by the decision of the Board of Control,
is now faced by a positive position. He
cannot pretend to sell his horses, and
whip the devil around the stump in that

The Hudson County Jocky Club is firm

attitude. 1t therefore presents to owners
and trainers almost continuous employ

every effort made to accommodate those
owners who determine to be Independent
