The regular winter meeting OF the Crescent
City Jockey Club which has been running
without cessation since last Thanksgiving
Day. will end on Saturday, but there viii be
another week OF racing at the New orleans
Fair Grounds under the auspices OF the
Louisiana Jockey Club as usual. In times
past this meeting has concluded the winter
programme at New Orleans but the fact that
the new City Park track has cut into the game
may resu; In prolonging or the sport at the
Fair Grounds until April 10 when City Park 8
meeting will be brought to an end. II any
such action ia taken. however. there may be
more trouble in store for the Western Jockey
Club. as the Memphis track threatens to with
draw It's support from tho latter organization !
in such an event Meanwhile the success
or failure OF the rival turf bodies in the West /
seems to depend almost wholly ON the attitude /
OF the authorities IN the States or Illinois /
and Missouri who are still threatening TO close /
up the racet, acks In St Louis, Kansas city /
and Chicago. With no racing in these cities,
there would not be much loft ior Corrlsan ,
