While at first the match looked an

there Is & possibility that the Chica-

The Metropolitan Jockey Club has de-
cided to revive the Montague Stakes at
Jamaica. Owing to the mildness of the
winter there will be a greater number of
horses of mature age Mt to race next
April than usual The Montague is sure
to catch three or four Metropolitan
Handicap candidates. 1t will be run
about a week ahead of the Metropolitan.
The Montague was dropped for two
seasons, according TO the secretary of
the Metropolitan Jockey Club, because
of the shortages of the meetings of 1904
and 1905. 1t win not again be abandoned,

NEW YORK. Feb. 24-0f course the
action of the New York Legislature on
the bill making betting on the race
course a felony has been the absorbing
subject among hoTsemen of all degrees
during the past week, and while there
may be little chance that the meas
ure wiz become a law, there Is sufi-
Gent force behind it to make it danger
out and TO. set the racing world hard
at work.
The trainers of the law under which
racing Is carried on in New York build
cd better than they knew when they
provided that 2 portion Of the receipts
of the racing associations should go TO
The farmers for fairs and the like This
amounts to such big sum that the
country members of the Legislature
VIII be- slow. to rake any action likely
to cut off this source of revenue. If
this were not the case the auti-betting
bill would be almost certain of passage
If there is not hard, intelligent work
done, II may. as il is.
It is interesting in this connection to
know that there is invested in racing
in this State something like $4,000, 900,
and the anrual profit of the rsce-course
owner is practically a million a year
This is something worth fighting for.
The Tennessee racing men have won
their case in the courts and racing IS
assured in that State The law pro
hibitiRg betting has been declared un-
constitutional. In the event of the pas
sage of the Cassidy bill here. the New
York courts might take the same view
fof il.
Another matter which has beer. Of
deep interest 10 Eastern horsemen las
been the nasty scandal at Ascot, in
which Boots" Durneli and J. J. Nc
Cafferty have been mixed up Pend
ing a decision of the duly constituted
authorities ii would not be proper to
pass judgment, but it is permissible to
say that the very existence of the turf
depends upon the prompt punishment
of fraud and double dealing. No man
convicted of shady practices should be
permitted TO have anything further to
do with horse racing.
