HORSES ARE TO BE
 ALLOWED TO ENTER

Memphis. Tenn, March 2S.-A special meeting of the board of stewards of the Western Jockey club was held here late today. All of the members except Richard Fitzgerald were in attendance.
 The following resolution was adopted
 'Resolyed That horses entered in the new Memphis Jockey club stakes, now closed, be permitted to fill such engage ments, and that such horses also be per- mtted to race in purse events at the coming race meeting of said club"
 This action relieves the Memphis track of an embarrassing situation. Several prominent owners who are identified with the recently formed American Jockey club have for year wintered their stables here. Among these are Capt. S. s. Brown O Pittsburgh and P w. Dunne of Chi cago. Under the outlaw rule of the Vest ern Jockey club, these horses were barred from participating in other than stake races, for which they were entered before the American Jockey club was organized.
 President Montgomery of the local rac- ing association requested that the stew ards of the Western Jockey club take action. and relieve the local track of the alternative of refusing such entries in purse events.
 It was said today that President Busch of the Crescent City Jockey club, would ask for an extension of dates at New Orleans, in order to compete with the Corrigan track. It was learned from q reliable source that this question was not brought up at today's session. The Memphis Jockey clubs spring meeting will begin next Monday.
 The board granted the following li- censes:
 Trainers: A. c. Blakely; Benjamin Henne, H. M. Rogers; w. A. Watkins; E. R. West; William c. Wise.
 Jockeys: Joseph Battiste; Frank IT Bliss; Richard Head; Charles Johnson John Morris; l.. A. Munroe; George Oi- ney.
 Apprentices: Frank King; William Manders.
