HE TOOK HIS MARE AWAY.
Leaving Bets on Her Hanging
in the Air.
EXPELLED BY THE JUDGES.
This Closes Every Track in the
National Association to the
California Horseman.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-The California
lurfman, Monroe Salisbury, was to-day
expelled from the t-OtIing turf by John d.
Barry. Henry Hughes and Thomas L..
Egbert, judges of the postponed 3 :16 race
which brought the Grand Circuit trOtting
meeting 10 close. The Offense for which
this severe measure was meted out as a
punishment was Mr.. Salisbury's alleged
removal of the trotting mare Expressive
from the Fleetwood track without the per-
mission of the judges. Expressive started
III the 2:16 class race. which was begun on
.Fr1fay last, two heats being tTOtted before
darkness came on TO cause p0s'ponement.
The mare was heavily backed as favor
lte and her chances tn win we're 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 left in the lurch, as the bets
stood just the same as if the mare was on
hand to trut il out. Thousands of dollars
were thus lost without giving the bettors
show for their money. 1t was too wet TO
call the race up on Saturday and an effort
was made to bring about COM
promise among the hoTsemen con-
cerned, by Which the money 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 to-
day. The owner of Expressive had an
engagement for his mare in Terre Fl Haute
this week and he wanted to get away from
New York at once. He therefore shipped
Expressive along with his other horses
ana she did not respond TO the harnessing-
bell for the unfinished race to-day. The
judges declared her ruled out for nom
appearance, and after the conclusion of
the contest they took the spectators
breath away by announcing that Monroe
Salisbury stood expelled from all Nation al
Association tracks, the claim being made
that Salisbury openly defied the rules of
the turf as we'll as the judges of the meet
ing by taking his mare from the track
when she was legally in the hands of the
officials. 1t was reported yesterday that
Henry Hughes had admitted that he had
consented to Salisbury's Withdrawing Ex-
pressive after the postpOnement Saturday
evening. This Hughes denies. The race
to-day was won by Judge Austin, who
