that the members OF the French Jockey
club had agreed on the terms OF the bar
TO foreign trainers and jockeys. which
means American trainers and Jockeys, the
agreement having been reached promptly
upon the receipt in France OF the news

that with the recollection OF the governor

New York was destroyed. The effect
that is feared by French racing officials

is that the closing OF the New York
race tracks will drive great numbers os
