STARTING BILL

Delays at Racing Post of 10
Minutes Now Very IN
usual Due to Bill.

New York. April 1.-THE stardBs
gate, which met with so much opposi-
ton here and in England before II was
adopted, has done wonders to improve
racing. 4 delay OF ten minutes now is
unusual.
In the old days half An hour at the
post was not uncommon, and it is re-
called that the horses were two hours
at the post before the start for the
American Derby at Chicago in 1898
Tod Sloan had a great deal TO do with
discarding the spur He never liked
to use them, and il the owner or trainer
insisted he would use roWels so dull
they would not even scratch a horses
side.
Sloan was a finished Jockey, and he
could ride any kind of horse. He
seemed to know a horse intuitively the
moment he got on its back. Sloan had
one great advantage over most Of his
rivals He never had TO waste to make
the weight.
What a pity the jockey club does
not raise the scale. There are so many
boys who devote their early life 10
riding and after a few years have to
give it up on account Of increasing
weight, just when they are at their
best
The European scale is much better.
Some of our jockeys that had out lived
their usefulness here went abroad and
did the best work Of their lives where
the heavier weights permitted them
to ride.
