edi
| Corrigan, and was ridden by Murphy. Ii
is a three-year-old race, and this year there
are So entries. Among the horses that will
run are Balgowan, Allan Bane, GaScon,
Georgetown, Henry Ray. Palestine, Passara,
Tom Mackin, Tom Rogers. All these are
winners as two-year-olds. There are several
Others who have run in races and been
beaten, but who may come to the front this
year. There is no advanced betting ON this
race, so it is not easy TO say which horse is
| the favorite.
Perhaps the most popular races of the
year will, as usual, be the Suburban and the
Brooklyn hsndicaps. Tney have always
created more excitement and have drawn
out bigger crowds than any other races held
| in the count Y. There are several reasons
|
races for all Corners, and the distance is a
popular one. The best handicap horses
| compete against one another.
| The advanced betting is great and keeps
the race continually in the papers. Some
| enormous bets have been given on these
races of past years, and there is generally a
continual hubbub in the newspapers which
fires the anticipation of the public and
makes everybody who has drop of sports
| ing blood in him watch the result of the
races with the greatest interest. This year,
however, the advanced betting does not
promise to be so large. All over the coun-
| try advance betting is gradually dying out
This is due to a variety of causes. No one
can say what a day may bring forth, and SO
many surprises are being sprung upon the
| public ty new horses, that people prefer
to wait until a week or two before the races
come off before placing their lets. The
| principal entries for the Suburban are
| renny, Tournament, Raceland, Firenzi,
! Prince Royal, Riley, Judge Morrow, Los
| Angeles, Tea Tray, Burlington, Demuth,
Eurus, Castaway, Diablo, Cassius, Senorita,
Rhono, Ruperta, Potomac, Russell. King
Thomas, Loantaka, Cortez, Buddhiso Come.
to-Taw, Cousin Jeems, English Lady
Robespierre. DriZzle, Solero, Rey del Rey.
Nearly all the above horses will probably
compete for the Brooklyn handicap. and,
in addition, Terra Gotta, Badge, Reporter,
| Eon, Yosemite. Uncle Bob, Nelly Blr.
The principal races for the season for
2-year-olds are four in number. First i'll
order OF monetary value comes the
| Futurity, which will be worth probably
about 800, 900 or 100000 This race will he
run on the Coney Island jockey Club track
