The New York World states that the
pool room keepers of that city held a meeting
Friday night at the Turf Exchange. 29th street
The purpose OF the meeting was to decide
whether they should take the entries from the
Ivy city meeting or the Hudson County Jockey
Club. During the day number of the city
pool room keepers we're in favor OF taking the en-
tries from Ivy City. and they stated that the
running at the Guttenburg track of late was so
inconsistent that they were heartily tired of it.
