BRIGHTWOOD CLUB
DOUBLES PURSES
FOR SPRING MEET
Many Out-of- Town En-
tries Warrant EXpendi-

horsemen from the South and Middle
West for stable room at the Bright

meeting on May s, - and 30. Henry
Copperthite. manager of the Brightwood
Driving Club, has increased the purses
recently offered 10 double their amount.
The program of events given out oy
Secretary Louis Schuckers two weeks
ago announced the value of the light
harness races as $50 and that of the
running races as SO. At that time it
was thought that the meeting would
be practically a local affair, but the IN
precedented interest manifested by out
of-town sp0rtsmen has warranted the
management in expendIng more money,
with the result that $500 win be hung
up for the trOtting and pacing events,
and $50 for the running races.
Earliest Spring Meeting.
The spring meeting of the Bright
wood Driving Club will be held earlier
than that at any other track in the
country, the only other meeting in May
being that at Hoboken, n. j., on Deco
ration Day. The early dates of the
local meeting are responsible for the
many entries that are pouring in from
out OF town, as the races over its course
practically open the Eastern light har-
ness season, and offer the first oppOr-
tUnity for owners TO ascertain the real
worth of the horses which they con-
