Keene, II. K. Knapp, Andrew Miller, F. K. Sturgis and J. II. Bradford, and Chairman August Belmont presiding, a resolution was passed instructing the secretary to notify all of the jockey clubs racing under the jurisdiction of the Jockey Club, that the further entries of horses in which Charles E. Durnell was interested, should be refused. No announcement was made after the meeting adjourned wliy this action was taken. It is rumored in some quarters that the Jockey Club may release jockey E. Dugan under the rules of racing from Durnell, and should this step be taken it is learned from the same sources that he will ride next year for Harry Payne Whitney. The report of S. S. Howland, who represented the Jockey Club in the stewards stand at Benning, was received, read and approved. The report of Henry J. Morris, who was the Jockey Club steward at Pimlico, was also read, and the stewards indefinitely suspended .jockeys Diggins and Englander.
