was made hp of representative financial net)

aions reached were Unanimous and will pa

The plan agreed On contemplates th Issue

matic Increase Of credit nutes under certain
conditions: a further isxue of credit note

-Doesn't Itlook to you like the two rival

was the question put to Mr Cells.
"Well I don't know about that" replied
the turf magnate. It they do not get togeth-
er they are likely- to get further apart he
added significantly.1 ':
John Hachmelster general manager of the
Douglass Park Jockey ciub was present
when Mr. Cells was being Interviewed and
upon being asked the question as to whether
he thought the American Turf assectasioB
and ths Western Jockey club would be
merged Into one offered opinion that he
thought this would be done but that he did
not know how soon It would be. He merely
said that the consolidation ef the bodies
seemed to be the only logical result. From
all that can be learned there Is every rea-
son th believe that the two big turf bodies
wlU be consolidated' before the and of the
