dealt with because he had made most or his
preparations for tile Oakland meeting be-
fore he was Informed that the Jockey Club
intended to continue racing on this side of
the bay. There Is plan TO elect Williams
president of the association at the meeting
tonight. but it viii be opposed by Schwartz
and his friends. Ii nominated in recOgni-
ton or his valuable services at the recent
meeting. Williams will undoubtedly be
elected. In that event SchwartZ's friends
will demand an investigation into some of
the associations affairs. Schwartz asserts
that certain privileged persons became men,
bers of the association without the regular
formaiiiy and enjoyed all the privileges of
regular members at the recent meeting.
B. Holly, tie popular knight of the turf,

several horses entered at the next meeting.
but he has since departed with the string

fairly treated last Thursday in the hand-
