AS predicted early in the annual
meeting, the stewards of the grand
circuit adjourned their executive ses-
SION late yesterday without having
made any radical changes in the
rules for big line racing. The pro-
posed change in the record rule may
go into effect in 1916. but not this
year The four-heat racing system
was made permissible. at the option
of the associations
The most important change in the
rules had to do placing a. ban on the
racing of two horses from the same
ste Bile in the same contest, except in
dashes. However. in event that four
or less start. two such horses may
start. providing the ownership Is an
nounced from the stand These
starters must be coupled in betting

allowances gained by horses in 1914
