1t Is Mostly Sugar.
C.|. ]. C.'s PECULIAR CLAUSE.
Owners Must Stand Any Loss
Caused by Increased Tax.
Many Stakes Have Also Disappeared
from the List.

After considerable backing and fill
ing the Coney Island Jockey Club finally
makes public its stakes this morning.
A glance over the list will show that
the directors of this racing association.
who are first and foremost to shout that
they are racing purely for sport alone,
have a keen eve to the profits in the
business.
The following clause tackled on below
the list or tai speaks for itself:
"These stakes are announced subject to
the continuance of existing legislation
affecting turf interests. Should new
taxation be imposed, the added money
will be reduced to such extent"
This means in plain English that if
the Solons at Albany insist Upon i'm
posing further taxation upon the racing
association the loss must fall upon the
morse owners and not upon the stock
holders. There are many things which
will strike the reader as being peculiar
in the Coney Island Jockey Clubs an
nouncement. One is the adoption of the
guaranteed value" system. This strikes
one as an adroit paving Of the way to-
wards a kick out Of the traces of the
new Jockey Club should occasion re-
quire 1t.
A few queer things will also be noticed
in the announcement of the conditions
for the Suburban, which follow:

The added money is the same as last
year, to be sure, but the total value OF
the stake is cheapened by the reduction
of the starting fee from 500 to 800. 1t
will readily be seen that the value Of the
stake will be far below that OF last year.
The Coney Island Jockey Club does not
make plain that fact. however.
