Plan Agreed On for Control Of
amateur Meetings.

At q meeting OF the committee named By the
stewards of the National Steeplechase and Hunt
Association and the committee appointed by the
hunt clubs in this city yesterday the action Of the
stewards in appointing a hunts committee. COM
posed of nine members, elected annualiy-six by
the recognized hunt clubs and three by the stewards
of the National Steepechase and Hunt Associa-
tion-to have jurisdiction over and control Of all
questions connected with recognized hunt clubs and
amateur racing. subject 10 review, was unanimous
" accepted
The committee, TO until January Is, 1910. is
as follows: Redmond Stewart, s S. Rowland. Roy
Baker. H J. Morris, H 8 Page Charles Pfzer.
A J. A Devereux. Fletcher Harper ard West
moreland Davis
This puts an end to what appeared to be some
friction in steepechase circles concerning the con-
duct OF the hunt club and amateur race meeting
this coming season. The effort being made TO fos-
interest in thoroughbred racing in this way
has met with general approval, and now that
agreement has been reached and a sort Of govern
ing committee. na med horsemen of the opinion
that amateur meetings will be feature Of the
year in this branch OF sport
In all probability dates will be granted for
and two day meetings in such a way that the
jumpers may be campaigned at the least possible
expense TO owners over what may be amateur
circuit
In recent years interest in hunt club meetings
has been steadily growing, with ample op-
portunity for lovers Of the sport to see more pre-
tentious racing over the big tracks Several Of
the associations offered stakes and overnight
plechase races for hunters, and IN this way the
regulars became acquainted with the amateur side
Of the sport, and found IL their liking, even
though races Of that kind furnished q poor medium
for speculation. The hunt club meetings this year
Will be conducted strictly along sporting lines,
and better purses in all probability will be hung up.
There are some forty-hve hunt clubs in the East
and no less than thirty-one were represented at
the original conference held here early in the WIN
