GOSSIP OF The TURF.
Formation Of a National Jockey
Club Under Consideration.
Such Action a Move in the Riuh
Direction.
"Duke OF Glouccster's" Proposed
Track OH Long Island.

The meeting OF representative owners
and trainers at the Hoffman House last
evening Is calculated to do the turf II
great deal OF good. They proposed to
organize thoroughly, take charge of race
meetings, appoint stewards, judges. sc.
This IL "a move in the right direction, ana
one that "The Evening World has long
been fighting for.
The question arises. however. ps 10 the
attitude of race-track proprietors and
the Board OF Control towards the new
Association. The Board of Control means
Messrs. Dwyer, Norris & Co. The Messrs.
Dwyer control Brooklyn and Mr.. Morris
owns Norris Park ana is the moving
spirit at Monmouth Park. WIN they re-
Vol submit 10 the appointing Of Judges.
&c, by the new body? The probabilities
are that they will be forced to do 20.
A body of turrmen such as those who
gathered at the. Hoffman House last
night can control racing as they please.
Ihey represent the most powerful
stables on the turf: They propose to
representative ~horsemen. and appoint
from that body IA Board OF Stewards.
dhey VIII protest against the reduction
mat may be introduced at Albany this
season for affecting the Ives Pool bill.
The new turf Organization however,
makes the serious mistake of holding
star chamber proceedings. The public
should be first considered by these gem
tlemen. for the public support racing.
Their meetings should he held wide
open, and the fullest publicity courted.
rms Is not n plea on behalf OF news
paper men. but for the public. What
ever Is done, avoid Board of Control
methods.
IT Is proposed by Billy Thompson,
Duke of Gloucester" to establish a
cheap, and popular race course on Long
Island. 1T Is near the Brooklyn city
line, In the village of Maspeth, and at
present II is half IA mile In circumfer-
ence. Ten cents is the fare to the
track, and 1t is but eight minutes ride
from Long Island city. The track Will
be enlarged to a mile and a palatial
grand-stand will be erected. 1t is pro-
posed to race On the dates.
Evidently Mr.. Thompson thinks there
VIII be no racing in New Jersey next
year.
Eugene Van Keuren, who will be re-
memoered as the rider of Contribution
and Riot, has signed to ride for LUCKY
Baldwin for the coming season.
Jockey George Taylor will ride for
Orlando Jones next year. Jones expects
TO have a powerful stab of two-year-
olds. Taylor Is a good, skilful rider, but
has been unfortunate for the past two
years.

THE WHITE CITY.
FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

Taking leave of the Convent Santa Ma ria de la Rabida and the big gun, krupp, we will wend our way to the Agricultural building, which in external sculptural adOrnment, is scarcely un- rivaled by any of the great buildings.
 We enquire for the Canada exhibit and 10 and behold we are confronted by the mammoth cheese, which is 29 feet in circumference and weighs 22, 1000 pounds. or II tons. The hoop is of steel and to make it solid, a weight, or pressure of more than 200 tons, was applied to it. It took 207 200 pounds of milk, or the milk of 10000 cows for one day ill Sep tember. The maker, J. A. Nuddick of the dairy commissioners, staff Ontario, Can., was assisted by cheesemen from l l adjacent factories. Allowing the milk of 10000 cows for one day, would be an equivalent for 2 COWS for an entire year. There had just arrived also several cheese, which we may call baby cheeses, though they weighed 1000 pounds each.
 special truck has been made for this
 big cheese, and when the exposition closes here, it is to be carried to Eng land and exhibited in all the great cities of England and |. eland, as well as Scot land. It is called the "Canadian mite,' and forms part of the pyramid of Can adian dairy products at the Worlds fair.
 It may not be out of place to notice, in this connection, the celebrated Ferris
 wheel in Midway Plaisance, which was introduced to the public for their bene- fit and pleasure, June 2l. The author is George w. c. Ferris, q young engineer of Pittsburg. It is 250 feet in diameter. 823 in circumference and 30 feet wide It has 36 carriages for passengers hung
 on it's periphery at equal intervals.
 Each car is 27 feet lOng,13 feet wide and
 nine feet high, containing 40 revolving chairs, made of wire and screwed to the floor It weighs l3 tons and with 40
 passengers will weigh three tons more.
 It has conductor to open the doors, preserve order and give information. All the cars will carry HOO persons. The wheel with it's cars and passengers will
 weigh about 1900 tons. It is substan- JiallY supported. Every direction in the way of danger .a estimated and provided tor. It is under the control of 1000 horse power reversible Blooming train engine. It has a large Westinghouse air brake. 1t is arranged to empty and refill six cars at time and there will be six stops
 in every revolution. Passengers will re- main on board during two revolutions and pay 30 cents for the same. As it is elevated l5 feet above the ground the pleasure traveller can view the landscape at an elevation of 265 feet. It is of course conspicuous object from all points of the compass.- Rev A.

THE VETERAN FRUIT GROWER OF coNNEC
 TICJT,

Hollister Sage, in the Tribune, reports James Burr of Monroe as the veteran fruit grower of Connecticut. Is he! William Platt of Newtown thinks he has some ground, though not as many acres, to claim the title. He did not catch the gold fever in 1S49 and go to California with the crowd, the most of whom got badly left and did not get what went after, wiz, what mankind most covet. But he did take 100 quarts of Hovey seeding strawberries to New York City in but ter crate to Drew & French, Barclay street commission merchants, who sold about one half of them for 37 l-2 cents per box and the remainder for 25 cents, the dealers claiming that their patrons were tired of them and wanted, as they do now, raspberries. The empty boxes cost me five cents each, were returned to me and filled again with raspberries. I William Platt.

ORDAINED FOR THE MINISTRY.

Elisha z. Ellis, well-known prohibit tionist and temperance worker, was or dained as Christian minister in the Mill Plain Baptist church, last Sunday. He has been laboring in that church few months past, and earlier labored in con- nection with the late Elder Potter, his father-in-law. He was once candidate for Congress on the prohibition ticket, as well as for various other offices, at every election for the past few years. A very worthy man. Elder Davis of Bridge port, Call of Ohio, and Tucker of Maine are mentioned as officiating in the cere- monies. They also had a baptism by immersion in Lake Kensoa in the after noon.
