New YORK, Nov. 23.-The American
Jockey Club is considering the feasibility
of offering a grand Centennial purse of
from SIS, 900 to $50. 900 for a great race
to be run at Jerome Park next season;
for if large purse were offered it is
thought that two or three English racers
would be entered for the contest, which
would be made open to all corners with
weight for age. The size of the purse
will depend somewhat on the aid they
may derive from hotels and railways.
The purse will not at all events be made
up on the principle governing the Cali
fornia $50, 900 purse where the entrance
fees, ten per cent. of the purse go into
the hands of the managers. As there
are nine entries in the pending Califor-
MIA race, $27 900 of the purse is paid by
the owners of the horses entered. The
entrance money for the proposed Centen-
NAL purse will be added to the stakes
even if the Jockey Club is obliged to
make up the purse entirely.
The Baltimore & Ohio R. r. Co. have
completed arrangements with new
foreign line of steamers to ply between
Baltimore and Liverpool. The first ves-
sci will leave Glasgow in a few days,

dred tons capacity and built expressly
for carrying heavy cargoes of grain. The
regular trips will be begun in the latter
part of December.
