No Prospect Of the Board
Of Controls Edict
Being Raised.
GOOD RACING ON THE HILL.
Ma Belle Regains Her Position as
a Purse Winner.

morning paper announces with great
flourish oil trumpets that the war between
tht Board VI control and the HUDSON County
Jockey Cub Is nearly at az end. The article
then goes on TO state the re lsons for this
teief, which are precisely the same as have
been stated IN this column at different inter.
walls for weeks past
Ths real truth OF the matter is that tho
Board OF Control and the Hudson County
Jockey club are no nearer compromise to-
day than they were month ago. Every
well-informed turlman knows that the famous
edict OF the Board OF control against Winter
racing was directed against Guttenburg ex-
clusively. They also know that the largest
holders Of stock in the Hudson County Jockey
Club are men who WELD mighty influence in
New Jersey politics.
How the Monmouth Association Jared In its
efTorts to pass bill through the Legislature
last year is matter OF history, the details OF
which only the aforementioned politicians
can give. Having Jailed in its Efforts 10 pass
thirty-day race bill isst year, the Month
mouth Association, as o member OF the Board
OF Control. besought that body to assist In
passing bill this year. Peaceable measures
would not do, so the boycott was placed upon
Guttenourg in the hope that the big pol.
iticans would be forced to come TO terms
such is a brief history OF the racing situa-
tion up to date.
The Board OF Control antagonized the people
they should make friends OF The big rCur
OF Hudson County, Messrs. Mclaughlin. Carr,
Walbaum and Crusius, have grown enorm-
ously rich from the PROFITS OF their race track,
and with this wealth came additiona, power.
The s"verest sufferers by the closing OF the
Guttenburg track would therefore. be the
poor horsen.en and the army OF retaners and
business men OF Hoboken and Jersey City
who pro1t by the tracks existence.
Two weeks after the Board OF Control pro.
mulgated its famous resolution, they found
that a mistake had been made. Overtures
were then made TO tho Hudson County people
and the fact was exclusively reported IN this
column. Since that time these ofrers OF COM
promise have been made again ana again, but
the answer OF the Hudson county people was:
Withdraw the boycott and we will be ready
to talk." This the Board rs q body cannot
very wen do, since they have repeatedly and
publicly declared that their edict was simply
made on moral grounds. There the matter
stands. Both sides are STUBBORN.
The Board would have had the svmnathy
effect their purpose. In reaching for tho
powerful politicians OF Hudson county how.
ever. they strike al the poor horseman by en-.
deavoring TO crush out his mea MS OF livelihood
and at the same time barring him Irum the
| legitimate tracks. Those who profess TO
| know say that Hudson County has only TO say
the woru and the bills will 80 through.

The racing at Guttenours has improved

suspicious performances the races have been
run and won on their merits. The result was
Immediately apparent. The attendance In
bCoSmakers have taken stands.
The most Interesting race at Guttenburg
yesterday was the nve-turong dash, fourth
on the card. II was interesting because Of
the changes that took place in the betting.
Benjamin opened at TO 3, a favorite. Prince
Howard was second choice, Little Fled third
aud Zenobia fourth, the latter being quoted
at q TO i. suddenly a tremendous plunge
was made on Zenobia. Men rushed about
rrantically to get bet on McCormicks lilly,
and In less than flve minutes she was at
eyCuS.
BenJamin's price went up and up until t.
/ was quoted against him. The reason for
this was not ap aren't until IL was learned
that Benz min had run away In his prellmi-
nary, ard tue la!eHt believing Zenobia the
next best hai plunged on her. During tho
plun .e, however, u steady Play was made on
PrtDce howard, and he proved the winner.
The Matagorda iilly ran extremely well, hold
ing the lead 70 the last tour yards where Mar
TIN, by brilliant riding, landed Prince Howard
rirst by neck. Zeno6ia was third. Benjamin
died away badly.
