RACING REVIVED
IN NEW YORK CITY

New York, April 4--Horse racing is
to be revived in New York state. This
assurance was given tonight In an
announcement by the Jockey Club that
nm owners fund" had been subscribed
TO provide proper purses. and that re-
newal OF racing would be inauguratcd
with a meeting at Belmont Park. be-
ginning Memorial Day, May 80 At
the close OF the Belmont Park meet on
July 5. twelvc-day meeting Will be
opened on the Jamaica track. and after
this there Will he racing at Saratoga
all the month of August.
Should conditions warrant, autumn
meetings may be considered. says the
announcement. 1t Is probable. II was
learned, that there will be fall racing
at the Aqueduct and Empire City tracks
as we'll at Belmont Park and ia
maica again.
The revival has been made possible
by recent court decision holding that
oral betting was not bookmaking and
that such betting did not make direc-
tors of racing associations liable to
prosecutions under the antibettlng
laws. The subscribing owners include
August Belmont, Thomas f. Ryan II
r. Whitney. II. T. Oxnard, Joseph r.
Widener, George - Widener. James
Butler and r. II. Wilson.
Realizing that racing associations
would be put to great expense in an
EFFORT TO re-cstablish racing, the an
nounccment says, and TO avoid the ne
cessity of their charging burdensome
entry fees TO horse owners and OF re-
stricting the amounts OF added money
to stake and overnight events the
horse owners decided upon the raising
OF their fund.
The races. which are TO be revived
at Belmont Park. according TO the an
nouncement. include the Metropolitan
Handicap. Withers, Juvenile Grand Ma
tional Steeplechase, the Belmont
Brooklyn Handicap. Great American.
Brooklyn Derby and Astoria Dinner
Stakes. The Futurity is carded to he
run at Saratoga In August.
In all. fifty-fve racing days are def
nitely provided for up to September l.
Racing at Belmont Park at the meeting
beginning May 30 will be held only
three days a week. 1t is understood
that from $4,000 to $4,000 is to be added

two acres of surface. and on the RATS
they establish farms. where produce
grows. On these great floating farms
are habitations for the men and sta
bles for the animals, pigpens. feed
barns and storehouses well stocked
with provisions. The voyage to mar
ket is often 1000 miles. and to employ
their time on the slow journey the
jewellers on the RATS make baskets
and many objects Of household use.
Arrived at their destination. they sell
their produce. take apart and sell the

ways used BY ordinary travellers. Har-
