GYMNASIUM SEASON AT HAND.
Y. VI. c. 4. Athletes 40 Start Winter
Training-BfbIe Glasses Open.

The first part Of this week is filed with
important dates for the Young Mems
Christian Association. The first event of
interest to the members and to all ath-
letic aud sporting men of the city. is the
opening Of the gymnasium classes to-
morrow. AS q preliminary to that the
first gymnasium meeting will be held
this afternoon when an address will be
delivered by Walter NJ. Chandler, a Wall
street lawyer, on "CommerciaEsm, the
nations peril" As prelude to the ad-
dress, the Amphion GIee Club will give
a concert in the lobby Of the association
building at o'clock.
In contrast TO the opening Of the gym
nastic department and the resultant at
traction for men interested in physical
culture Is the opening Of the Bible study
classes Tuesday evening. These classes
have become one of the most important
departments of the association, and have
caused the organization of the Associa-
tion School for Christian Training with
an enrolment Of more than eight hun
dred men. The course is graded so as to
cover the entire Bible within four years
time, and also has special classes for
mission study. Social teas and suppers
are features Of no little account also in
this department.

Ever since the game shifted from the
Spa, it has been a notorious fact that
certain horses which on public form ap-
peared to be sure winners. failed to land

riders had the leg up, has been freely
commented on, but the stewards appar-
entity took no action II developed this
afternoon. however, that for two weeks

Speaking of the matter this afternoon
a steward Of the Jockey Club said:
We have the goods on some of these
men, but making public what they have
done would not serve to purify the sport.
There has been so many attacks made on

he has lost money in maintaining his
great racing establishment is undoubt-
edly correct For Sysonby cost close 70
