TIE FLEETWOOD PARK OUTRAGE.
In calling attention at various times to the
loosc and Sometimes shameful n.anner in which
tine affairs of the National Association were
conducted BY the few individuals who seem to
run that organization exclusively for the benefit
OF themselves and few personal friends, The
TRIBUNE has more than once had OCCASION to
alludc to the now somewhat celebrated case Of
A. J. Ichimmin, driver Of the stallion Black
wood, Jr., Us. 'tA1ajorr Gates Barnard, who in
1877 lad control OF Fleetwood Park, when that
tt:acf9 dc!aulted in the payment Of premiums
won by different horses. "Major" Barnard ad-
yertiscl meeting to be held at Fleetwood
Park aud among the other entries was that
OF Blaclwood Jr., who, in his race, won $500
more than the entrance fec which had been
paid. Mr.. McKmmn succeeded IN recov-
trnc from the clutches OF the "Najor'
his entrance money, but was compelled to Whis-
tic for the other $50 which his horse had won.
At the same meeting there we're number OF
entries for which tie money was not paid, and
these horses were promptly. suspended By
Barnard. AS the rules ol the National Assoclal
tiup also provide that members dcfauli1ng III
the payment OF purses are subject to expulsion,

Secretary Vail Of the facts in the case, and re-
ouested that the usual course be taken. In
stead Of att ending to the case OF ME. Mchimmlu
as he should have done, Ar. Vail seems to have
deliberately neglected it, and when the case
finally came before tue Board Of Appeals early
in 1873 there was an immense amount ol

gentleman, bcgad'' ~; une whom it would never

National Association to c1{>cl he would pay the
other hcrsemea who had been sWinl.ied out Of

Being the best be could get, Mr. Mcklmniu
accepted this cold comfort and went back to
Tennessee to wait the imperial pleasure OF the
great Board. At the recent meeting OF the
Buard OF Eeview hc was On nani again to see II
