HORSE ASSOCIATION MEETS LEXINGTON, Ky., September 21. At the semi-annual meeting of members of the Thoroughbred Horse Association, which was held Wednesday night in the Palm room of the Phoenix Hotel, the following committees were appointed to represent the association at the winter race meetings: New Orleans E. R. Bradley, Robert A. Smith and William Woodard. Havana J. H. Moody, William Feuchter and M. Goldblatt. Tijuana C. B. Irwin, W. H. Hoag and Hal Farrell. Several matters of general interest to horsemen were discussed. A vote of thanks to Colonel John P. Sullivan of New Orleans for his interest and efforts in behalf of racing was given. After the adjournment of the membership meeting there was a meeting of the board of directors at which several applications for membership were passed upon and at which the officers of the association were authorized to take steps to ascertain names of horsemen who claim to have suffered loss because of the failure of Messrs. G. D. Bryan and James OHara to live up to an agreement they made with the Thoroughbred Association at New Orleans last winter relative to the amount of purses to be given at the race meeting at Mexico City and to compile the amounts claimed by horsemen to have been lost by them because of that failure with a view to instituting legal proceedings for its recovery to the claimants.
