THE JOCKEY CLUB LOST,
Giving Stake Events Proved to Be = Costly
Mistake.

Giving Stake Events Proved to Be = Costly
With delightful weather and the largest at
tendance OF the meeting the fourth spring
meeting Of the Washington Jockey Club closed
Saturday. The meeting was neither a financial
nor racing success. for the club. it is under
stood, is a loser TO the amount OF about 81. 00O
and ii IL doubtful if there ever WAS u meeting
Of the club in which close and exciting finishes
were SO rare. One rather costly mistake made
oy the club was the giving OF stake events.
There were four of these at $500. one at $500
and one at $1,000 $4,000 in ali. Had these
races been made simple overnight events at
$500 each the results in q racing sense would
have oeen every bit as enjoyable and the club
would have saved just 81 600.
In most instances. even on the big tracks. at
the present day stake events produce the least
enjoyable races. the exceptions being those
stake races which are worth to the winners many
thousands. viz. the Futurity, the Brooklyn
and Suburban hhndicaps ard similar events
Bat on tracks SUCH the local one stake races
are, to say the least, sad mistakes. The pur-
pose OF the club to obtain a superior class Of
horses was good enough, but its experience
during the meeting just closed undoubtedly
convinced the management that stake races in
Washington are failures.
The winners Saturday were Nav Bird. u to
/; Strathfelhower. to 2; Hume to 5; Au-
gusta Belle. 5 to l; Hippona, 20 2. and Capt
Manning, Z to 8.

To such people, CoTroLENE is of
