long conference on the clubhouse lawn at
Belmont Park yesterday in regard to the
edict of the Westchester Racing ASsocia-
ton that hereafter the betting ring shall
be open to all reputable layers of odds.
The result of the conference was not made
public but there is little reason to believe
that Mr. Wheelock's arguments on behalf
of his association will lead the manage
ment to reconsider its determination to
present. 1t is understood. only a sufficient
number of outsiders will be invited into
the big ring to make up the daily quota
of eighty bOokmakers which the associa-
ton demands. Five non-members Joined the
ring yesterday and did business within the
erStWhile charmed circle.
