The closing of the stakes of the Coney Island

the first real indication, if any was needed or
what racegoers can expect this season in the
matter of high class racing. The outlook was
never bright, and that the fulflllment Will
come up to expectations seems practically as
sured. The turf is in such a prosperous con-
dition and there are so many good horses to
draw that the sport must needs reach an even
higher mark than last year With few stray
glers still to be heard from. the nominations for
the various stakes are already larger than a
year ago This is not Of particular moment IN
itself, as the signs of the times pointed 10 an
increase, but 1t is worthy OF comment tnat tne

VOTE AGAINST LOVE.
PLaugoers Declare 1t Non-EssentiaI
to PJags.

Love which some one called that dear old chest
nut" was voted non-essential to the success of a
play at a meeting Of the American Playgoers at
the Hotel Astor last night. Mrs Amelia Bingham
presided at the meeting. The decision was in the
face of a letter from Daniel Frohman insisting
most positively that love interest was necessary
TO the success of play opinion which was
supported by practically all of the actors and
actresses present including Miss Shaw. The de-
baters who did not believe that such interest was
necessary cited Macbeth The Weavers. 'Ev-
eryman' and many miracle plays.
Mr.. Frohman was not present at the debate in
person, but his long letter outlined his views on
the subject of a successful play. 1t was a letter
that might we'll be pinned up before the type

the minority.
