GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

Inc STEWARDS acting at the Grayesend
meeting came to the conclusion yester-
day that II was about time that they
did something to let the public know
they were alert and vigilant. so they
suspended Rein. the little jockey who
rides for McCafferty and the Duke
Bros The Stewards did not deign to
give any explanation OF their action.
They simply announced that they were
dissatisfied with Reiff's riding of Wat
terson. Reporters are. as n rule. quick
to notice a queer bit OF riding They
are compelled to note every horse In the
race In order that positions at every fur
long may be given. No one in the stand
noticed that Reiff in any way rode a
bad race. Perhaps he was n trihe too
confident with Watterson on Saturday,
but this IL a fault that every Jockey
possesses. No ono with a grain OF sense
who saw Watterson going easily fur
long from home on Saturday will admit
that Reiff deliberately pulled the horse
back to let Sullross win. Yet such Is
the impression shat the vigilant and far
seeing Stewards seek to convey. Wat
terson's victory yesterday was justified
by public form. He is heavy headed
