Charlie Ford, which was to have taken place
yesterday afternoon at the Jockey Club track,
was necessarily postponed on account OF the ln-
clement weather. The articles OF agreement
between the owners OF the TWO horses stipulated
that in case the day and truck were not good on
the day set for the race, it was to be postponed

THIS WEEKS TROTTING.
The present week will be notable one in turf
circles from tho fact that three Of the principal
Western Associations have fixed upon it as the
date for giving their spring trott1ng meetings.
These Associations are Jackson, Mich, Detroit,
and Milwaukee. The clash in the dates between
Jackson and Detroit Is the result Of the mis-
understanding and consequent bad feeling winch
has existed between the officers or the various
Michigan Associations for several ycurs. 1t was
not originally intended by any OF the parties
that the tracks in Michigan should conflict with
each other In the dates Of their meetings,
but rs soon as an effort was Nude
to arrange the spring circuit, the trouble began.
