coNEY ISLAND STAKES.
Value of Jockey Clubs List Will
Amount to $25O,OOO,

New York, Dec. 31.-The Coney Island
Jockey club has issued list of stakes,
p in all, which will be decided next
year at Sheepshead Bay. There are %
stakes for the spring and fall meeting
and one-the F'uturity-for 1904. All the
stakes close on January 2, 1902 The
value of the stakes and overnight
races will amount to $3.50, 600. To each
stake Is added a large amount of
money In several of the events the
sums added have been increased. When
the entries have been received they will
be worth more money in the aggregate
than any similar number of stakes Of
fered by any racing association in this
country. The F'uturity stakes of 1904
will probably be the richest of that line
of turf features. The added money has
been increased to SO 600, and as all the
breeders have been entering their mares
literally of late the race promises to
reach the high water mark of $50, 900
In value This race, combined with the
% stakes for 1902. will be worth in ag-
gregate the great sum of 1871, 00o Be
sides these stakes there will be plenty
of oversight sweepstakes which viii be
worth $50, 600 more.
