NO TWO O-YEAR-OLD RACES
until after APRIL IN 1916
Jockey Club Passes Rule That May Bar
Many Fro-, Stake Events-Wil
Help to Make the Thoroughbreds
Sounder of Limb

New York, Feb. 2.-Beginning with
the year 1917 no two-year.old vii. be
allowed to race on tracks under the
jurisdiction of the Jockey Club until
April /. The amendments to the rules
OF racing eurtailing the activities of the
baby racers were passed at meeting of
the Jockey Club held yesterday after
noon at the Offices of the club, Is East
Forty-frst street. It is believed that
the sport will be helped by conserving
the efforts of the youngsters until they
are more fully develope led and that it
will go far toward making the thor
Oughbreds sounder in limb and en-
abiing them TO withstand a longer ra-
eing campaign.
An amendment which provides for
barring from stake engagements any
two -year-old having violated the new
rale was tabled for the time being.
Before taking action on this clause the
stewards were empowered to confer
with the officials of the Kentucky and
Canadian tracks. Should these agree
on the inadvisability of admitting the
early racing Youngsters it is probable
that the two-year-old racers at Juarez
and New Orleans will be denied the
privilege of racing on Jockey Club
tracks.

At a meeting of the stewards follow

jockeys VINO were under a cloud were
restored to good standing. The most
notable rider whose application for
license was acted on favorably was
Tommy McTaggart, August Belmont s
old jockey. Tommy has been on the
ground since the Laurel meeting in
1918, when he was set down for rough
riding while riloting A. L. Aste's Ten
Point. He has made many applications
for license since then, but though he
had powerful backing his offense was

Regent

Beatriz Michelena appears at this
theatre to-day in the interesting Film
play of "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage
Patch,' picture produced with far
greater attention to minute detail than
was possible when it first appeared upon
the stage. An entire circus was hired
and transferred to San Rafael while
Theo. Roche, a leading lawyer, super
vised the court scenes.
The proLluc ton is a dramatization of
Anne Crawford Flezyners successful
play based upon the widely read stor-
les of "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage
Patch" and Lovely Mary by Alice
Hogan Rice. Taken all in all this is
one of the most interesting and at the
same time one of the most ENJOYABLE
films ever produced and thrown upon
the screen for the amusement of the
public.
This most entertaining production
will be followed on Saturday by an
equally attractive drama entitled as
1.-THE Gildel Fool with William Far
mum as the star, who for several sex
sons has been the reigning favorite of
the Broadway successes. In this very
enticing play his support consists of
some of the best known artists on the
stage among whom are Maude Gilbert
and Margaret Vale. the niece of Presi-
dent Wilson, which fact has made this
film one of the most popular of the pic
ture plays on account of the eminent
