As the bill was introduced and taken befene the own- mittee it enabled the Canadian SockeY Club to control all the clubs in the country, whether they affiliated with It or not.

Whether they will or not remainsto be seen. But a good deal of public in- terest attaches to the result of Tiles - day's caucus. The sum and substance of it is: -Mr White, of Shelhourne, presided, in the absence of Dr. Roome who had been detained by a snow blockade. But the speeches were all of a conciliatory nature, and it was given plainly to be understood. that if Mr, Greenway signifies the slighest inclination to meet the Dominion Govermnent half -way and so carry out the plain terms of the constitution, as laid doyen in the B.

Ample proof of this statement is found in the bitter and persistent attacks made upon the Nova Scotia baronet byhis opponents, and even by some professed Conservatives who probably tear that their schemes will meet with his disapproval.

Pringle and Seagram Write a Lengthy Letter on Its. ProvIstons, Which Is Read What Is Meant BY 4111111ation it Is Other Clubs -The 11111 to be IteprInted. Ottawa, March 2.-(Speciall-The committee stage on the jockey Club Dm was reached in the House this afternoon and it led to a pretty livelY diecuesion on the measure. Mr. Lister said he thought the bill should 130 reprinted so that all mem- tetre of the House could have an op- portunity of considering its provis:ons. Tbe discussion before the Private Bills Oemmatee, when the measure came up, was not very lengthy and there was not a full representation of the parties interested. The bill proposed to incotporate a. joint stocle compauy, to be called the Canadian Jockey Club, and stock was to be issued by the ecempany to certain amount, He. un- crstooti that a large majority of that leek would be held by geotlemeu who were promot'ng the measure, but Who were not acting in accord with the hawse Breeders' As.sociations through- out the country. The effect of the hill as It now stood would be to give vot- ing power to the stockholders instead oi: to tbe representatives of the differ- ent clubs. This provision would give the stockholders control of the manage- ment, instead of the affiliated clubs. Ile thought that every elou should have one vote on the board and. not give the control simply to stockholders. The principle of the bill was wrong. The jockey Club should not get these! powers as a joint stock company at all. Its powers should be simply that of a, elub evith the object of interesting breeders throughout the country in the better breeding of horses. Every club that joined this associa- tion should have a vote regardless of the question of stock. Under the bill, however, the stock was to govern anti the powere given were simply enor- mous. It would be within the power of this joint stock company to say that any horse that was found upon a non- aelliated track ehould be disbarred, and that it should not have the right to run upon any affiliated track. The intention was that these Jockey Club trillieles.Nesuh,alY1 ork and other States, and be the same as these of tthe result of the 13111 will be that any horde declared ineligible by this com- pany will be Ineligible in New York State or in any of the other States, acting with the company, which it is proposed now to incorporate. Regard- less altogether as to whether the horse Is properly disbarred or not, regardless altogether of whether the owner has done any thing that ought to disbar the horse; the mere fact of the horse having gone upon an unaffiliated track will be sufficient, if this company thinks proper to make that a rule, to disbar that horse and to prevent him geing upon.any track in Canada. or the United States not affiliated with this jockey Club. The result of that will be that this joint stock company can compel every track in Canada to affiliate with this company's track in Canada, and thus bring every track in Can - !tile under the control of this com- eeny.. That was not good legislation. It was simply unprecedented. He did not befleve that such legislation as proposed here coohl lee found ineany State or in any Province of this D minion. Be proceeded to read the fool -- lowing letter: "I have been following, with much in- tcrest the various phases the Cana- dian Jockey Club bill has talen d see with some alarm that it putot..ecinthel Private Bills Committee e esterday; true, In somewhat a modified form, but still In such sha.pe as to be a menace to horsemen generally, but more par- ticularly to racetrack owners the coun- try over.

"The great cry of those at its back is, On the Internet of racing these CO -days' meetings must be put a stop to.' I think almost quote William Hen- drie's words before the committee. With these ideas I am eutirely in sym, pathy. Now, this I underetand, is to be done by an insertion of certain words in the criminal code of 1892; so that plank is pulled from the platform. But still they do not see.m e_atisfied and ceneequently it muet be that more is desired.

This is distinctly wrong, since*, if they act in unison with the American jockey Club. all horses racing on such a track would be disqualified every- where. "I think it should be framed in such a way that any racetrack slaould have the privilege of corning into the asso- ciation,. and if they obey the rules, should remain members ba good stand- ing and should have a representative on the board who would have a voice in all that was done; each member of tbe board to have one vete and not have it regulated by the amount of stock held.

The Supreme Court Wednesday, in • a decision by Justice Williams, over- ruled all assignments of error in the case of H. H. Holmes, sentenced. to death for murdering Benj. F. Pietzel, ancl confirmed the judgment of the court below. The opinion says that no substantial error has been pointed. out, and. the evidence fully sustained the verdict. The papers in the case are in the • hands of Governor Hastings, who it is believed will fix an early day for the execution. Holmes leas lately been making preparations for the gallows, and, is said to have sent for a Catholic priest, who bas since visited him several times. A. remarkable case of con)* sag- acity has just been revealed. An Irish setter dog was drawing its master, Donald Eddy, an 11 -year -Old boy, on a hand sleigh over Red River, three miles below Winnipeg, when he ran into an air hole. The dog crawled out and, started away, but noticing, tbe boy witt not on the sleigh, returned to the air hole and dragged him un- conscious to the stulace. Seeing the boy helpless, the dog started to drag him hOme, 'when he was discovered by neighbors, who Caroled the lad to the house, where he was restor- ed to life. In the exeitenient the dog • was oveelooked. He took a bad cold • and died Tuesday. a. certain number el days. Now, the prohibition ot race tneetInze was strucle out at the sutegetiou or the Minister of Justice, who thought that if any such thing was to be dealt with It should be dealt with in the Crimin- al Code. The striking out of that clause was the first important ehange made in the bill. The other changes were to strictly limit the bill to those clubs who sought fit to et:elate, as to make it entirely voluntarily, and in re- gard to the irapoetant question that Mr, Lister 'mentioned, he called his at- tention to clause four, showing that it does give representation an the com- mittee to every club that affiliates. Mr. Lister -It gives representation but no vote. Mr. Tisdale -Yes; it gives a vote. Mr. 1.41stex•-Who is to elect a mem- ber on the Club Committee? Me. Tisdale -His owu clab. The Ciauve provides distinctly that every club that affiliates shall have one ercenber On the committee and 12 100 elutes affiliated every club would have a member on the club committee. If there are 50 clubs affiliate dthe club cemmittee Would have to be conumeed Of 50 members. Se far as Mr. Sea- gram was concerned, when he receiv- ed the circular some ten days beforr the meeting of -the eorranittee. he ask - el him by all means to be present, be- caus.e be agreed with everything Mr. Lister had said in regard to Mr. Sea- gram's eonneetion with racing. Con - bolting, he eaid that Mr. Seagram ob- jected to the compulsory clauses of the bill. He (Col. Tisdale) had written him this morning explaining that his views lied been sustained my the Pri- vate Bills Committee and that the horsemen who were there concedea the mint at once. As to the Horsebreed- ers' .a.ssociation, which, personally, he cared more about than the lacing as- sociation, that body was represented by the president and eectretary. These two gentlemen investigated the whole bill d eed with It in every palate - an a,gr ular. He was quite sure altio that if Mr. Pringle,- who was a high outlier- ity on racing, had bten preeent. he wt uld have be -en satisfied with the measure. The bill was nerrectly rale in all its provisions. Some el the Mis- apprehensions hae arisen because the newspapers had .overlooked the Pellet that each club joining would lis.ve representative on the Board of Direct- ors. Mr. Edgar was desirous to know whether or not this association Was a veluntary one. Was It entirely free to other racing aesoetations to Join. If it were so, then it was a domestic matter largely and he did not see why the House should interfere with it, Dr. Sproule said that evidently a number of important amendments had .•been made to the hill in committee and he thought no harm would be dote he delaying the mattcr. The rep- resentations of racing au:thin-Ales like Messrs. Seagram and Pringle should be fairly considered. Mr.. Tisdale said that he did not wish to press the bill to -day if there was a desire to have It reprinted. Mr. Martin asked for a reasonable delay in order that the bill might get fairly before the country. Mr. Hazen, chairman of the Pavate Bills Committee, said the object of the bill was that the Jockey Club should be in every respect a voluntary one, it$ rules binding only on such club ot clubs as voluntarily affiliated With it. The objects of the promoters was tc heep horse racing in Canada as re- spectable as it could poesibly be Mr. Casey raised the question of the eurisffiction of Parliament to deal with this matter. Mr. Dickey zeta he did not think there was any doubt about the juris- diction as the hill applied to the whole of Canada. He thought the bill was de- seeving of more consideration. It scent- ed to him that the mode in wl,Vit af- filiation wits to take place was Indeft- rite and the status of the proposed club was not definite either.
