Mr.. James r. Keene has made one
more big move towards making the
Jockey Club English to the marrow.
To-day a consignment OF 200 reams OF
English paper will arrive In this port on
the Atlantic transport freighter Massa-
chusetts, and 1t vii! be carefully trans
ferred to the. printing office of the Rae
ing Calendar, the official organ Of Mr..
Keene's Jockey Club. in Frankfort
street.
And there, on Wednesday night, guard
ed zealously from the eyes Of critical
Americans. the official organ OF the
Jockey Club will be printed on this
specially imported paper.
Mr.. Keene, 1t Is said. intends this as
a pleasant little surprise for his con-
freres in the Jockey Club, who are fever
ishly devoted to all that is British in
turf matters.
When the Racing Calendar was first
evolved everything was done to make
the publication as near a prototype OF
its English contemporary as was posi-
BILE. The style, the makeup, the title
copied, and type was procured similar
to tina used In England. In the queer
set OF rules which guided racing. as
set forth in the Racing Calendar Mr.;
chunks Of the bylaws and regulations
contained in the English Calendar they
cherished so fervently. But there was
other side that Mr.. Keene and his con-
freres couldn't possibly follow, you
know.
In England the Jockey Club would

It was another source OF income which

r. A. Bucks Sons were instructed by
Mr.. Keene, 1t is said, to import a guam
tity Of this English paper, and they or,
dered 200 reams less than a month ago.
Young Mr.. John Suck said to an
" Evening World" reporter to-day:
Yes; we expect that English paper BY
the Massachusetts, to-day, and II 1,
reaches here all right and in time, we
shall print the next number OF thu
Calendar on that imported paper.
do I think It would improve the ap-
p%earance Of the Calendar? l dom
Know that 1t will. We will have to wait
and see, But there's one thing that
should be mentioned.
when we ordered this consignment
Of paper from Weatherbys about q
month ago, the managers of the Eng
fish paper had decided upon making &
change in the kind Of paper 1t was being
printed on. The 200 reams due here to.
day are exactly like what was -.used
in printing the English Calendar 6
month ago, but 1t Is not the same as
they use over there to-day.
"Still, when we run out OF the 20
reams we shall order another consign'
ment. and 1t will be n duplicate of thu
paper now In use on the English Cal
