THAT VIoLETs-COMANCHB RACE
.. II. r. n. A. Stewards VIII Investigate
for Themselves.

y. II. p. N. A. Stewards VIII Iavestgate
for Themselves.
After q protracted session at the Office of the
Executive Committee of the Steeplechase, Hunt,
and Pony Racing Association at 80 Broad street
yesterday morning the following decision was
handed down regarding the Long Island Pony
Racing Associations efforts to clear away the
scandals which made their late meeting SO un-
satisfactory:
"The steeplechase, Hunt, and Pony Racing
Association, having examined the evidence sub
mitted by the stewards of the Long Island Pony
Racing Association, and finding IL SO incompe-
tent and inaccurate. have determined to inyesti-
gate the race themselves.
HENRY A. Buck Secretary"
The stewards of the Steeplechase, Hunt, and
Pony Racing Association present were Thomas
Hitchcock, Jr, w. H. Sands, and J. II. Roberta.
The race mentioned In the report of the stewards
was the contest between Fred Gebhard's mare
,Violets and Philip DAILY, Jr.'s, Comanche. Bar
bee rode Vioiets and HUM rode Comanche, and
everything about the contest indicated crooked
work, Comanche, on which q lot OF money was
bet, winning the race. Mr.. Gerhard asked the
stewards of the Long Island Pony Racing Asso-
citation to investigate the race, as he was salts
hed there was some trickery, and, failing TO get
any satisfaction. he rendered his resignation as
q member OF both the Steeplechase, Hunt, and
Pony Racing Association and the Long Island
Pony Racing Association.
From what Is told above, Il Is evident that
Messrs. Hitchcock, Sands, and Roberts are thor
ouRhly in earnest, and will probe the matter to
the bottom. 1t Is only a matter of justice to ].
to say that he was dissatisfied with the race, and
wanted his colleagues to take action on the case
at once.

here q more exciting argument In the baseball
time than this twelve-innlng game between the
New Works and Pittsburghs. IL WAS only the
darkness that called a halt on the hostilities
and left tho score q tie at 4 each. Yelling,
jumping, and cheering are all too mild to de-
scribe the scenes that were continually being
witnessed. The ordinary needles and pins con-

Beckley and Donovan did the riding for the FIRST
five furlongs, and there Is little doubt that they
allowed old Pittsburgh TO 20 wide and swerve

hailed the scent Of oats, and double discounted
