From its institution the Burns Handicap has been the most important race annually run in California. When it was founded tho Brooklyn and Suburban Handicaps wore each of !the guaranteed value of S10.000. so the Burns was made of the same value and remained a 0,000 stake, with a net value to f the winner of 1908.sh,850. until the present time. But in preparing its stake list for tho meeting of 190S-9 the California Jockey Club changed the Burns from a 0,000 guaranteed stake to one with 0,000 added and by this simple expedient so increased its value that when it again comes up lor decision it is quite probable the winners portion will le fully 5 000. This makes it, as matters are now. the tno3t important handicap, not alone in California. Imt of the American turf of 1909. It will be run January 30 next. There will be no Brighton Handicap next year, and even If the Brooklyn and Suburban Handicaps are run it is quite certain that tbev will be at such reduced values as to make them much, inferior to the Burns in that respect.
