THE TURF.
! 4 ToTEEn1Nd CONCERN.
| The Eastern papers, and especially the New
| York sporting journals, arc beginning to appsc-
| ciate tho extent Of the feeling Which has arisen
| against the National Association. and are making
desperate en.eayor to handle the matter Us deli
| catey as possible. For over Year The TRIBUNE
| has been hammcrtng away on this matter Of a
| thorough reconstruction OF the National Associa-
1un, and the code OF 1nles under which it has been
| working and its efforts IRE now being seconded BY
the very papers which, not long ago, secuted the
| idea that The National Association or tho koard OF
| Appeals could do wrong, and the Breeders Asso-
ciation which, at its recent meeting placed itself
| on record by vote Of majority Of the members
as having not the slightest confidence in the M
| tional Association or the men vino control it.
| The fact that tlis snub was administered by thc
| Breeders meeting was 6moothcd over Us MUCH AS
] possible by the New York papers, all OF which
appear to Gc under the influence OF the men COM
posing the Association, aud tlleir efforts in this
direction were allied by the fact that the meeting
] broke up in TOW. The New York papers do not
! put it just this way but such was the fact. The
Spirit says 'tAe meeting adjourned rather
| hastily aad unpleasantly," while tue yurJ, Field,
and FARM rcmurks that 1.-THE tone OF tho discus
sion was unfortunate. which is drawing it exceed
| ingly mild. The aforementioned paper is desetv-
| ing Of praise, however, for being the only one
which dared TO report tuly the debate OIL The mo-
