PROGRAMME OF SPORTS TO-DAY
MORE MONEY FOR OWNERS
PURSES INCREASED AT AQUEDCCT,
SHEEPSHEAD BAY, GRANESEND
AND NORRIS PARK.

The Racing Commission Of this State recently
made a suggestion to the Jockey Club that the
overnight purses at ali the tracks under its Ju-
risdiction should be increased. AS all of the
tracks in the East are under the government of
the Jockey Club the suggestion was a sweep
ing one. The Jockey Club has met the PROPOSE
ton in the same spirit and has agreed that the
provisions of the Racing Commission shall be
carried out. The argument was made that all of
the tracks were in a prosperous condition. and
that something should be done for the horsemen
and to further increase the thoroughbred breed
ing interests of the country.
The Jockey Club has already decided that the
purses at Sheepshead Bay. Gravesead. Aqueduct
and Morris Park must be increased at once.
The minimum purse at the Aqueduct track here
after cannot be less than 5000. The programme
for the meeting this track has been issued
already and outside of the principal stake con-
tests the added money amounts to only S4oo or
$500 Under the conditions from sle" 10
5000 must be adedd to each of these races.
The directors Of the Coney Island and Brook
Iyn Jockey clubs have already informed the
Jockey Club that hereafter at the meetings at
sheepshead Bay and Gravesend that the small
est purse TO be offered at those tracks Will De
at least 81 900. The Westchester Racing Asso-
citation. which conducts racing at Morris PARK
will get off a little lighter, but the minimum
purses at that track cannot ne less lIldh "'''
hereafter.
The annual meeting of the directors OF the
Brighton Beach Racing Association VIII not De
held until next month. Those in a position 10
know said last night that George Engernan WHO
controls the policy at Brighton, would undoupt-
edly follow the example set by the other CLUBS
