NEW YORK. Dec. 1 -t Special. )-8everaI Jockey prominent during tn pant Mason that haa Just closed will have difficulty in getting down to riding weight next year. If at all. Anion? these are Willie Darin, who under contract to Sydney Paget during the eastern season and did considerable ndlng for August Belmont; Frankle O'KcJ. who rode for Newton Bennington and Feed n-.irlew and who piloted Roeeben In nearly hII his memorable victories, and finished econd on the list of winning jockeys for the season; Arthur Redfern. who hears the reputation Of being the best horseman among recent American Jockeys; Bhnw. I.yne. J. Martin and others. According to reports. Willie Knapp. the little western Jockey, who was one of the remarkable sensations of the year, has also been taking n weight rapidly during the latter part of ih season and may have difficulty keeping down to the required weight. It can lo be stated upon the best of nu ihority that when the time rolls around for the stewards of the Jockey club to deal out the riding licenses for 190; there Is a strong likelihood that at least three or four prom inent riders will not iind tiielr names on the list. That the stewards were dissatisfied with the riding of a number of Joekev On ring the season Just closed there can be no doubt, but the proving of dishonest acts upon the tart of Jockeys Is a serious propo sition. When It comes to granting license It t within the power of the stewards to simply omit certain names In the list with out stating -iiason.-. This, It is sold on t'io veY highest authority, will be the course pursued. Reeoitli of the Jorkfil.

The Washington Park Mub greatest event lnce it inauguration ha been tha American Derby, which I on of the extremely few great American turf classic known to Englih turfmen. The effort mad by the club In 18U to encour age International racing are largely re sponsible for the fame of tha event abroad. In that: year the Duke or Beaufort sent a 'tarter to tb post In Strath rose, ehlppln Mm all the way from England to run In this rare. Btrathrose waa beaten. In recent year uch prominent American turfmen a August Belmont, the late Wil liam, C. Whitney, James R. Keene, Clar ence II. Mackav, H. P. Whitney. II. D. puryea, Lou I V.

From a financial a well a sporting point of view lh ( retirement of the Washington Park club will be a serious blow to those inter ested la the sport of king, the club lnc lf4 having distributed to turfmen nearly t260.0tfl each year at Its twenty-five day meeting. Its first president waa General Phillip Sberidaa. wh was succeeded by Oeorge Henry Wheeler, a popular and successful cilia of Chicago. Since Mr. Wheeler death the affairs of the club have ber managed by the following list of officials Lawrence A. Toung. president; Witn J.

The less wealthy class of horse owners are about to he catered to In a way such as they have long desired. A smaller cir cuit of running meetings Is gradually be ing established under Jockey club auspices, which will . afford these lovers of the thoroughbred an opportunity to race their horses without continually having to come In contact with the higher class animals owned by the more wealthy patrons of the turf. Fore some time past it has been a hard matter for owners possessed of moderate racers to find a spot where these might be raced with any prospect of paying their feed bills. More especially has this been the case since the Influx of western horse owners, owing to the unsettled state of the western turf, and the consequent paucity of western meetings. The fields of horses on the New Tork circuit have been crowded to overflowing, making the matter of winning races a task even more difficult than In former years. The class of these horses has moreover Improved In a like ratio. Even to win a cheap selling race nowadays It Is necessary to own a fairly valuable horse. And since the owner of moderate means can III afford to risk the chance of the horse being taken away from him by a run up. unless he Is a gambler, he finds his liurse a drag on the market. The majority of the rlaces enumerated propose running two meetings In each year of fifteen days each, giving a total approxi mately of mo racing days.

News from Paris to the effect that the Automobile club of Franco has decided In favor of holding several races next sum mer, makes It seem possible that the club may decide not to return the Vamterbllt cup. Formerly the French club declared Itself In favor' of only one race during the year. It is a settled fact that If detnturallred alcohol la put on the free list, by congress this term that the orgunded engineers of the leensed factories will begin experiments In their laboratories to develop an engine to use It na fuel.

Mr. Webb Jav. the noted driver and mien manager, has fully recovered from the injuries received the past summer In a eastern race and Is now In charge of the Chicago branch of the White company. Mr. Jay haa many friends among the au- tomobtllsts here In Omaha a he has been out this way a number of tunes encn season. Some of the steamer owners In this city Mr. BraniMs. Mr. Nash Mr. C. H. Brown have had Mr. Jay out In their cars and his remarks ble knowhiege of the machine and skill In handling same alwny attracted attention. An automobile as a purchase Is some. thing that a man considers for a longer time beforenann man ne ooes inn Buying of a hat. Most specimens of the genus homo need to be annually reminded to be gin thinking early about their Christmas purchases. Advertising reminders by deal ers will greatly help along their mid-winter sales. A New York agent for Oldstnobiles who advertised car for Christmas gifts last year, sold twenty runabout and ten touring cars before the arrival of the holi day that celebrate "Good will o all." Because of the reduced rate at which members of the American Automobile asso ciation will be able to trael to the New York shows, the individual membership Is experiencing a boom. No one will be able to get the advantage of the rat by Joining the American Automobile association at show time. They must be member before hand and the railroads have become very strict on this point. Not everyone appre ciates this, but enough do to keep Secre tary A. O. Batcheider very busy and the office at 31 West Forty-second street. New Yoik, are being flooded with Inquiries. Fur full fledged touring cars, the four cylinder engine will he more the thing in lii06, more than ever. Where the four-cycle type of motor Is used n engine of less than four cylinders will hardly be used for any 'grown up" model. It has conic to a pass where It msy lie said that the one rvllnder car la a runabout and the two-cylinder car a "touring runabout." or "light tonneau" car, while only the maehlne with a four-cylinder engine is a full fledged tour ing car. The plan of the hlggest concern In the country Indicate a recognition of this. It I mere than likely that the auto mobile show of 1906 In Mndlson Square gar den will result in the adoption of a new policy and new methods of decoration In that historic building for shows of all sort In the future. For the annual show of next January a decorative scheme of unexampled gorgeousness has been worked out and the great amphitheater will be un recognisable by It best friends The In terior will present a perfect Illusion, by mean of paintings, with fine perspective, concealing the ends and sides. The effect will be that of an Italian garden, the chief color scheme of the pillars and other stuff work being white and gold. Now that the time Is drawing nigh when the public will begin to buy cars for 19 It might be well to call attention to the relative merits of American and imported machlnea. In thla connection one nf the most Important Items to he taken Into con sideration la the matter of obtaining part readily. The European method of manufac ture was. and Is still to a great extent, so conducted that nearly all of the car are built one at a time and not In large numbers, aa Is the rase in the leading American factories. The European makers will tell you that everything Is carefully machined and put together by hand, but they neglect to tell you that In most cases It would be Impossible for you to obtain exact duplicates of part, drilled and machined ready for use. On the other hand, nearly all of the American manufac. turera make their cars, not one at a tine, but In hundred, and even thousand lots. nd every piece entering Into their con struction la so accurately machined that any one nut of a large bin will be found to flt Into Its particular place, regardless of whether it hss been assembled before or not. All of this Is made possible by the use of special tools, called "Jlga." upon which the parts are inirhlned. These tools ire equipped wtUi guides which determine the location of all fides and reduce the ahnr of measuring and laying nut the work to a mere mechanical proposition requiring practically no head work. In large factories, such a the Old Motor srorks. prorket wheels, connecting rods, ind various other small parta are put i rough ten or twenty at time, and one an see row after row of bin filled with arts ready for the assembling room. When they are reedy to build a car all hat la necessary to do Is to collect from hese various bins the component parts nd put them together. A striking thing thout the whole process I the fact that iheelutrly ne attention 1 paid to the par Iculsr piece which I selected, a they are Ml like so "irv pease u a pod -absolute duplicate. tCr.CES IF THE AITEROOi Maeoal?.
