le the great D.rby week, when
no, racing resources of the most

edge and promise made by Mr.. President |

ven to The utmost details the turfmen found |
al their wishes met in free and libera l
spirit. This feeling of satisfaction on the |
part of the Jockey Clubs guests spread
beyond their nsrroW circle, and took |
on the form of seIf-gratulation with
the public at large. Not a word of | H.,
dissent escaped from any one that we r
have heard of and not a word of complaint.
