AUSTRALIAN RACING.
(By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association) SYDNEY, Thursday. The Australian Jockey Club has sub-, mitted a scheme to the Government for an improvement and curtailment of racing. The Club proposes to acquiro the Moorefield and Warwick Farm racecourses and reduce the fixtures. To prevent clashing thereby they will largely increase the prize-money, attracting the best horses, and remove the menace to legitimate sport .which the present unlimited fixtures threatens. The clubs concerned have mutually agreed to accept a reduction by eighteen pony meetings, fourteen metropolitan trots, and eighty provincial meetings. This leaves sixty-two registered horse meetings, fifty-four unregistered pony meetings, and twenty-six trotting meetings, in the metropolitan area, besides about fifty provincial meetings. The scheme requires Parliamentary sanction.
