With the announcement of the early
closing events to be raced at Ho-
hokus and Carmel, the programs of
the entire Metropolitan circuit are
now complete.
Following the lead of Goshen and
Monroe, Hohokus has put on a pro-
gram made up entirely of early clos
ing events which calls for ten races
each with value of $1,000, Carmel
has announced three early closers,
and each of these is worth $1,000.
With these two tracks in line the
money value of the stakes alone on
the Metropolitan circuit will be $685.
900, and the class races to be added
20 the various programs will easily
bring the amount up to $4,000. The
magnitude of this undertaking is
without parallel or precedent in the
history of the half-mile tracks, and
those who in the beginning were in
cined to throw cold. water on the
proposition and its ultimate organi-
cation and success must indeed feel
foolish at this time.
The organization is Incorporated
for $4,000 under the corporation laws
of New York State and is limited to
the admission Of sixteen tracks. At
this time, or rather for the coming
season, but eleven tracks are in the
chain, and none may be added until
