GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

The decision OF the Brighton Beach
Stewards in the Shieds-Logan case is
commendable. 1t now remains with the
Jockey Club to make final disposition
OF the case. In the mean time, Mr..
Shiolds's license as trainer has been
suspended, and according to the Jockey
clubs decision he will be exonerated or
become a turf outlaw. During the In
vestigation yesterday Shields said he
thought his horse had been tempered
with, but he vigorously denied having
been n party to the fraud. He said he
felt satisfied that certain bookmaker.
whose name was not mentioned, had
cotton at Logan. II MIR. Shields's side
of the story Is true, then the Jockey
club should get after the bookmaker.
There are number OF men In the ring
who viii stoop, to fraudulent methods,
and they should he gotten rid of.
Father Bill' DAILY also got a taste OF
the medicine. for which many persons
are thankful. The stewards were dis,
satisfied with l.izzie's performances and
instructed the clerk of the course to re-
fuse her entry in the future. Early in
the day Papa william" tried to show
why Logans race was all right, by
comparing his performance with LIZ
zie's. Papa BIZ declared that he did
not bet, 'and had no object in stop
pinS MS marc LOOK out, rather, or
drag-net. They will stand no monkey
work, and mean business.
There are upward Of 1000 horses at the
Saratoga track, and Yet barely three
dozen can be scraped together to make
up days racing. These horses com
prise the best horses in training East
and West. among their, being sucn crack
Attacks as Henry Of Navarro, Domino.
Lamplighter, Maid Marian. Rey HI Santa
Anita. Dobbins. Banquet, Don Alonzo,
Yo Tambcn and others equally good. II
Is a matter Of wonder. therefore. as to
the reason why entries enough cannot be
scared up to make a decent showing.
Said one of the official Is OF the track
r Ehen Trouble is as yrhe se
horses come from all parts OF the ,coun-
try after hard campaigning. Their
owners look upon Saratoga as sort of
sanitarium or recruiting place. How
ever, as soon as the v esterners have
rested up they Will be hustling for the
money and the East will soon follow suit
We. expect some brill liant racing, and
with the best material In the country at
hand 1t will be strange II some cracking
good contests are not seen. The change
in the time Of racing will probably BEN
to race in the middle Of the day, and
complaints have reached us from sur
rounding points regarding the early
starts
Midgley's riding of The Pepper and
Waicott yesterday caused the hackers of
these horses to rave and tear their hair.
ON Walcott In particular Midgley rode a
most miserable race. allowing the horse
to go all to pieces at the critical moment.
George Wheelock tried to scorCh the
| ring on Senela and was badly singed
