A RECESS AT KINLOCH. Bacing at Kinlock has been discontinued temporarily, the announcement being made that it will be resumed next week. This is no doubt mainly due to the failure of the etewardB of the Western Jcckey Club to restore to racing privileges the list of owners desired by the Kin-loch officials. Their action in this respect was certainly surprising in view of the general impression that their course in admitting a big list of owners to Western Jockey Club privi leges was due to a desire to aid Kinlock. As it is the Kinlock people are no better off in respect to horses than they were last week, and they have stopped racing awaiting the decision of the courts in the cases now pending affecting Del-mar. As to how the action of the Western Jockey Club is viewed in St. Louis the Bepublic of yesterday says: "Whie nearly forty horsemen, who dsstrted a lucerative field at Delmar a month ago and are now stabled at Kinlocb, were denied reinstatement by the Western Jockey Club at its monthly meeting, John B. B-attoo, who has kept on Bteadily racing at Delmar, an unrecognized course, was taken unconditionally into the fold by the same body. Bratton signalized his reinstatement by winning two purses at Delmar and ,100 in bete. "To add to the ridiculous side of the whole matter, Fucino, the only new entry at Kinloch yesterday, who was reinstated, was denied the right to start by Judge Murphy upon the latter discovering that the geldings entry had been refused at New Orleans last winter by Judge Bees. Thus of all the fresh entries at Kinloch published yesterday morning not a single animal was able to start. "At the same time that Bratton was reinstated a lot of owners, trainers and j ckeys from the Canadian and Newport met tir gs were also replaced in good standirg. Applications from ! .

Continued from First Page. tke onsers Btabled at Kinloch wire all turned dews, audmany horsemen who have been living from band to mouth lately in the hope of rein-etatraaect are tkaa placed in a very awkward position. vGreat disappointment was felt by the Einloch management orer the unexpected action of the Jockey Club, and they are at a loss to understand the motives of the Chicago body. Judge Joseph Mnrpby, wbo worked hard to get tha horsemen reinstated, was much astonished over the turn of affaire, and stated that he thought Kinloch had been treated very badly. " When I was in Chicago last week, be said, 1 went to the offices of the. Western Jocky Clab with President Bush of tha New Orleans sparse. Secretary Nathanaon of Harlem and Montgomery of Memphis. We had a short con saltation with Mr. Enhl there, acd all three promised to vote for the reinstatement of the horses stebled here. Mr. Perkins of Latonia had ale premised to vote in the affirmative. This made four out of the six votes in the Jockey Club, and I received positive assurances of soccers. These premises seem to hava been disregarded, however, and I find but two owners have been replaced in good standing, while a lot of others, stabled elsewhere and that can do this mooting no good, have been reinstated without prejudice. " Kinloch has been treated very shabbily by the Western Jcckey Club in this matter, and we have received a bad deal from that body all roand. No assistance has been given ub other than permission to give 00 purses, and I can aot understand the matter at all. There is great disappointment among the horsemen hero oyer the matter. "The same sentiments prevailed among the horsemen. When the first hopes of reinstatement were held out, maoy horsemen deserted Delmar and stabled at Einloch, thinking that action would be taken on their cases immadi-ately. As they will be in rather an unpleasant situation if they return to Turf Cong -ess tracks, they are in anything but a pleasant frame of mind over the matter. "The whole question Beems to hinge on Kin-lochs ability to take care of itself. Had Del-mar been closed, thus mnking Kinloch all powerful bore, it could certainly have had anything It wished at the hands of the Jockey Club. As It seemed to bs getting the wortt of the war, however, and was not, consequently, an important factor in the racing situaion at large, the Western Jockey Club seems to have decided to let the track look out for itself. "Holding back the question of reinstatement until an injunction was issued against the Del-star coarse, and then refusing to reinstate the horsemen stabled at Kinloch when it found the j i Delmar injunction was disregarded, teems to indicate that the Western Jockey Club has kept well posted on the local situation, and haB used the Kinloch track as a cats paw to be i made much of if it proved a factor hre, and to j be left to its own devices if it got the worst of the local fight."
