1t is now reported that the Saratoga
Racing association has been deliberately
frozen out of the racing circuit. The
Coney Island Jockey club has grabbed
the dates that were Saratogas by right
OF precedent and the Washington Jockey
club has arranged spring and fall meet
ings at such times as to effectually pre-
clude the Saratoga association from CIV
ing a meeting at Pimlico. The injustice
of the proceeding is manifest and IL is
said that this makes the oft-repeated
story that the Jockey club seek monop-
oily of racing seem true.
President Kerney and Mr.. Walbaum
called on Mr.. Belmont yesterday, but the
latter gave them little satisfaction. 1t was
then announced that the Saratoga meet
ing would have to be abandoned. There is
no way in which the Saratoga association
can obtain relief and Its valuable plant
must remain idle.
The Coney Island club will miss Sara
togas meeting. Western horses have al
ways come East through Saratoga, and
this fact has made the Coney Island
meetings brilliant. Whether the Western
ers will go East now is a question. Rae
ing at Saratoga" said Mr.. Walbaum,
never begins to pay until late In August,
so that the conflict with Sheepshead Bay
would be very detrimental to us. The Flu
turity is run on the opening day at
Sheepshead Bay. Saturday. Aug. Is, and
naturally about all the horsemen and
horses would leave Saratoga to be pres
ent at the Coney Island clubs opening.
I'VE explained this circumstance to Mr..
Belmont, but in the last day or two l
have received a letter from him stating
that the dates of the Coney Island meet
ing could not be changed. Our position
I now is that unless we can get the dates
We will not race"
