Men high in the council Of the Jockey
club made positive enial last night Of the
report IN circulation AZ Aqueduct yesterday
that the bookmakers' organization, the
Metropolitan Turf Association. would eventu-
ally take control OF the speculation In the
Big ring At ell Of the tracks, that the Nets
would increase their membership list so
that all the layers now doing business would
be included in the organization Such q move
as this would be In direct opposition 10 the
present policy OF the track owners, who do
not recognize anybody Ia the speculative
end OF the game. The whole business OF
laying and playing the races Is matter
Involving individuals who receive no special
privileges from the various racing assO-
Citations. To recognize any Organi zaiton
banded together Tor the sole purpose OF MAX
Ing books on the races " oud moi be in accord
Ance With the plans Of those IN control OF the
turf IN the state Of New York
The Nets have only hfty members IN the
big ring at present, while there arc siNty-five
independent LAYERS doing business on an
edusl plane with them, The Nets have no
special privilege aud are subject 10 the rules
of the ring as laid down by John G., Cayanagh.

plete satisfaction on the part Of the public
with this new order Of AFFAIRS ever since, so

step backward, eay those who are watc ching
the situation closely, aud the Jockey club Is
not adopting any such narrow policy.
when Jubilee Won the haudcap at seven
iurlonRs yesterday many turf experts eX-
pressed The opinion that he would class we'll
with all Of the crack three-y year-olds this
season with the exception OF the great
Colin. Jubilee won several fine races at
Beunings, but his real vorh was not realized
until he trimmed the fast Pe-sara fOur-year-
