TALK ABOUT TURF AFFAIRS
TIE STARTING MACHINE QUEsTION-PossIBII-

TILES OF INCREASED REVENUES.
An increase in the attendance at the Jennings
races argues we'll for the prosperity of the turf
There Is so much rivalry among the proprietors OF
starting machines that II might be well for the rae
ing associations place different machines at the
different starting posts of days racing programme
and give them all a chance. Moreover. the compet-
ton would be an additional attraction that might
increase the attendance Observing turfmen. who
are keenly alive to the necessity OF fair equitable
and honest starting. are almost unanimous in the
opinion that all starting machines require the ser
vices Of a starter who is quck-sighted. alert and
trustworthy to manipulate the contrivances
The registration rules are causing more or less
trouble especially the rule In regard 10 the naming
of horses The latter rule Is emineny just and de-
sirable There have been many cases where colts
and FLIES have been registered because the rule
did not have sufficient publicity and many careless
horseowners and breeders neglected to register some
of their horses through ignorance OF the rule. On
the other hand horse-owners who and have been
familiar with the rule neglected to register some Of
their colts and FLIES because the animals had met
with accidents or were inferior yearlings when
the rule was made. II the Jockey Club would sus-
mend the rule and give the persons who are the
owners of UNREGISTERED colts and hlies chance to
register them upon the payment Of q fine. II would
probably prevent some useful horses from becoming
outlaws and cause everybody to register his horses
Il the future.
Governor Morton has signed the Austin bill and
has made many friends among the turfmen. Under
this law the racing associations have the right to
charge an extra admission to certain Enclosures on
the racetracks and to conform to the method In
vogue In England.
August Belmont said recently: The Austin bill
win give the associations opportunity to increase
their revenues by increasing the price Of admission

IN FAVOR OF THE SARATOGA COURSE.
SOME REASONS ADVANCED WHY IT SHOULD BE
CHOSEN FOR THE UNIVERSITY


CHOSEN FOR THE UNIVERSITY
BOAT RACE.
Inquiry among people who are interested in the
Columbia Cornell Harvar I'd Pennsylvania boat race
shows that the views of Guy Richards. chairman
Of the Committee the Selection Of Course
meet much opposition and that many people who
have given the subject close and careful attention
maintain that the course on Saratoga Lake Is SUI
peror in many respects to the one at Pough-
keepsie. The claim Is made by the advocates Of
the Saratoga course that fully many peop'e
could the race there at Poughkeepse. while
clear course would be certainty. The trafiic
on the Hudson. they say is OF such a nature that
II would be impossible TO keep the course clear, and
that restrictive measures would be Of avail
There probably occasion when so
many boats acted as a patrol to keep water course
clear said student of the situation. las was
enlisted the time OF the last international! yacht
races and despite all the efforts of the managers OF
the patrol. Lord Dunraven said that he was crowd
ed. The same thing would probably happen on the
Hudson II the Poughkeepsic course chosen
That condition" he continued. would be Impossible
at Saratoga, where there are only few boats on
the lake. and where the is so large that there
would be no danger from that source
AS to the likelihood Of storms the lake. those
who know the pace best say that there Is less
danger from that source there than at New London
Poughkeepsie and that the lake Is so completely
sheltered by the hills that II would take a more
powerful wind 10 disturb its surface than would
make either of the other courses rough and lumpy
The matter of expense to NEWCOMERS who wish
TO see the race has been discounted by the advo-
Gates Of the Saratoga course who say that the
railroad companies Will make low rates and that
the hotels in Saratoga Will be found fully as cheap
and infinitely more attractive than those In other
places which have been mentioned in connection
with the race
The date set Tor the will be early IN the
season for Saratoga, before there is any crush at
the hotels or the hundreds OF boarding houses.
