March 29. — The Jockey Clubs new rule regarding selling races, which eliminates one of the objections under former conditions, will go into effect at the opening of the Powie meeting on Saturday next. Instead of the owner of the horse finishing second and the association dividing the runup surplus, all the starters in the race will split it equally Pnder this ruling, for example, if eight thoroughbreds start and the winner is advanced Suuo. each owner will receive 025. The P.owie management will cater to long distance races during tlie first seven days, and the program look for the remainder of the meeting probably will contain just as many opportunities for the route-going horses. For every day. except Monday. April 3. three contests have been arranged at a mile or more, while there will be a number at seven-eighths out of the chute.
