SHREWD MOVE OF
GRAND CIRCUIT STEWARDS

NEW YORK, February I6.-Following
close on the heels Of the biennial congress
of the National Trottlng Association. the
stewards Of the grand circuit held n secret
meeting at the Hoffman House The fact
that 1t had been called so soon after the
adjournment Of the congress which ousted
from the board Of review four of the stew
ards of the grand circuit. besides refusing
the demands of that organization for rae
ing stewards of It's own selection, led to
the belief in some quarters that the big
circuit might break away from the ma
uonal association, and either Join the
American or go it alone as an independ-
ent body. No such action was taken APP
parenty unruffied the grand circuit ac-
ceptoj the situation.
Acting under the new rule OF the Ma
tional code which authorizes each member
Of a regularly formed circuit to recon-
mend not less than two persons for ap-
poiutmcnt by the National as racing stew
ards of the circuit, the conference scored
q hit on the National in very. clever style
Everybody understood that the purpose of
the rule, as framed by the congress, was
to force the twelve tracks in the grand
circuit to nominate not less than twenty
four men, from whom the board of review
might choose the five racing stewards pro-
vided for by the rules.
But the grand circuit forces agreed that
each track should name five instead Of
only two men for the positions and that
each track should name the same five
When the board OF review comes to eXer
else It's jealousy guarded prerogative of
selection aud vote there Will thus be only
five names from which to select the five
racing stewards and after all, the Ma
tional will have no more voice in their Sc
lection than If the grand circuit had been
given free hand under the rules.
The men agreed upon Were Senator Hor
nee White, Col. " Perry Taylor, II. n.
