NEWMARKETS ENLARGED RACING PROGRAM. For a thaw after it was announced that raeing was to be restricted to Newmarket this year. English owners and trainers leared that it meant that only tli" regular meetings of normal times would lie permitted, Fortunately this fear was dispelled by the official announcement that five "extra" meetings would take place as follows: First Extra Meeting 3 days May 29. 30. 31. Second Extra Meeting 3 days lune 12. 13. 14. Third Extra Meeting 3 days . .July 31. Aug. 1. 2. Fourth Extra Melting 3 days... Aug. 14, 15, 10. gBfftflirr Meeting 4 days Sept. 4. 5. 0. 7. Commenting on Which Luiilou Sporting Life said: "The dates have been well arranged, as with one or two exreptioiis racing will take plaee at headquarters every alternate week from April 17 to the end of October. Between the Second Extra meeting and the First July meeting there is a lapse of three weeks, and the same applies to the Fourth anil Fifth Extra meetings, the latter of which is giMii the distinctive title of September Meeting." After file latter, however, there is a full month before the First October fixture: but there is plenty of time for many things to happen before then. and with tie- question of sport at ether centers still left opt B for discussion, there is yet hope that many of the blank weeks will lie filled in. As the list at present stands there is a total of forty fhe day* on which racing will take place at headquarters, and for the present the matter can be allowed to rest in the hands of the Jockey Club stewards, who will undoubtedly arrange other dates if there is any aaaeibtttty of their doing so."
