STAKES
ABANDONED BY
JOCKEY CLUB
Cancellation of Big EVenf IHdi-
cstes Officials Have Little
Hope for Future OF Racing
By }. e. JeHery


most significant was that owing TO ad-
verse legislation stopping racing, the
New California jockey club has de-
E, clsred of the California futurity stake
of 1893 and 1910, respectively, for foals
or 1907 and 1908"
These are the > year old stakes. for
which nominations OF mares were So
licited at the opening of the season of
1907. when the turf was in a prosperous
condition. It was planned TO make the
california futurity an annual fixture
with the idea that 1t might in time
grow into a classic Of as much com
psrative Importance as the notable
eastern fixture with similar conditions.
The abandonment of the stake. which
would have had its initial running next
fall. Is taken as another indication that
rne mana cement OF the New California
jockey club really entertains little hope
FOR the future OF racing IA California.
il was also announced that the
. stewards OF the New California jockey
cub have decided TO accept payment
- the me Of $500 imposed on Jockey
~, alter -diller for rough riding, refusal
, 10 pay which at the ume il was levied
resulted in Miller's retirement from the
saddle and the SeNering of his connec-
ti0n with the stable OF T. IL. Williams.

OFFERED TO PAY FINE
When the boy left here 70 return to
his home in New York he announced
thai he would never rioe again. and
Williams intimated that he would help
him keep his resolve by using his in
nuence 10 prevent the boy getting IL
cense TO riQe elsewhere. Just before Mil
ler left for the east he rendered payment
or The me, but Secretary Treat refused
40 accept the payment under instruc
mons from the stewards, who had some
To- Sea OF further disciplining the boy for
The INSTRUMENTATION which he had
SHOWN.
