Is the Brooklyn Jockey
Club to Quit the
Board Of Control?
Mr.. HYDE VISITS GUTENBERG
Saratoga Associations Stakes
Close on Next Thursday.

There Is a strong probability, 80 Dame
RumOr says, that the Brooklyn Jockey club
Will secede from the race-course trust digni-
fed by the title Board OF control. Dame
kumor also says that the presence OF MIR
Richard Hyde at the North Bergen track yes
terday is significant, because Mir hyde is
one OF the largest stockholders In the mile

sity his word carries considerable weight
with IL. The fact, also, that long
and earnest conference was held between Mr..
Hyde and the management of the Hudson
County Jockey club. Is significant, says
the tickle old lady with garrulous propensi-
ties. But what the conference was about,
and whether IL was peaceful or stormy, no
one can say. lnquistivc reporters sought
out Mr.. Hyde and the other parties to the
conference, but not word would either d.
vulge as to the nature OF the consultation.
There may be some truth In what Rumor
says, for she always has slight foundation
to work on, and 1t wouldn't be at all surpris-

Philip Dwyer. although he voted for the
resolution, Is not heartily In favor OF It, and
as he also owns considerable stock, the club
is unit as against the Board OF control.
The Brooklyn Jockey club occupies some
what peculiar position IN the fight that Is
bound to come, and the best they can get Is
the worst Of II, no matter how the situation
Is viewed. In the first Place there IS no GER
tainty that the Board OF Control Will back
President Phil Dwyer up. They have broken
every promise made to him, as the history OF
racing will show. 1ncy also regard Mr..
Dwyer unfavorably because lie is too demo-
cratic and business-like and because he was
forced into their circle by public demand.
Therefore, there is no love lost between Mr..
Dwyer and his fellow members OF the Board.
In the second place, President Dwyer
will no doubt renew his fight with the
poo-rooms, and here he will be at q decided

that Guttenburg Will pay him for his Eliza
