be a tweive-oay meeting. with racing on three DAYS
I, each week. The arrangements have not been
completed owing to the opposition Of the Brooklyn
Jockey club the proposed change There is little
doub, among the leading turfmen that the change
will be made. Horsemen are delighted at the pros
,sc,s NJ racing in this neighborhood next year

that liberal stakes will be offered and that the
nurses are likely to he fully valuable as the
nu,ses given last fall Owing to the holding of the
Morris Park meeting in April and May, there IS
reason to believe that people in society VIII be
induced to turn out in large numbers. In the Gays
when racing was patronzed by all the social lead
ers the Jerome Park spring meeting was the first
outdoor gathering of the season on some occa-
sons there upward Of twenty-five coaches and

,rq could be further from the truth The Jockey
club is the salvation of the poor owner who Is
tonest AMI upright. The disreputabe owners
trainers and jockeys are doomed. as the turf has
no use for them Every honest horse-owner Is
aware that both the poor and the wealthy owners
alike are doomed il stewards make disqualhcations
At the request Of bookmakers and notorious gam
hlers When honest owners are defrauded by racing
officials it is high time &c wipe out racing entirely
The Jockey Club aims he just in all its dealings;
consequently the pinchbeck turfmen of the Brum-
rooce type are not likely be retained in official
places even II they have the backing Of the dis
reputable ones. who have disgraced the great sport
OF racing.
