The action OF the Jockey Club Stewards
in ruling off Alex Shields was thoroughly
| discussed by owners and trainers at
Brighton yesterday. and opinion as TO the
| Justice of the decision differed. The ma
Jorty, however, thought that Shields had
had fair hearing. and that the decision
was fair. The Stewards did not act has
| tily. but spent several hours on Friday
and many more on Saturd.j before ar
irving at any decision. Mr. Shields was
was given a long hearing, and as be-
fore the Brighton Beach Stewards. he
claimed that while he thought his horse
Logan had been gotten at" on July %
he was innocent. The sheets OF a num-
Der OF bookmakers who killed" Logan
were produced, and they told very badly
| against Shields. Wnile the consensus Of
| opinion was against Shields, owners and
trainers claim that Father BIZ DAILY
was equally as guuty and he should have
received the same medicine. Many OF
| story against Father Bill" for in nearly
every instance Lizzie had been plugged"
| as hard as Logan.

easy. In the last sixteenth, Jodan and
Kiideer both came with a rattle. and

strung out, BY the way, it would not
