| OF the Western Jockey Club. ST. Louis.
rev racing organization. the Union Jock
ey Club. was denied racing dates for tn.
season OF 1891
As result war was practically Dc
clared. and 1t is stated that the new clut
will vote to r',n III opposition to tho reg:I.
lar Jockey club tracks.
Like st. Louis. the Hot Springs clut
got no satisfaction from the Board oil
Stewards. their application for dates fol
the coming season being dismissed "be-
cause Of III" unsatisfactory and incom.
plete condition of the racing plant u,
this time
At the same time. tho application o!
the new local racing body known as the
Jackson Park Jockey Club was denied
fatty. 1t is presumed that TIE members OF
this affair that went before the board
could show nothing OF satisfactory ma.
ture IN the way of a plant or financial
backing and rs a result no satisfaction
was secured from the board.
The Worth track did not apply for sum-
ner dates and. therefore. the Chicago
situation was smoothed over without trou-
bic. outside of what happened to the APP
pl1sntion Of the Jackson Park CLUB.
fOrty-five days CT actual racing, as gainst
forty-seven for Hawthorne and forty-four
Tor the Harlem course. The latter organ
fzation. however, secures the more ad-
vantageous time.
KANSAS CITY DATES
Kansas City got dates. but not exactly
what 1t asked for. The new track there.
operated under the control of Ed Corri-
gan. secures a summer meeting from June
Z July :; inclusive, and fall season
peared TO be satisfactory to the delegates.
The warlike attitude to the ST. LOUIS
aggregation. headsd by Messrs. Duffy and
was carried to them at the close of the
meetings that they had been turned down.
They are located at the Annex and were
at dinner shortly after the. Board Of
knew nothing OF the action that had been
taken.
They stared blankly at each other, and
there was a hasty consultation. A little
Mr.. Duffy said:
This will mean that We will have to
operate this plant on an independent basis.
AND we do d not care What T. means to the
barrel Of money into our plant. and do
not see why We should not operate and
split up at least sixty days Of the time
with the Cella-Tilles-Adler syndicate.
WILL FIGHT THE CLUE.
There are plenty of good horsemen
end raft Of horses that We can COM
mand. and there may be some opposition
to the Jockey club right here in Chicago.
But Of that do not care to speak.
Il think we showed the Jockey Club
enough in the way. Of an outlay to grant
better attention. Now that we are in the
game We will have to stay in 1t and have
to make a strong attempt TO ger cur
money out Of the plant What said be-
fore came to Chicago about the plant
in St Louis is still my opinion We will
get tho patronage"
The Hot Springs delegation took things

The st. Louis delegation was made up Of
seven. with Messrs. Carnody and Duffy in

According to one of the stewards Of the
board, there was absolutely no friction at

gested that the matter had been cut and
