RACING At IVY CITY.
A Jockey Warned for Pulling" I'm the Third

A slightly increased attendance Witnessed the
running of five rather poor races at the Ivy
City track yesterday afternoon. and also wit
messed in the third race piece Of riding which
should have received at the hands Of the judges
something more than the warning which was
given to the offending jockey, Mason. The
race was dash of four and one-half furlonss,
in which Ella Mason, st. Patrick, Register and
Anne Elizabeth started. Mason's orders were
to take the lead and keep it. Ella opened at
to and closed at 5 to l. When the flag
dropped she was length or two behind, but
instead of Mason taking her to the front. as he
was ordered to do, he never moved up until
well in the stretch. when the mare came on well
and strong. At the last furlong she was sec
ond. with the race apparently at her mercy.
But instead of keeping her going Mason delib-
erately ceased all efforts and permitted
ST. Patrick to win by about a length.
Capt Maddux. the owner of Ella. formally
explanation that he found the pace too fast and
felt that he could not win. Notwithstanding
such worthless excuse. and despite the fact OF
very suspicious betting on the mare, the judges
were content to let the boy off with warning.
In view of the very general belief that the mare
was pulled it Is hardly necessary to say that the
action Of the judges was no less a great surprise
than it was great disappointment to those
who believe in honest Rcing. 1t is hardly
necessary to say. too, that if the club wishes to
continue its meeting il will have to adopt more
stringent rules in the protection of the public.
