TALK ABOUT TURF AFFAIRS
SPECULATION CONCERNING THE SUB
rIRRAN HANDICAP TOMORROW

There Is no longer any good reason to DOUBT the
stability OF racing under the present system Inc
crowds that attended the races at MOTIFS rarh
were extremely gratifying to the lovers OF the thor
ouehbred The surroundings at Morris PARK are
luxurious when compared with the Gravescho
course with its circular track. sharp turns ana
short stretches There is nothing pretentious ABOUT
the Brooklyn Jockey Club or It's management. Inc
programme is made up on strictly business lines
by II. n. Mcintyre. who Is past master IN iormu-
lating the conditions of races There was no pahd
of music to discourse popular airs during the inter-
walls between the races at Gravesend. II was
racing meeting pure and simple. The heids that
started in each were sufficiently large 10 IN
sure good betting contests and were attractive
enough to draw large crowds to the races More
over the facilities for reaching the Gravesend race
track were such a vast improvement over the hid
eously tedious journey to Morris Park that the
surroundings and the absence OF music were con-
doned by the racegoing public. who attended the
races in larger numbers than ever before The meet
ing that just closed at the Gravesend track was
one OF the most successful in its history The actual
expenses of the club were less by one-haf than they
were in the golden previous TO 1922 when the re-
ceipts were larger than ever before.
With the prestige of two such successful meetings
before them the managers of the Coney lsand
Jockey Club anticipate large crowds and corre-
spondngly large profits from the meeting that De-
gins tomorrow at the Sheepshead Bay racetrack
Many racing men believe that the vast profits made
by racetracks in former years will be exceeded TINS

as a criterion. Therefore the meeting at Sleeps
head Bay is likely TO begin with unusual brillancy
and with racing that will recall the old days wheh
