Hold Meetings.

NEW YORK, Dec. THE Coney Is
land Jockey Club, at a meeting held yes
terday in the Cumberland, Flfth Avenue
and Twenty-second street, practically de-
cided 10 race as usual al Sheepshead Bay
next season and give their series or val
liable stakes. This is In line with the pol
Icy Of the Brooklyn Jockey club as voiced
in the Sun Yesterday morning through
President Philip j. DIVER.
The resolution adopted by the Coney
Island Jockey club AT IT'S meeting yes
terday follows:
The Coney Island Jockey Club, at a
meeting Of the governors held to-day, de-
cided that they would incur the losses
required TO fulfil their obligations TO
horse owners and breeders, n lelt IN
position to do so after TINS winters ilBls-
lation, by running OFF the hXed events,
and that all entries for their Futurlty
for 1897 and their great stakes would
only be received under such conditions.
1t will be seen from the aboye tnat
much rests with the Legislature. 1t Is not
tlain how anybody can le8lslate dBdlIsI
actual contests Of speed between horses
where there is no betting on the result
and should any acton DE taken III t ma.
line il could be turned 10 account against
bicycle. boat or foot races, or, IN Iact;
any contest of speed or endurance, anu
the very enforcement OF any such Pehallg
would tend 10 make II farclcal. ~ va
learned last evening that Inc OOhey lnl3Hu
directorate had not decided az yet "htn
the entries for their stakes 10 be run IN
1896 will close, tut it was found through
an outside source that the FutuTlly
would close on January lst. -....,,,.,,
