Quite English. You know.


Mr.. James Il. 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-
cnusstts. and 1t will be carefully trans
ferred to the printing ONCE 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. It is said, intends this as
a pleasant little surprise for his con-
ireres in the Jockey Club. who are fever
ishly devoted to all that Is British In
turf matters.
When the Racing Calendar was first
the publication as near a prototype of
Bile. The style the makeup, the title
OF the English Racing Calendar. We're all
copied. and type was procured similar
to that used In England; In the queer

one little feature In the Calendar on the
other side that Mr.. keene and his con-
f~reres couldn't possibly follow. you
know.
In England the. Jockey Club would
permit not a single line of advertising
In rs 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
horseshoes 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
go to waste In their publication. BY no
means.
1t was another source OF income which
fines, forfets and penalties. And SC
Mr; keene and the Jockey Club are
soliciting advertisements for their Cal
FG s,iil Mr.. keene wasn't satisfied. His
Calendar was far from being English
enough TO suit him. He knew, Weather,
dar. used real heavy. .ponderous paper,
That was where his Calendar differed.
He must get a lot of that heavy Eng,
W~eatherbyss used, and then his Anglo
Il. A. Bucks Sons were instructed by
Mr.. Kcene, 1t is said, to import a guam,
tity OF thiA' English paper. and they or
dered 200 reams less than a month ago.
Young MIR, John Buck said to ar
" Evening World" reportet to-day:
Yes; we expect that English paper b!
the Massachusetts to-day, and II I
reaches here all right and in time, W.
shall print the next numbe of tn,
Calendar on that imported paper;
"Do | hin II would improve the ap'
p%earance OF the Calendar? l dom
know that 1t will. We will have to wal
and SEQ. But there's one thing thaI
should be mentioned.
"When we ordered this CONSIGNMENT
OF paper frpm Weatherbys about
month ago, the nag of the eng
lish paper had decided upon making
change In the kind Of paper 1t was bein,
printed on. The 200 reums due here to
day are exactly like what was useC
in printing the English Calendar
month ago, but It Is not the same a!
they use over there to-day.

reams W. shall order another c~onslgn
