That rattling good little two-year-od Havoc
shouldered l 10 pounds and won the Woodcock
Stakes at Sheepshead Bay yesterday with the
most ridiculous ease, running the mile in 1 "a
and going under double pull the last quarter OF
the distance. The son OF Himyar was at the post
for half an hour and fretted a good deal, but

was on It's way homeward.
Before the racing began the stewards Of the
meeting had McCafrerty & wishard before
| them In reference to the running of the colt
Buckrene. Nothing definite reached the public
ear concerning the investigation, but it is un-
| derstood that the case is still under consdera-
| tion, and that the matter will come before the
| stewards OF the Jockey Club at their regular
| meeting on Thursday. During the afternoon
rumors were freely circulated to the effect that
McCafferty & Wishard. and their jockey, Reiff,
had been ruled off the turf, but there Is no
truth In the report, no conclusion having been
arrived at as yet. In the second race

race, and the stewards Of the day issued an
order to refuse all entries from J. p Korn until
the race is investigated. Michael J. DAILY, who
trains st. Michael, says that he told Jockey
Smms to run the first half mile in so
seconds. and that II he did 80 st. Michael

did not obey orders and go to the front;
Simms, on the other hand, says that st. Michael
could not run any, and that he did everything in
his power to win with him, He had some warm
words with Trainer DAILY In the jockeys room.
Trainer DAILY says that he offered the stewards
to take st. Michael out on the track after the
race and work him to mile in order to demon
strate to them that the horse could race fast.
