men have been granted by the Iron Hill
management, and it is safe to say that
the Singcrly management will give in
now that only Il few days remain to bo
wasted. No doubt the firm of Macklin
and Marks thought the horscmcn could
not hold out these two weeks, but if they
had been present at some of the meetings
of the clubs formed by these same horse
men they would have changed their
minds very quickly. THE Sun reporter
visited Elkton to find out how some cf
the owners and jockeys were getting
along, and was agreeably surprised to see
them living in luxury. There are two
clubs, one in Elkton and one in Newark.
They both have about fifty members.
'The Elkton Social' is the name of one
and "Horseman's Club" the other. Jack
White is president of the latter and Col.
May of the former. In furnishing these
clubs money has not been considered.
