and our forfeits are light. The stable of j. y.
q A. ii. Morris about $50 900 last year,
and the fOrfcts were, in round numbers, $4,000.
We had to put up $50 900 in order to win s co.
600 Suppose our fOrfets had been only So, 900
and we had won $4,000. The result would
have been the same-wc should still have been
81 90 900 ahead but whereas in one case we had
TO rsh $50, 900, in the other we would have risled
but hall that sum.
My argument was this: We don't want one
man to win $4,000 or 100000 or $4,000 in a
single race. We want that money distributed 50
that others may get part of it. | admit that 1t
is desirable to have great and important stakes.
They elevate racing They are talked about and
written up i'll advance public curiosity Ii aroused
and great crowds 90 to the track 10 see them
contested BBut do YOU know that every great
race day is followed by one and often TWO exceed
ingy dull days? on days they are called. The
attendance falls very low. Under our new, ar
rancement there are no on DAYS. Monday, Wcdncs-
day and Friday have been regarded as of days,
but they are not 30 with us. Our gate receipts
show that. We SO arrange stakes that every
on Wednesday as on Tuesday. The Saturday half
holiday of course brings an exceptionally large
attendance The programme for our spring meet ,I
