RACE DECISION SUSTAINED 1t will be re-
membered that at the race on the Agricut-
ural Park course, in this city, on the 4th of
July, swindle was declared in one of the
races, as perpetrated by the trainer, Thomas
Jones, and he was expelled by the judges.
The decision was based on the fact, &C.
knowledged by him at the time that the
jockey, acting under his Instructions, was TO
lay-up with Winifred, and allow Minnie
Norris. her only competitor. TO win the first
heat. The judges did not change the jockey
after the first heat, as is generally done in
such cases, and Winifred was again beaten in
the second heat and lost the race. A special
meeting of the Blood Horse Association was
held on Saturday to consider the case of
Jones' expulsion. After lengthy examina-
ton of the matter, the trustees sustained the
decision of the judges, and settled the point
as to the admissibility of laying. up heat
when there are but two contestants in a re-
peat race. The owner of the mare was en-
tirely exonerated as to any completely or
knowledge OF the matter and the entire
blame placed upon Jones, who instigated it,
and the jockey who carried cut his instruc-
tions. The latter was let eff by the judges at
the time by o small fine, as he exposed the
arrangement to the judges at once upon the
track.
