Either the Jockey Club will have to
open its doors and take in new blood
as the number of It's members regular
ly attending the meetings and taking an
active interest in the business, appears
rather to diminish than to increase-or
else 1t will be necessary to change the
rules of the institution, and to divide
the club into two sections, namely, one
consisting of those who are fully on the
establishment, and another composed of
those who belong to the club, not as
full fledged members, but as men en-
titled to voice in the administration
of race courses and of racing interests,
in fact, with everything connected with
the racing world.
To this latter section there should be
no difficulty Of any racing stable owner
of reputation and standing obtaining ad-
mission. There is something of the
kind at Paris, where, associated with the
Jockey Club, there is a society which
takes charge of all the formers ad-
ministration of racing matters.

Possessing these vast powers. from
which there is virtually no appeal, the
Jockey Club Is held by racing men to
be no longer qualified by its experience
or by its composition to fulfill its OBJ
legations with regard to the turf In n
satisfactory manner. There is an ever
growing number of owners OF racing
stables, some of them men OF unim-
peachable social position, and who have
been on the turf for twenty and thirty
years. who. it is felt. should have a
vctre in the administration of the rae
ing affairs of the United Kingdom, now
monopolized by the Jockey Club. or
rather, by those Of the triumvirate, who,
under the name Of Stewards" act as
the executive committee of the club.

that Lord Rothschild. the head of the

being member Of the House of Lords
and Of the Kings privy council. should
likewise be the lord lieutenant of the

over every other parsonage in the
county, no matter what his rank in the
nobility or how lofty his official dignity.
The lord lieutenant is, in fact. the chief
representative OF the sovereign In the

to yield to him the pas" not only on
official occasions. but at all social af-
fairs. He is, ex oflcio, the chief OF the

fact that some of them had the backing
of no less parsonage than the King.
A great deal Of bad feeling has resulted,
not only in the club itself, but in racing
circles. where a radical reorganization
of the club is loudly and bitterly de-

FREE LIBRARY
NOT A BURDEN.

The statement of the Board Of Ed
ucation in reference to the expense OF
the free library has caused much dis
cuSsion.
Those interested in the free library
object to the statement that it Is
burden on the board.
Members of the Board of Education
made the statement that the free
library had cost that body $4,000
without it receiving any increase in
appropriation. Those interested in
the free library say that the law pro-
viding for the library made it incum-
bent upon City Council to grant the
board an additional appropriation Of
$1,000, and this was made. The ap.
preparation. OF course. increased the
amount received by The board that
much and in addition it has received
a five per cent increase on the amount
each year.
The free library has therefore not
cost the Board Of Education anything
and the amount paid for it has come
out of City Council. In other words,
it is claimed that the Board OF Edu-
cation is receiving just as much money
now for school purpose, exclusive of
the fund given each year to the
free library-as it would had the free
library never been established.
This year the board received over
$40, 900 for school purposes had $780,
600 for new buildings. Next year
board will receive about $50. 900 for
school purposes and $4,000 for new
buildings. This makes total of over
$50, 900.

MEATS TAKE
ANOTHER JUMP

The recent advances iu the price
OF beef is causing the retail meat
dealers of this city much annos-
ance and II the price continues to
advance, many dealers who have
no capital, will be compelled TO go
out Of business.
A prominent meat dealer stated
to-day that at the present prices
there IS DO prof! Nhateysr for the
retailer. During the past week he
said pork has gone up from =, 10
4 cents pound.
Yesterday live cattle were again
quoted 10 cents per hundred weight
higher in Chicago than the day be-
fore, this being the second advance
Of The kind this week. The local
wholesale price of dressed meat
will be put up at least 10 II cents
on this account according to repre-.
sentatlvcs OF Swift L. Co.
Besides the advance in prices
the retailers also have to suffer Il
loss in weight on box meats. Not
withstanding the TACT that the box
meats lose weis ht by the time they
reach here from Chicago and West
ern points, the retail dealers have
TO pay or the weight stamped ou
the boxes before they are shipped.
The consumption OF beef 10 this
city during the past 10 days has
fallen off at least 10 per cent.
The situation ir Philadelphia au d
other eastern cities is Just as SER
ious aud many OF the small dealers
in Philadelphia have had TO 70 out
ol business during the wceX.

follows:

Philadelphia, assembled to discuss

directed that the following facts
and resolutions be set forth:
"Whcreas. The Western houses

meats in Philadelphia, and the
tactics they pusuc are calculated to
force all competition out OF the field

Whereas, The said houses do

tlonately to any actual scarcity,
thus making the retail selling prices
50 high that consumers refuse 10
buy meats: and
Whereas, The said houses do not
allow proper weight for shrinkage Of
packed meats in transportation from
the west but make the Philadelphia
retail dealers by as per branded
weight on boxes. barrels, etc. which
is far greater in pounds than the
actual weight here: and
Whereas, The fresh meats here by

are nearly always short several pounds
