THE L. A. W.
BUDGET OF GREAT INTEREST
TO RACING MEN.
A Letter to Titus From Albert Moth,
Chairman of the Racing Board
Districts Marked Out.

Baltimore, March 1S.-Application:
for national circuit dates, addressed to
Albert Mott, Park Heights. near Kate
avenue, Baltimore, Nd, will be re-
ceived until April Is, 1897.
Promoters, whether clubs or indi-
viduals, making application are invited
to state the date preferred and should
follow it with alternate dates that
would, in an emergency, be acceptable,
and also state if a date named by the
chairman other than those mentior4d
will be likely to be taken as a last ~
sort.
1t should be understood that pro-
meters in different sections Of a large
territory cannot have concerted action
in naming dates, and, therefore, the
applications will discover many con-
fiicting interests which the chairman
will do his best to harmonic. Time is
limited and a schedule of dates will
be arranged by the chairman and pub
lished as soon after April Is as posi-
bic.
Immediately on the publication of the
schedule, promoters should address let
tiers to the chairman, stating whether
the date assigned is accepted.
1t will occur to the promoter that the
racing men, professional and amateur,
must receive equal consideration with
Themselves from the chairman in ar
ranging dates in the schedule. Their
travelling expenses are of vital i'm
portance to them, and such expenses
must be made the least possible. The
chairman will endeavOr to arrange the
schedule on a live-and-let-live policy
to both, as far as the circumstances
and conditions disclosed by the appli-
cations will permit.
Until all the applications are re-
ceived, it is not practicable to decide
whether there shall be one, or more
than one, national circuit. The cir
cult or circuits will be drawn into the
national meet at Philadelphia in
August.
Late in the night of March II Presi-
dent Potter appointed the chairman of
racing board. Until an office can be
fitted up, an office force organized and
the records of the board gotten from
ex-Chairnan Gideon, there cannot be
prompt reply to the many communica-
lions already received. Promptness
will follow when there is a thorough
President Potter has appointed the

The following letter explains itself
Ind is published for information for
'acing men generally:
Baltimore, Md, March 15.-Mr.
Frederick j. Titus, New York:-Dear
'ir:-Your very courteous letter, dated
Feb. 10, is received. Your suspension
S removed in accordance with the rec
of the national assembly
Which is considered an instruction. The
late set by the motion is March Is.
1ou are in the amateur class from that
late.
THE most that has been claimed in
of your offense is. that in
our generosity you proposed to per-
nit friend to win race in st. Louis
ecause it was his home. That gener-
sity was misdirected and you have
undoubtedly thought this matter over
nd come to the conclusion that such
enerosity would naturally be recipro-
ated and that would involve serious
consequences to the grand sport we
re all interested in. The sequence
rould be that in some of the largest
tiles in the country spectators would {
e inveigled by false pretenses into pay
lg admission to see some races which
ere not competed for, and were not
ION on the merits of the contestants
n that case the occupation of the rae
lg man would eventually be gone |
1T would not be wise for any racing :
ian to believe that such clemency :
ould ever again be extended by the /
ational Assembly in a similar case. S
Sincerely wishing you all the arts G
C success during the coming season !
hich your well-known abilities merit. I
am ALBERT MOTT, {
