Horse Racing to Be Revived.

Horse Racing to Be Revived.
 Is there to be a revival of horse racing on the Pacific Coast next year?
 Turfmen in Pacific Coast States are asking this question and, to a certain extent, looking to Washing ton State for an answer. If the bill to permit a parimutuel form of wagering, to be introduced in the Washington State Legislature this year, becomes n law horsemen be- liece that racing will be revived
 Plans for thoroughbred circuit already are being discussed by turf men, according to Al Dobson, a we'll known turf official of California. If the proposed law in this state is passed the plan is to organize a cir cult with Seattle and Spokane as a nucleus and meetings in Nevada Colorado, Wyoming. Arizona, Cali fornia and possibly Idaho.
 Turfmen to Organize.
 
 With view Co 5.ganlZlng one Of Che biggest and best sulky circuits California had had in years, track owners and managers of race meet ings are being urged to get together next month and map out plans for the 1917 season. Attention has been called to the benefits to be derived from early action.
 During the season just closed there were nine associations in the Golden Gate that promoted success full meetings. Assurance is given that the same associations will be back on the circuit next season, with the addition of several others. The call has been issued for these association to send representatives to a meeting, where 1t would re- Quire only few hours work to ar- range program and dates.
 Horsemen would know what was in sight for the season, and would purchase and develop their young standard breds with that in mind. It is also expected that horses would be attracted from the Northwest and neighboring states, all of which would draw more entries and make for better racing attractions.
 It is said the trouble in the past has been that the promoters have put off making their announcements until the last minute and there has been no organization among them. This has had the effect of keeping the horsemen uncertain as to what to prepare for. In some cases Calf fornia owners and trainers are said
