LATE SPORTING.

ENGLISH RACING. REPORT OF A COMMITTEE. (Received Dec. 5, 1.10 a.m.) LONDON, Deo. 2. The Jockey Club’s'committee appointed to inquire into the condition of racing finds that the proportion of stakes contributed by owners is considerably higher than in France, Australia or New Zealand. It contrasts the generous treatment of owners by Australasian clubs compared with that in England, especially in regard to added money and giving the public lower admission rates. The report recommends the Jockey Club to exercise closer control of racecourses and to lower the admsision charge.
