Coney Island Jockey Club would not have
racing during the coming year is positively
denied by those In authority. They show
the foolishness of the report by the fact that
they have been the first TO issue the pro
gram for the closing year. The Cone,
Island Club is, as rule, the first in The
field, and This year has been no exception
l. The conditions for tie spring and ;su tunIf
events have undergone very little change
The conditions OF ,he Tidal stakes OF leSi
are announced as are the Futurity stake
for the autumn meeting OF 1898.
The ADDED money is IN n scale whcl
| which shows the sound confidence in tn
| future Of American Ia eng cnterta inet
by President Lawrence Kip and his asso
| ciatcs. In some events, notably in The
Suburban handicap, the added money Il
| more than was offered last year. As
an offset tu this the conditions general,
! are not su liberal to the owners and nomi
| nators.
The increase In entrance fees and tn,
| extra toll levied On starters is made neces
| sary for the loss or income incurred by th'
| racing organizations in this State sine,
! the adoption OF the constitutional amend
ment against betting. The tendency IL
| to make the noininators In races pay @
| gobdly proportion or the expenses OF tho
l
| policy uf the Jockey club.
| OTHERS WILL FOLLOW SUIT.
| Similar conditions may be anticipated il
the events OF the Brooklyn Jockey .lub, Ii
| those of the West Chester Racing Associa
ton, which are In courseof preparation. Tn.
| programs of these clubs may be expected to
| be ready in a FEW days.
Most important from the breeders stand
point and possibly in the views OF the rae
ing pubiic are tue conditions or the Euturity
| OF 1898. When Requital gallopcd past the
winning post in the last Futurity, David
Gldeon's bank account was increased $o3,-
| 1870: the second horse. Crescendo, winning
| $25, 3o3, and the tnIrd, Silver ii, So, ,666.
The added money was 81 500. For the
coming event the added money is cut down
TO So, $50, but that the race will still be
| among the most important OF the s3s sea-
son TO the breeders is shown by the SUM-
mary OF the conditions:
The Futurity Stakes: A sweepstakes for
two year-old foals of 1896, by subscrip-
tion of $50 each. or only $40 If the money

which 81 900 went TO the second horse

The English fiat racing season ended No
vember Is at Manchester. One OF the most
Interesting features or the statistics is the
list of winning stations. More than ST.

teen slres. st. Simon stands again at the

The amount won by his get this year, how
ever, docs not compare with that of 1892,

child's great 2-year-cld, st. Frusquin,
with $4S, 600.

ing the largest winner of the year, with

and, Irish racing being omitted.
A proposal is now being considered by |
he New Zealand turf authorities to in |
crease the gelding allo ance from three |

10 geld all except the very hest colts, and |
70 would be q tencfit to breeding. The |
,ame idea has been discussed in this country |
and in England at various times. Its main |
objection has been admitted to be that |
