GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

The general run of turfmen do not
seem to realize the perilous position
that racing interests are in just now.
and up to the present there has been very
little visible movement among turf fol-
lowers at large In combining forces to
defeat the proposed amendment at the
polls An Evening World" reporter
talked to a number of men who are
prominent in turf circles, at Jerome
Park yesterday, and there was not one
who seemed to think that there was
even remote chance OF killing the
game in this State. There Is the same
feeling of supreme confidence among
turfmen in this State that prevailed in
New Jersey some years ago. The
millions and millions OF dollars at stake
| is too great to take chances with, and a
careful and methodical survey of the
! question as II now stands shows that
the sport Of kings Is not on the the nrm gins
at Jerome Park and the advent of so
large number Of small racing organi-
cations will hurt racing. The days when
are past, and the public has found it
| out.
