deed. the whole system of racing is ul-
timately to be organized after the east
ern plan. There Is to be q central con-
ironing body corresponding to our Jock
ey Club, which will exercise supervisory
authority and issue licenses to conduct
meetings. The time will come when dis
oped1ence to the authority of this body
Will be punished by outlawry just as dis
obedience to the Jockey club's mandates
Is punished nj this part of the country.
The new syndicate has done away with
the Corrigan-Burns and Waterhouse
scheme of taking all tn richest fruit. The
races will me SO arranged that every man
has a chance. Four a day for the COM
ing winters programme will be fixed
ahead. and the other two will be left
open to be arranged from week to week
as the needs of the meeting require. This
scheme gives the programme plenty of
elasticity. The directors and investors
can not under the rules Of their organiza-
ton make more han a 5 per cent profit
on their holdings. With the earnings
above the 5 per cent und will be created
to reward breeders and encourage them
too send good horses to the Ingleside and
Tanforan races. An entirely new mana
gerial staff will be engaged, n 1t is part
of Prince Pooniatowski's business in the
east to secure competent men to fill the
important places. Charles II. Pettingill,
one of the Jockey clubs judges, will Of
hciate In the same capacity at Ingleside
and Tanforan. The prince has not decid-
ed as yet upon a starter. The old Cali
fornia man, ]. s. Ferguson. can't go back
because of ill-health. A new man has to
be got. The prince has received a num-
Der or suggestions as to men, but will
take his time about making a selection.
You have heard a lot about tn edecay
OF the negro from the racetrack. 1t Is
true. He is vanishing from the stable
paddock. and ring. He would not be
- inimitable Col. Jack
Chinn had imitators, say the st. Louis
Republic. Chinn is a southerner of the
old school. He treats the negro accord
ing to the time-honored method of his
kind. He always has them around him,
and he always has his whiplash singing
about them. But they worship him. The
otherother day a little came grim
ming to Chinn. his eyes dancing with de-
light and his face split across.
How do, Marse Jack: How do, sub ~
cried the little fellow. "Ah certin is glad
to see you. suh."
Hello. Fox said Chinn. 1T have not
seen you since that day I cut your spnie
nj two at Garfield park.
The body had a spasm of delight.
"Lawdy. Mistah Chinn,' he cried. be-
tween outlaws, dat war a fearful whup.
All dom sweah All never would forget it
ter yeh, Marse Jack. All, done taut All
was cut clean from the boss. You see,
All was mighty good boy for a bit, and
yeh war slashin" dem kid all about de
track, n All, We're braggin' yeh never
dare cut me. Well, dat day All got gay,
an you kotch me: de boys all gimme de
laf, an say, oh. no. Fox. he dar not cut
yeh. He done overlook yeh, Fox All
swear, sub, All can't sit comfutable yit
when I t'ink of dat we're slash We lone
gimmme." And the boy went away
weeping with laughter. delighted to have
the honor Of being whipped by Jack
Chinn
He was Fox, who was a good rider in
the early ZOOS and who came to st. Louis
to try again under Chinn. He seemed to
think that he had been done a great fav-
or when he had been punished by the
hand Of Jack Chinn. Col. Chinn always
has a brigade Of negroes assisting him In
his work, and his friends on the northern
turf term him a friend of the downtrod-
den race. The other day some one step
ped ri and asked him why he wore "that
badge a confederate button.
WELL" said Chinn, ito show that I
draw no pension from my country: that I
make my own living. Then, because no
negro on earth con wear one like it,.
