How II Was Done at Frederick. sta.
ted in our local columns last week, AFR. John G
| Boaley's horse "nilly Badcye," trotted AZ tha
Frederick county fair last week In the $50 class
there being three other horses Ia the same race.
A number % baltimore county gentlemen wers
presen, and they are all loud In their denuneia-
tions Of the manner In which Mr.. Bosley was
treated on that occasion. The Frederick Cifirea
/ tells the story a. follows:
"This race was characterized BY the crowd as
the most shameful piece Of jOekeying ever seen on
our track. To outsiders II was evident that .
conspiracy had been entered into between the
drivers TO beat Mr.. Bosley, the owner and driver
Of f"Badeye." II is very evident our Society will
be called on In the future 10 select gentlemen for
judges who have a thorough knowledge Of the
rules of racing. Whilst We make this statement,
Nc wish Il distinctly understood We cast no re-
Elections upon tho judges In this race for they are
gentlemen of honor and high standing and acted
a. best they knew how. ftoften occurs that there
are set OF professional sharpers who band to-
gether TO drive from the race.eoursc every one
~" i not one # thsmseircs. They even contend
that no gentleman has right 20 drive his own
horse. for say the sharpcrs u that was tho case,
our occupation would be gone. when gentlemen
do attempt 60 drive, unless the rules are more
strictly enforced. We often see these sharpers act
IN some rascally and disgraceful manner. In the
race of the $50 class Mr.. Boslcys horse was out
rageously jockeyed from tho very first and was
should have been ruled oil the track and not only
set back. as he was. by tho Judges. The Frederick
County Agricultural Society Is governed in i:s
races by the rules of the National Trotting Asso-
eiation, which give protection 90 every one who
drives IN the race u they only strictly enforc.
81. Surely man l. q thief IL he steals another
mans money, 80 il he equally guilty if he steals
race IL would pay the Society 10 have set Of
gentlemen who know every rule governing races,
for whilst gentleman may be good farmer, or
lawyer, or business man. be may be very poor
judge of - horse. race. The rules should be known
AMI ,t' n carried out 20 the bitter end One OF
tWp examples will be sufficient to end the dis.
graceful proceedings Of professional shaFpers."
Those who witnessed the race Say that Mr.
Bosley would have had easy thing 60 win u,
aud the jockeys knowing this, used all their arts
10 beat him. lie wis cut oiF whenever Il was pos
sible 10 do u, and the professional drivers eyen
wen, 90 far as 10 run into his sulky In their a.
,cmpls 60 cut him down. -
