The annual volume of the English Racing Calendar for 1917 was issued in April. The statistics show that during last season there were in England 315 races of a total value of £99,461, in Ireland 357 races of the total value of £55,971, and in Scotland twelve races of the total value of £2004. These figures show a great reduction from normal times; for instance, in 1913 the table was as follows: England 1668 races of the total value of £518,673, Ireland 350 races of the total value of £40,223, and Scotland 86 races of the total value of £13,385. The number, of horses of different ages that ran in 1917 was 1911, whereas in 1913 there were 4055.
