BAR TRAINERS AND JOCKEYS.
Members of Horsemen's Protect
i've AssOcintiOn.


New York, Jan. S.-At a meeting of the
directors of the Horsemen's Protective As
sociation, held to-day in this city, l.. l..
Garside was elected secretary and Matthew
ByrneS was elected a director. Several
designations were rendered and accepted
as a result of the following resolution,
which was adopted:
Resolved, That hereafter no trainer or
jockey. unless a horseowner, shall be eli
gible to membership in the Horsemen's
Protective Association
Another resolution. which was adopted,
seems to indicate that the differences be-
tween the Protective Association and the
Jockey Club have been adjusted. 1t reads:
Resolved, That in the amended articles
of Incorporation about to be filed with the
secretary of state the purpose Tor which
this association was organized shall be
declared TO be as follows: The fostering
of the interests of the owners and breed
ers of thoroughbred horses, by the fur-
therance of such reasonable measures as
may tend to promote the general welfare
and the encouragement of more friendly
relations among members through more
enlarged mutual business interests without
conflicting with the reasonable rules OF
racing. as promulgated by the Jockey
Club. the Western Turf congress or any
other duly legaliZed body. created for the
supervision of racing and the advancement
OF its best interests"
Then follow the bylaws of the organiZa-
ton. which have been revised principally
because of the new resolution which eX-
cludes jockeys and trainers. The election
of a president was deferred until the next
meeting. Jockey Frederick Littletield. who
has been employed by A. II. and ID. H.:
Morris for many years. not only resigned
from the Horsemen's Protective Associa-
ton, but also gave up his position: Crit
icism because of his connection. with the
association is said to be at the bottom of
his reason for the action.
