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 will 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 an 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
of the English Racing Calendar, were all
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
other side that Mr.. keene and his on
freres couldn't possibly follow, you
know.
In England the Jockey Club would
permit not a single line OF advertising

could not be regarded as tradesmen to
the extent of taking pay for such vulgar
things as ads for horse Imminent, patent
horseshoes and nails and the like. Blu,
the thrifty MIR. Keene and his equally
thrifty associates could not Dear to see
a whole page or W pages of good space
go to waste in their publication. BY no
means.
It 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

E.. 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 n month ago.
Young Mr.. John Buck said to an
" Evening World" reportet to-day:
"Yes; we expect that English paper by
the Massachusetts to-day, and II II
reaches here all right and in time, We
shall print the next number of the
Calendar on that imported paper.
DO | him II would improve the APP
pearance of the Calendar? I dom
know that 1t will. We will have to wait
see. But there's one thing that
should be mentioned.
when we ordered this consignment
OF paper from Weatherbys about 9
month ago, the manager OF the Eng
lish paper had decided upon making &
change In the kind Of paper It was belni
printed on. The 200 reams due here to.
day are exactly like what was uset
in printing the English Calendar {
month ago, but It 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 II will be n dunllcatc OF tn:
paper now In use on the English Cal
cndar. But say, are you going to rOaS'
the Jockey Club for its Anglo
maniaism?"
