AMATEURS MAY SAVE
HORSE RACING GAME

NEW YORK, December 30.-Not few
horsemen have expressed the opinion that
for the season of 1909 the hunters and
the amateur sportsmen will play an i'm
portant part in keeping the interest in
racing alive These little amateur meet
ings have grown to Importance with all
the slovers of the horse, and while many
of them are still practically family affairs.
whenever the public has been invited the
response has been ready and the interest
in that branch of the sport has constant
ly grown.
No matter what Is decided by the larger
and older racing associations for next
year. one thing Is certain, and that is the
amateurs will have every opportunity to
race. The National Steeplechase and
Hunt Association for the present year
gave official recognition to forty-two
hunts, and many others will apply for
admission before the season begins next
spring. Naturally. several Of these hunt
clubs have not awaited themselves Of
the permission to race under the sanction
that goes with a recognition from the
governing body. except in a very small
and private manner, but many of them
have conducted first-clasS meetings and
more will be in the field next year.
These race meetings have broadened

greatly in their scope of late. until now
the programs are in no manner confined
to the hunters alone. Flat races are Of
fered in each program, and while pri-
marily the meeting is for the hunting set
many a horse that never went to a fence
has earned his way modestly with the
prizes that are offered. The season just
cess for the little meetings. and 1t Is only
an index of what may be expected In the
same field of sport next season.
1t would be possible with a judicious
allotment of dates to have practically
continuous racing all next year over the
hunt courses, and each meeting need not
be of longer duration than two or three
days. There are horses enough, and each
year the list is swelled considerably H.
A. Nourne of the Watching Hunt, in
speaking of the prospects for 1909, said
that there would surely be no end of
racing. but that the amateurs would have
to strengthen their stables to meet the
changed conditions. Horses that have
formerly performed on the big circuit will
be raced at the small meetings. and this
Improvement in the class of horses will at

BABIES HATE LIGHT.
Even the Top Of the Pink Little
Head Is Sensitive to It.

From the Housekeeper.
One thing which we must learn to an
preciate and respect in the baby is his
attitude toward light. This is widely
different from ours. Light is one of the
most stimulating and attractive things in
the world to us. and the brighter the
better. But to poor blinking tot of
baby it is as dazzling and Irritating
as IL is grateful to us.
His chief objection to the new world
in which he finds himself, if he could
put it in words, would be: IT'S so beastly
light" He is born caveman in more
senses than one. While the rooms which
he occupies should get plenty Of sum
shine, this should never be allowed to
shine directly into his eyes or full upon
his face.
He has neither pigment in his tender
skin nor hair on the top of his pink little
head to protect him against the light

back In a troughltke perambulator, or
baby buggy, so deep and we'll padded that
he cannot even squirm: to load him down
with clothing and wraps. or even actually
strap him down so that he can lift neither
hand nor foot. and then 10 wheel him
about for hours with his little face turn
ed up to the full glare of the light, and
even the direct rays Of the sun.
Here is where the foundation of many

universal frown of perplexisy and pro-
test.

Importance in the New Jersey racing of
1909
Racing at the Elkwood Park during
the Long Branch fair was one of the most
successful sessions of the sport since the
old days. when the state was an impor-
tant place on the racing map. 1t was one
of the smaller meetings that testified to
the popularity of such racing, and before
it's season was completed plans were being
Laid for racing on a larger scale next
year.
At the present time ninety-six horses
are registered with the National Steeple-
chase and Hunt Association as qualified
hunters, and before the end of the winter
that number will be swelled very consid
erably by green ones that will follow the
hounds this fall and next spring. Gentle
man riders are plentiful. for licenses have
been issued to eighty-five of them. and
the youngsters are breaking into the
ranks continually.
