ALATONIA BLUNDER.
The Judges Cause Two Rnces for the DIer-
chants Stake.


CINCINNATI, May 22-The third day at La.
tonia was cold and disagreeable, attendance
large and the track slow. A serious blunder
occurred during the afternoon. The field was
sent away IN the Merchants Stake by Starter
Sheridan and the race run without any of the
judges being in the stand, and the error was
not discovered until the jockeys came back to
weigh out and found no one in the stand to
acknowledge them. The judges were hunted
up and let the boys dismount, when they an
nounced all bets off on the race and the dis
tance to be gone over again. The favorit was
Montrose in the first run, but switched to the
Chicago stable entry in the second. This stable
won both runs; the first with Wheeler 7, the
second with Santalene. They ran one. two in
both runs. Considerable kicking was indulsed
in over the decision of the judges in declaring
all bets of The day was good one for the
talent, as they picked the winners all through
the card.
