The New Cal-1 ifornia Jockey Club has decided to reopen the I firBt ten stakes, originally advertised to close September 16, and has set October 5 as the day of closing. All horsemen who have made entries have the privilege of declaring out any or all such nominations, in which event the jockey club will refnnd the entrance fees. Thomas H. Williams, Jr., President New California Jockey Club.
