Now that the race meeting at Pimlico
is over the horsenen at the outlaw tracks
across the river are beginning 10 ask when
the purses will be raised Ii is no more
than right that this should be done at once.
When they were reduced the officials of
the two associations promised that they
would be raised TO the old price OF $500 as
soon as il was practicable.
During the past two weeks the sDort, has
shown such a marked Improvement that the
management of the tracks should come To
some sort OF an understanding at oEce with
a view TO fulfilling their promise. 1t is
safe to say that never beforc in The history
OF racing have such high class horses goneto
the post for such small purses. Many OF the
animals that have arrived at The tracks
SINCE Morris Park closed nave been running
on the Jockey Club tracks during the past
summer.
Tne very fact that the number of books
are not only double, but on some DAYS
treble what il was during the summer
months. shows the general interest Ia ken
I in racing. At times only Tour books Were
doing business. and very often two or these
would be backed 5S the association. Ihis
new means OF revenue To the association
should be taken into consideration by them
at once. and the owncrs given the advaH-
tagc of IL as wellas themselves.
There is no doubt that he racing At the
Virginia tracks is of a higher class than il
was up to a couple Of weeks ago. The Of

On several o occasions recently he has shown
that at times the 'blinkers' are left al
home. Hisruling in the bonneville case last
week was an exceptionally good one.
There Were not dozen people on the track
who saw what came Off. but the Judge had
his eagle eve on Mr.. Avery and had decided
to rule him off before he ehaddisDlounted

The meeting al Plmlico was in direct-c

outlaw tracks. Indeed, while II appears
TO be bold assertion, the racing on this
clean board OF control course was much
