Mr.. James X. 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 will be carefully trans
ferred TO the printing office OF the Rae
ing Calendar. the official organ OF MIR.
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-
treres 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
It's English contemporary as was posi-
BILE. The style. the makeup, the title
OF the English Racing Calendar were all
copied. and type was procured similar
to that used In England. In the queer
set of rules which guided racing. as
set forth in the Racing Calendar, Mr..
keene and his associates embodied huge
chunks Of the bylaws and regulations
contained In the English Calendar they
cherished SO fervently. But there was
one little feature in the Calendar on the
freres couldn't possibly follow. you
know.
In England the Jockey Club would
permit not a single line of advertising
IN It's official organ. English gentlemen
could not be regarded as tradesmen to
the extent of taking pay for such vulgar
things as ads for horse liniment: patent
h~orseshoes and nails and the like. But
the thrifty Mr.. keene and his equally
thrifty associates could not bear to see
a whole page or two pages OF good space
means.
1t was another source OF income which
could be beautifully worked in %conjunc..
ton with the wholesale impositions Of
Mr.: keene and the Jockey Club are
soliciting advertisements for their Cal
endar.
Still Mr.. Keene wasn't satisfied. His
Calendar was far from being English
enough to suit him. He knew Weather
bys. the publisher of the English calen-
dar, used real heavy; ,ponderous paper,
He must get a lot. of that heavy Eng
lish paper, precisely similar to what
Weatherbys used. and then his Anglo
ltihlldt Sbul "bull Dt llllt1 WIN JOY.
F.. 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 Buck said to an
I" Evening World reporte! to-day:
Yes; we expect that English paper by
the Massachusetts, to-day, and II 1t
reaches here all right and in time, we
shall print the next number Of the
Calendar on that imported paper.
do | think II would improve the APP
pearance of the Calendar? don't
know that II 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 a
month ago. the managers of the Eng
lish paper had decided upon making a
change in the kind Of paper it was being
| printed IN. The 200 reams due here to-
day are exactly like what was used
In printing the English Calendar n
month ago, but 1t Is not the same as
they use over there to-day.
"Still, when we run ont OF the 200
reams we shall order another consign-
ment, and IT will be a duplicate of the
paper now in use IN the English Cal
endar. Rut say. are you going to roast
the Jockey Club for its Anglo
maniaism?"
