scarcity of young women teachers in

and pension upon retiring.

VALUE OF RACING PROPERTIES

Here are the racing associations in the state
under the control of the Jockey Club and the
estimated valuation of the properties: The West
chester Racing Association O<nown Belmont
Parl), $500. 900; the Coney Island Jockey Club
Cknown as Sheepshead Bay). s4.ooO0oO: the
Brooklyn Jockey Club (known as GravesendD,
81 500 900; the Brighton Beach Racing Associa-
ton, $4,000, 900; the Metropolitan Jockey Club
(known as Jamaica). s75o.oOO; the Queens Coun-
ty Jockey Club (known as AqueducD, 100000;
the Saratoga Racing Association. s100O.O0o: the
Empire City Racing Association tat Yonkers),
81 OOO,O and the Buffalo Racing Association.
100000. These figures give an idea of the dig
interests involved in the sport of racing.
But even more startling are the figures which
show how well patronized these tracks are by
the general public. In the report of the State
Racing Commission-the members of which are
James w. Wadsworth. John Sanford and H n.
Knapp-for 1906, table is given which shows
the revenue received from the per cent tax
paid by the racing associations for the benefit
of the agricultural societies. The total amount
of these taxes for the last eight years is sI.4s4
263 IL This means that in the last eight years
the public paid to the racing associations about
s2ss 500 600 for admission. The income OF the
tracks has increased in the last few years for
two reasons; first. the greater number OF racego-
ers and second, the higher price OF admission.
Admission To the grandstands at the majority
of the racetracks is now SIS and the field
stands 81 SO. Some days the attendance has
reached 4O0oO, which means that the gate
capts were close To 100000 for the days
