AN UNDESIRABLE REVIVAL MOOTED. Sonieiiiing in ihe way of a surprise is the stale nicnl, made in I New York newspaper that racing ■aaj he rraamfq at Brighton Reach. It has been supposed thai tliis track was periiianentlv removed from ilie racing map. but it is now slated tl-a; ii ciiuhl be maile as fit for racing as it ever was in two weeks time. The big grandstand remains whore it lias always been, while The clubhouse, paddock and iM-tting ring are intact. Last fall the fence »as torn down, the field stand was razed and carted away, streets were surveyed and there was much dumping of gravel In the infield and across tie upper end of the track. But a halt in the work was called recently and nothing is being done at the track site :i t present. The lirijjhton Beach Association so grossly re-podlvted its obligations to horsemen and its as-.. liate racing organizations Inst summer tli.it it mtm* doubtful whether the Jockey tlub would sanction ii- leentrv b toe field «.! racing. However, it seems Ijigeinau is considering the matter, and a represent alive of 1 is said a few days ago: "When wo liegan our MOMMr meeting last vear and betting was earned on under the KiseliofT decision the attendance was excellent. We raced to 1909.sh,300 in receipts one Saturday, but a few days later the alleged bookataketl were raided, arrested and searched without warrants, and there was §o mueii disorder that bae erowds dwiodted to almot notkinc. But tli Bischoff decision baa slacc been sustained l.y toe Appellate Division, and that will be Ihe law until the V»urt of Appeals hands down ■ decision one way or the oilier. If tlie King.-Count.v authorities, therefore, will respect tlie ruling of tie Appellate Division oral letting can go on. and I t • ink a successful race meeting at the Beam track can bo held."
