Having His Horse Pulled-The Riley
and Longstreet Match Declared OFF,
Good Racing at jerome Park.
NEW YORK, July 4.-Shortly before the
meeting at Jerome Park to-day heavy rain
began to fall. and continued for some time
This threw the track in a wretched condi-
tion, and as a consequence the scratches
were numerous.
In the case of the Hackensack handicap,
which caused such q rumpus at Morris Park
on Saturday last, when san Juan, owned by
L. McDewee 4 Co. was pulled to permit his
stable companion, Rey Del Rey, to win, the
Board of Control has given decision. 1t is
to the effect that Matt Allen is fined $500 and
McLewee is cautioned. The board also de-
cided that two or more horses running in
the same interest shall be coupled in the
betting. The board also gave notice to
jockeys that they must ride out in the ab-
sence of a declamtion.
The proposed match between Longstreet
and Riley has been declared off. This is due
to the fact that u. b. Morris, who trains
Riley, wants the race to be run rain or shine
on Thursday next. This NJ. Dwyer refused
to do and as no settlement could be reached
the matter was dropped.
