Turfmen and those who have IN interest In
the happenings OF tho turf will bo surprised to
hear that there Is bill in Albany which will
be presented In tho Legislature some day this
week modifying tho Ives Pool bill to such an
oxtent that the racing season will open In this
State on March and end on Dec. l.
This is the most startling announcement OF
the year. and tho Board OF Control. which Is
undoubtedly behind it. has played its trump
card In It's fight against winter racing. Under
the Ivcs bill as 1t stands Mt present. racing
begins in this State on May 10 and
ends on Oct Is. and no racing organization
is permitted to race more than thirty days
each year. This gave tho Coney Island. New
York. and tho Brooklyn Jockey Clubs. and tho
Brighton Beach Racing Association their dates
without any clashing. and also admitted OF
the Monmouth Park Racing Association run
ming of its meeting at its track near Long
Branch. That was prior to 1891. but last year
Linden Blood Horse Association. and tho New
Jersey Jockey Club were not permitted to raco
IN tho state OF New Jersey. and the Monmouth
Park folks leased tho Jerome Park COURSE
and through deal with tho New York
Jockey Club hnd its thirty days divided
