CHICAGO, Feb. al noticed In the last num-
ber Of The Spirit Of the Times paragraph stat
Ing that Nj. u. F. Bush, Of Buffalo Acting
Chairman Of the scptilateral Board Of Stewards,
requested the Stewards Of the Associations at
Cleveland, buffalo. Rochester, Utica. Pough-
keepsie. Fleetwood Park. Hartford, and Spring
field to meet during the session Of the Board OF
Appeals for the Atlantic District, which IS to be
held Feb II, at the New York Hotel, in New
York City.
This request OF Mr.. Bush Is modest and
proper looking one, but to those who hare kept
track Of matters connected with the National
Board Of Appeals during the past year it has
q peculiar significance. 1t Is xell-known fact
tended as Court of Arbitration, in which the
disputes which so frequently arise between
horsemen and the managers OF trotting-tracks
could be heard and decided. Everything went
III I'm In
the country had been ropcd in, and heavily
assessed for entrance-fees and yearly dues
When this bad been accomplished, the
Western members of the concern began
to- Get bavs the been MoFss eo1e or from bad to
worse, until 1t is serious question With somc
Of the best-known trncs managers in the West
whether it would not be better to lose what they
have paid and look after their own interests,
rather than submit to the e1actlons OF cotcEle
of Eastern men who have no sympathy with
any tracks except in the East cleveland except
ed}, aud who have apparently determined to run
the Board entirely in tic interest OF the eight
tracks beginning at Cleveland and ending at
Springfield.
Mr.. Bush's polite invitation will be understood:
Il means that the Stewards Of the Septilatcrai
tracks are expected to meet with the Attain
tic Board Of Appeals, cat good dinner,
washed down with costly wines (al P Pro-
and then, while under these genial
influences, t'hx things,'' SO that, whntevef may
befaIi others, the Sept1}ateral tracks will have
smooth sailing next summer. 1t means also
that the Board OF Appeals has departed very 1ar
Mr. Bush to issue any such invitation and does
not rebuke the action. This Board IS sustained
by several hundred tracks all orer the country,
| and, when acting in their official capacity, the
members should not for an instant think OF ex-
= f1rn INV n
much less, allow a joint meeting OF The Board
aud the Stewards Of the Septaateral, or any
| other tracks. The whole affair completely
| robs the Board OF what little respect the
| horsemen Of the country had Tor it alter. the
| experiences Of last summer, and will do much
tphasten the dissolution OF an organization whose
] sole work consists Of eating good dinners at the
| cxnense OF somebody else, and taking care that
