GOSSIP OF THE TUBS. Next Beason John E. Madden will, for the first time, be represented on the turf by two-year-olds in large numbers, which have been bred by himself. He has forty-five yearlings which will carry his colors on the turf next eea-son. They have had preparation from the early spring until the late fall. It is the Madden system to give a colt much handling, and they have been going it in easy stages for months. First it was once a week that they came up out of the paddock for their exercise. Then they were given more of it and tbey were carried along by gradual ; progression until the time that they were let down late in the fall, just to feel of what they were. The farm-bred yearlings, together with the large purchases, will make fully a; hundred youngsters from which the Maddenlstring of 1902 will be selected. The amounts to be assessed on the Bix racing associations holding licenses from the State Racing Commission of New York, is a record breaker: The assessment is under the law providing that such associations shall pay to the state for the benefitof the agricultural societies five por. cent. of their gross receipts annually. In the year 1894, both the running and trotting associations, in round figures, paid in 25,000. This yearjthe tax of the associations holding running races for thoroughbreds alone is 28,581.50, a showing which iB far beyond even what the agricultural .eocietios expected ; it would be. The tax on the several associations contributing to this 28,581.50 is aB follows: Coney Island Jockey Club 2,016.39 Brooklyn Jockey Club 29,673.64 Westchester Bacing Association ., 21,609.89 Brighton Beach Bacing Association.... 20,380.59 Saratoga Association 13,630.81 QueenB County Jockey Club 11.S70.88 Total 28,581.50 Two Btrings of youngsters were added laBt week to the galaxy of thoroughbreds in training at the Old Kentucky Association course at Lexington.
