(Bpecial to The Evening World.) NEW ORLEANS, Dec, 12.~The writer of this column went out to the new of the New Orleans Jockey Club j turns a bit sharp, a defect, however, Which is overcome by the length of the stretches A chyte at the head of the cours stretch ts built for mile-and-a: uarter | yesterday, Much has oeen sald and | rung written about this new association and | ‘Tho stables are completed, and are a new course, Many have come to the conclusion that the association |s a myth, and that the track existed only on paper, Nothing ts further from the truth, The New Orleans Jockey Club exists in reality, and it owns one of the prettlest and most complete plants it has ever been the fortune of the writer to Inspect, It is a matter of wonder why the West- ern Jockoy Club refused dates to the essoclation, which certainly has built a/ race course that ts u credit to New Or- | leans, ‘The bulldinga are not yet com- pleted, but the track needs only a few finishing touches, As a matter of fact, horses were worked over it yesterday. Tn order that New Yorkers may un- derstand how this plant will look when finished, they have only to imagine that the Brighton Beach nd stand has been transplanted, Put beside this the paddock at Jamaica on a smaller scale, but same model, Place there also the | Jamaica buildings used as jockey rooms and Secretary's headquarters, only more complete and improved. This will give an adequate idea of the layout of the new course. This grand stand of the New Orleans Jockey Club rises higher in front than that at Brighton, and the promenade at the top plain in siyle but complete and come fortable, Some of them are already coupled. There does not seem a shadow of @ doubt that this course could be completed and in working order within amonth, This being so, it isa bit difMeult to understand why the Western Jockey Club should have turned down such @ plant—a plant which eclipses in every sense of the word that of the | Crescent City Jockey Club, It Jooks very / much as if the New Orleans Jockey | Club had been given much the Worst of this deal, and it rather shaty | ters one's faith in the Western Jockey Club as a fair governing body, The argument bas been advanced that |No transportation could have been had to the ccurse, even if the track were completed by the time for the beginning of the projected meating, Jan. 21. This argument falls to the ground, for there is a raflroad not a stono’s throw from the grand stand which could transport |Pacegvers to the course in ten pinion More than that, trolley poles ha’ | ready been erected on the road Just €0 | the north of the course Fature Plans Un Just what the New Orleans Jockey Club proposes doing no one knows.
