GOSSIP OF THE TURF,
The Trouble Between the Coney

The new Jockey Gu made an ex-

night to boycott the Coney Island JOCKEY

mistake, but it is also a move that is

privileges does this association bestow in

1t demands from the c. /. ]. c.?

what Is the matter with our racing ?

The horsemen organized. so II Is said
because of favoritism which was alleged
