The next meeting OF the Board OF Control
will DO one OF the most important ever held by
that august body. ns the immediate future OF
Monmouth Park will practically be decided.
and racing men will then know whether tho
meeting for 1892 will be OF but fifteen days
duration on tho tracks OF the Concy Island.
New York. and Brooklyn Jockey Clubs. or OF
the regulation thirty days on the splendid now
course near Long Branch Owners will then
know whether tho stakes down to close next
month are to be cancelled or net. and tho gen
ernl air Of dlsauict will give way to n feeling
Of certainty.
Mr.. John A. Morris will hardly return 10 New
York before the latter part Of April. as he always
spends n month ut his immense ranch In Texas
but Mr. Thilip Dwyer Is home once more. and
the Board will have n good working force with
Messrs. Dryer Lawrence. Cassatt. Galway.
and Hunter present. A Chairman will be elect
ed md successor to Mr. With"rs will prob
ably be selected. Tho Board has demonstrated
to the satisfaction OF everybody that it is
amply qualified 10 lcgisatc for tho American
turf II is. of course. young organization as
yet. AMI there is room for Improvement. but
the tendcucy from the first has been (" foster
the best interests OF the sport. A number Of
the eIiles on GuttcnburS's hilltop declared
that the Board would be compelled TO rcscind
its famous rule against winter tracks. but
there is nc sign of weakness yet. and those
who cast their lot with the Gut made their
own beds and must perforre lie in thonI.
iiorsenen would like nothing better than
racing Mt Monmouth during the coming sum
MGR. and there are some who believe that the
refusal o! the Monmouth Park authorities To-
renew their lease of Jerome rark has any other
Significance than that tho big course will bc in
use again after n years idleness. Tho prop
erty has been steadily improved. and every
thing has been kept in perfect shape. The hotel
Is complete. and il is great shame that such
. course should remain closed when such in
etitutlons as Gutenberg and Gloucester are
permitted to race in all sorts OF weather. A
word or two about the racin: ut Guttenburg
will not be out OF place. OF late the crooked
work at that course has been amazing. and SO
bold have the makers Of lohs hrcoms that lit.
