j ! AS TO MEWPOT6T. Manager Frank Fowler of the Queen City Jockey Club does not take kindly to the racing program recently outlined by Mr. W. O. Parmer and, according to the Cincinnati Commercial- Tribune, delivered hi viows as follows Thursday: "I notice that some one has kindly announced just what the Newport track will do in the future. You can say for me and make it as Btrong aB you please that when it comes to selecting dates for the Newport track I am tho one who will do it. Ne wport will open when it gets ready, and conflict with whichever track it pleases be it Latonia or Louisville. Our track occupies an independent position, and no matter whether the turf situation is altered or not we will hold a spring meeting and consult nobodys interests but our own. I am thankful to the gentleman for tho consideration he has shown Newport, but aB for the circuit he has framed up, why, it doesnt go for me. "Whether we will hold a fall meeting or not depends upon what iB going to bo done between the turf factions. The Turf CongresB was sap posed to hold a meeting last week, but there was no call issued. "It is possible that only St. Louis will be taken into the fold of the Western Jockey Club while the rest of the Turf Congress will be allowed to shift for itBolf. I except Nashville, which I hoar is trying hard to break in. That doesnt worry me a particle. As I said before, we can take care of ourselves and will hold a meeting next spring no matter which way the cat jumps. " I am glad to see that Louisville will hold a meeting over the Douglass track, for it will give v some of the horsemen who came this way on somebody elses say so not mine a chance to earn a little winter oats. "
