JOCKEY CLUE MEETING ON JANUARY 12. Date Set for Annual Session at Which Rules Will Be Revised New York Racing Gossip. New York, December 21. On January 12 racing folk will know just what rues they will have to recognize, when racing horses in the east. That is the day set for the annual meeting of the Jockey Club, when the proposed changes of the rules committee will be discussed and passed upon. It is not believed that all the members of the Jockey Club will be present, but there will be sufficient votes to take action. The general impression was that the stewards only would adopt or reject- the changes suggested by the committee. Such is not the case. The members of the Jockey Club are the censors although the views of the stewards practically dominate in such matters. It is more than probable that all the proposed amendments and extractions from the old rules will pass as published, as the officers of the Jockey Club arc thoroughly versed in the matter. Unless there are some decided grounds for a change in any of the clauses from those published in the Racing Calendar, the book will be sent to press as it stands immediately after the meeting. Harvey McKenna, well-known in racing circles, went direct from Baltimore to Tijuana. That he is satisfied witli the sport there is gleaned from his corresponding friends in this city. "The best proof that he likes it is the fact that he displays no Intention of coming back here," was the remark of one of his colleagues. Billy Hayes has decided to move south in the direction of New Orleans next week. "They have the good horses and good riders there," said he, "and that is incentive enough to send any man to the railroad tracks." II. D. Brown is expected in the city today. He has been in New Orleans for the past few days. Tom llealey has one of the Wilson yearlings on the sick list at Belmont Park.
