trainers which will be difficult to remove In iac'
the meeting was one continual series OF mistakes
It is over now and no one Is sorry Inc cha"se ~
Sheepshead Bay will be welcome one.

had ample reason for his complaint against =.
Rogers. the jockey, who lost one or two races
with Chesapeake which Chesapeake ought TO
have won But the racing authorities passed
lightly Mr.. McDonalds complaint and took
no action against r. Rogers.
