Several important amendments to the rules OF
racing are to DO considered at the meeting of
the Jockey Club next Thursday. The most sig
nihcant, perhaps, is the proposed alteration in
tho rule defining the starters authority. Should
this 70 into effect, horsemen believe IL viii IA
cilitate matters at the post considerably, as the
jockeys, having more to fear. will naturally DO
moro obedient. The amendment on this point
reads as follows:
Tho starter shall have authority TO nno or suspend
n Jockey for disobedieuoo Of his orders or for at
tempting to take any unfair advantage. but the sus.
pension Of q Jockey shall not take erect until after
tho last raco of the day Of his suspension. and the
stewards may modify or remit penalties imposed by
the starter.
The startcr shall not impose any nne exceeding
5000 for any offence nor suspend beyond the last
day of the meeting, and he shall report all nnes and
suspensions TO the clerk OF the scales in writing.
The other amendments proposed are as fol-
lows:
Rule $50 strike out the sixth paragraph. which

Entries for tho Aqueduct spring meeting are
pouring in on the Secretary of the Queens
County Jockey Club. The lists are still open
pending arrival of entries from a distance. but
tho returns up TO last night are sufficient to In
dictate q highly successful opening Of the season
on Long Island. The chief event on the card 10

thrce-year.olds and upward, about seven fur
longs. This has attracted o 1no entry of thirty

The other fixed events for the meeting arc

sively for Allies Of the same age. have attracted
forty entries each. Thirty.eight are on file for
the CRnarsic Stakes for twoy ear-olds. and thir-
ty-two youngsters. are in line for the jamaica
