"Admission requirements to the Jockey Club are to be presented by three members. And the club will never admit a merchant, a writer, an artist.
The opulence of the Jockey Club is such that every year he founded prizes for horse racing, which rise to considerable sums. The Club receives all the newspapers, there are pool games, there plays cards, there they speak pleasures and politics, all without stress and healthy . The police has nothing to do at the Jockey Club.The Jockey Club enjoys a very large government influence" |
