ENTERTAINING GOSSIP FROM NEW YORK. New York. November 20. — W. P. Frazer. representing the Canadian Racing Associations, was here yesterday for tin- purpose of discussing the advisability of passing a general rule restraining twii-veaf-olds from starting in races in the early part of the vear. He met Mr. Belmont and the question was discussed in a tentative way. Senator Johnson N. Camden, of .the Kentucky State Racing Commission, will also be consulted on the question tiefore any definite conclusion is arrived •it The subject was put up to the Jockey Club i.v" Captain E. B. Cassatt last autumn. The Jockey Club officials believe it would be useless to make such a rule in the east, unless there was a geueral i;ile framed bv all turf governing bodies in this • oimtrv and Canada. The proposition is that no mo year-olns shall l e permitted to start in races niiii May or thereabouts. Samuel Ross went to the Gravesend track today to hiok over some of the yearling cull* from the Gilford K Cochran stable, which are on the market. It any are purchased they will probably be placed la .V- hands of H. G Bed well. The lmr-.es bought by Walter Jennings for A. K. Mioi.inher in England have not yet arrived here.
