FIFTY STAKE RACES
FOR COMING SEASON
More Money Has Been Hung
Up This Yer Than Ever
Before.

NEW YARIl. January ie.-With the
closing of entries for the big racing
stake events to be contested over the
tracks of the senior racing assocta-
lions. the Coney Island Jockey Club,
the Brighton Beach Racing Associa-
ton and the Brooklyn Jockey Club
during the coming spring meetings, a

throughout, the racing season at ali
traclss-at1d such is the present inten-
ton of the respective mana geEents--
la bulk OF nearly s2.oo0.000~ will have
been won by turfmen by the end of the
season. The racing year of 1908 Will
then have witnessed the giving away
! Of more money In stakes and purses

srect to be a record one on the turf.

decided between the three racing ASSOC
Citations IN the spring. and the gross
/ vLlue of these is 100000. This year

ltion mean 240 days during which the
public will be sending shekels into the
Golfers of the racing associations. Two
hundred and forty racing days (thc

GERMAN MASTER
IGNORE u. S.
Steamer Delta Had Been Seized by Il
United States Marshal at Pensacola
Under Three Libel Suits Aggregat-
ing $1,000 and Was Awaiting Bond.

Pensacola, Fla. Feb 1l.-Perhaps
the most daring move ever made by
the master of a foreign vessel was that
yesterday, when Captain Ray Of the
German steamer, Delta. took the vessel
from this port Notwithstanding the TACT
that she had been seized by United
States marshal, and posted as not be-
ing allowed to leave port until bond
had been given. The seizure OF the
vessel is based upon three libel suits,
ag9re@atins $4,000.
It is the first case on record along
the eulf coast An attorney at Wash
ington has been requested to take ac-
ton in the matter and call upon the
revenue cutter service to send out the
vessel from Key West today 10 make
an effort to apprehend the steamer as
size passed that port.
