An exchange says:
In q personal letter written by r. }
| Hancock to a close friend. the master OF
the famous Ellersie Stud-than whom
there is none more capable Of expressing
a sound opinion on all matters relating tC
the turf and turf interests-expresses MS
firm conviction that the decadence or INT
| turf and its present threatened condition
has been brought about primarily by toe
much sprint racing. He writes Pray
beg our jockey clubs TO go back and give
us at least as long races
as the English do" He further
suggests what appears to our
minds an excellent idea-viz.: that the
Coney Island Jockey club would DO a
great service to the turf by devoting
! half the amount given to the Futurlty
stakes TO establishing great fall stake
at two miles or two miles and hall.
Such race. Mr. Hancock thinks would
I'm the course Of two or three years prove
one Of the greatest OF turf attractions,
although IL might not fill well at first;
| and he further argues that we should
| then know i'm which direction 10 look fol-
| stations and brood mares to breed for
stamina. In another portion Of this let
| ter Mr.. Hancock says: 1T makes me heart
| sick to go back to the days OF Harry
| Bassett and LongfelOw. EOlus and Lizzie
| Lucas. Salina and Tubman, Bushwhacker
| and Princeton, Eole and CrckmOre &c.
| Pray do your best TO get the distance in
