| The above summary was made up from the
way the horses passed the score and according
| to the honest judgment of the reporters. The
| rider of Edlewess went into the judges stand,
| where Messrs. Boggs Hancock and ~hippee pre-
sized, and claimed foul lie claimed that on the
| home-StrCtch he was coming up with Il burst Of
speed between Moonlight and Miss Courtney,
| when the former SeryCG ia the latter swerved
| Onward placing EdleweiSS in q pOcSet, thus
| keeping her from winning the race. The judges
consulted Tor half an hour. and finally decided
| that as Miss Courtney had swerved outward, no
matter whether Intentionally or otherwise the
| same was Il violation Of a rule which dis
| qualified her from taking the first money.
Edlewicss first. Miss Courtney second. Moon
| light third. Leda fourth. This decision was
| greeted with shouts of appreciation by the heavy
| hackers of the fayorite but with shouts of de-
rison from the hackers of the other animals
and the spectators generally. Why don't they
| declare the pools OFF,? was the almost universal
| exclamation.
| Theodore Winters the owner of Miss Court
| ney, went into the stand and demonstrated
| against the decision. He was very indignant,
| and Justly So too. lie told them their judg-
! q fOltlb bX-
| Miss Courtney she should not be given place
| in the race. Instead of being rewarded she
should be punished. He also said that he would
never run another race on the track with Direc-
| tor Hancock in the stand. He would be ruled
| off first. To make matters more complex, and
| 10 place the judges in more unenviabe light if
I such a thing were possible, Mr.. Wolfskill. the
! owner of Edleweiss said upon the track that the
| decision was wholly uDjust-that his mare did
not win the first money, was not entitled TO it,
| and he would not accept il. This outspoken
| sentiment of an honest man was warmly ap-
| plauded. When they started selling rools on
the next race, several disguised citizens refused
| to further invest. They said they would not
| 3" bet against the horses and judges too
| The decision of the judges was the chief topic
| of conversation among turf men last evening,
| ana the ruling as recorded was universally con-
| demned
