Notes.
There was much in Butte
yesterday regarding the additional
stake race arranged by Manager Upton
to take place at Anaconda during h
coming meeting. 1t is to be known as
the Labo Day handicap, and Is to have
a guaranteed value of IS, 200. 1t will b.
run at Anaconda on Labor Day. 1t is
for 3-year-olds and upward, the dis
lance one mile M a quarter, 81, 900 to
the first; 500 to the second; 5000 to the
third. Entries for this race will close
on May Z. and should receive a fine
entry list.
The reopening of the Washington park
race track Will make Chicago the racing
center of the country, says a Chicago
exchange. Horsemen unanimously de-
clare that such will be the result of
the move which the Washington Park
club has practically determined upon
making.
While the executive committee. to
which the directors resolution will be
referred. is not making any of it's plans
public, all its members unite in saying
that the action of the directory will be
unanimously concurred in. A meeting
or the executive committee will be held
this week at the Wellington hotel for
the purpose of ratifying the matter and
perfecting plans for the coming meet.
n question of finances did not enter
into the matter when under discussion.
The club is on a sure footing financial
ly, and Is in no need of funds. Instead
of believing that there will be any
money i'm the venture this year il is
thought that the meeting will be a los
ing one. But the directory is looking to
the future, and IL the interest n en-
thusiasm expected materializes the
American Derby and the Washington
park meeting will again become a fix
ture in the racing world.
The announcement of the clubs decis-
ion came like a bomb TO the sporting
fraternity. but the shell was loaded
with pleasant surprises. About town in
sporting circles, at the clubs and in the
business houses it was a general topic
of conversation. In deciding to race the
club has met the public demand. For
more than a month the officers of the
club have been besieged with urgent re-
quests from horsemen n business men
to reopen the track. A. $. Gage, MEM
Der of the executive committee. said
yesterday that he ould have raised
over 500, 900 among the Chicago mer-
chants to help the move had it been
necessary.
The gloom which hung over the racing
situation has been quickly dispelled.
and has given way to a rosy-hued view
of the future.
Nowhere was the announcement re-
ceived with greater delight than at the
Harlem Jockey club. This organization
has not perfected any plans for the sea-
son beyond the Roby meet. Now it is
i'm a position to go ahead with intelli- |
gence and a thorough knowledge of the
situation.
Secretary Williamson said: 9TH off,
GERS of the club are delighted with the
prospect. The meeting will not inter-
fere with any Of our dates, and If IL did
we would be only too glad TO give way
for Washington park. The reopening of
the track will give the sport a great
boom all over the country. and will d
tone to 1t. To the Southern breeders
and owners the decision means at least
-. 900, 900. After Washington park closed
Southern breeders were giving away
and the breeding industry \
has been almost at a s~tandstill. This
will make the dealers as well as the
breeders active"
1t is likely that all the old stake
events will be revived under the old
Some of them had been run so
before the closing Of the track,
that they had become classic events.
The re-establishment of the American
Derby. without the usual form of nomi-
will result in the finest derby
run. The entries will not be so
numerous. but the class Of entries Will
be of a higher order and consequently a
numbe will face the flag. In
other words, for this and the stake
