GOSSIP OF The TURF.
How It Is Said the New Jockey
Club Will Supervise Racing.
President Walbaum's Decision May
Be Expected Tomorrow.
Suspension of George Miller at San
Francisco Removed.

Just how the new Jockey Club In
tends to supervise racing is not yet gen.
orally known. A prominent turfman,
who Ia a member of the new organlza-
ton. and therefore in a position to
speak intelligently on the subject, says
that the new Jockey club will appoint
three stewards. They will be we'll
known turfman, and will serve for the
love Of the sport alone. The three men
will have equal authority, and their de-
cisions will be final in all matters. They
will have the appointing OF judges, the
starter, Handicapped and clerk of the
scales. They will also appoint stewards
to the number of three for each meet
ing. They will also serve without pay.
The duties of these minor stewards
will be to supervise racing at each
meeting. Different Boards of Stewards
may be selected, as the work imposed
upon one Board would be too great a
task. In case of disputed decisions ap-
peal may be taken to the new Jockey
Clubs Board. The latter will serve for
one year. At the end of that time one
Of. the stewards will retire and another
take his place. The new member will be
known as the Junior steward.
This plan seems feasible enough, pro-
vided they can get the proper men to
serve: There are few men in this coun-
the new Jockey Club will prohibit the
stewards from betting. or from having
any interest In the ring or in stables,
tions should certainly be observed. No
matter how honest or capable a man
may be, his interests, II in a bet. a
stable. or a book, will certainly bias his
judgment.
President, Walbaum, of the Hudson
County and Saratoga Jockey Clubs, is
to the new Jockey Club as to whether
the Saratoga Association will come into
the fold, will then be forthcoming.
Well informed urfmen say that Wal
baum will join, as the move would give
a tremendous boom to racing in Sara

rode Kern in the Lorillard Stakes in
1889. and the Dryers claimed that he
deliberately interfered with Longstreet,
so that Salvador could win. A hot scene
followed between the Dryers and J. b.
Haggin, and the breach has never been
healed. Brandt was not seenin the sad
