VALUE OF BIG HAND1CAPs DOUBLED.

Racegoers will be interested to know that the
Coney Island and Brooklyn Jockey clubs have de-
cided to douoie the value of the classic Suburban
and Brooklyn handicaps. Next season. instead OF
being worth $4,000 each. they will have a total
value of $40 600 each. 1t has long been anoma-
lous condition of affairs that these two most i'm
portant handicaps of the entire season should be
worth so comparatively little TO the winners. and
the action of the two jockey clubs in increasing
their total value is worthy of commendation. The
Brooklyn Handicap used to be worth considerably
than $4,000. When Judge Morrow won it. In
1892 it worth s17,5Oo it was the following
year, when Diablo 1t. 1t also worth sl75o0
