There was not ■ quo rum. so no actual ruling was made, but the following was given out : •Replying i" Inquiries about the proposed meet ing at Marlboro, at which steetdechaslng is advertised, Henry .1. Morris, honorary secretary of tin-National Steeplechase and Hunt Asociatlou, -aid We have had no application for recognition as yet. ami unless such application was received and granted, the meeting would necessarily come under the rules as an unrecognised one, so I presume some application will be s,„,u received. As i.. what ac- i oar iio.ir.l would take, 1 cannot say, but as recog nition had been duly granted the meeting of the i.uin-iowu Jockey club from April 1 to April 17 for jumping races there, it would seem u mistake to liave a conflicting meeting so near by."
