BY the Associated Press.


turfman, Monroe Salisbury. was today
expelled from the trotting turf by John
D. Barry, Henry Hughes and I. X. Egg
bert, judges Of the postponed 2:16 race,
which brought the grand circuit trotting
meeting in New York to close. The
offense for which this severe measure
was melted out as punishment. was
Mr.. Salisbury's alleged removal of the
trotting mare Expressive from the
Fleetwood track, without the permission
OF the judgeA Expressive started in
the 2:l6 class race which was begun on
Friday last. two heats being trotted be-
fore darkness came on to cause post
ponement. This mare was heavily
backed as favorite and her chances to
win were regarded as extremely good,
although Strontia won the first heat
and Judge Austin beat her in the
second. When she was taken away from
the track on Saturday night her hackers
were lett in the lurch, as the bets stood
hand to trot it out. Thousands of dol
lars were thus lost without giving the
betters o show for their money.
1t was too wet to call the race up on
Saturday, and an effort was made to
bring about compromise among the
horsemen COD cerned by which the
money should be divided and the race
declared off. Everybody agreed to this
except the owner of Judge Austin, who
felt confident of winning the race. The
race was carried over until today. The
owner OF Expressive had an engage
ment for his mare in Terre Haute
this week, and he wanted 60
get away from New York at
once. He therefore shipped Expressive
along with his other horses, and she
did not respond to the Harvesting bell
fer the unfinished race today. The
Judges declared her ruled out for nom
appearance, and after the conclusion OF
the race they took the spectators breath
away by announcing that Monroe Sails
bury stood expelled from all National
association tracER, the claim being made
that Salisbury openly deied the rules
OF the turf, as we'll as the judges OF the
meeting, by taking his mare from the
track when she was legally in the hands
of the officials. 1t wes reported yester-
day that Henry Hughes had admitted
that he had consented to Salisbury's
withdrawing Expressive after the poet
ponement Saturday evening. This
Hughes denies.
The race was won by Judge Austin,
who fairly outtrotted Rose Leaf and the
others in both heats, making new
record of 2:1214.
