making q head and head finish for the F1atlands
Stakes at one mile and n quarter. and passing
the wire ia the order named. The spectacle II
the three good colts fighting their way 10 the
wire had wrought the spectators up 20 q high
pitch Of enthusiasm.
The race which followed was q hlgh-class
sweepstakes for two-yea Odds. and had for start
srs Charles Littleneld. Jr.'s. Connolsseur. one OF
the cracks Of his age; ID. A. Boyle's smart colt
Havoc. J. A. II. a u. II. Morris's owlet. 7. =.

Connoisseur was an even money favorite, with
Havoc q well-played second choice. Con-
noisseur and Owlet at once went 10
the front, with Havoc the most prominent
Of the others next the rail. Al the begin

Havoc. and Simms had to rein up sharply,
throwing Havoc of his stride and caus-
ing him TO lose at least five or six
lengths. Connoisseur was on the outside
probably half a length before Owlet when this
occurred. and the colt and the flly had the race

his weight he entered the stewards stand and
made q complaint against Taral. Taral, Penn.
and the other riders taking part In the con-
test were then summoned by the stewards
Taral denied having interfered with owlet or
Havoc and he was applauded by those
who had money on the fayorite. Penn,
when questioned. admitted that he had
interfercd with Havoc. but said that Taral on
Connoisseur was at fault, the favorite carrom-
ing into him and carrying him toward the rail.
where slmms was coming up with Havoc.
Patrol Judge Hoey, who was only q few yards
away. said that Connoisseur was to blame. and
after n short consultation Connoisseur was dis
qualified and Owlet placed first. the Louise flly
eccond, and Havoc third. Taral was fined 5000
for foul riding and suspended for the balance Of
tho Gravesend meeting. having permission to
ride only for those owners to whom he Is en-
gagged by contract.
The onlookers. who knew nothing OF the testi-
niony before the Board OF rewards. and who
han seen Owlet cross Havoc, had Penn firmly
settled In their minds as the culprit. They ex-
pected Owlet to be disqualified. SO that their
feelings and actions may be Imagined when
qualified. Money talks. and when q man has q
ticket on a horse that is disqualified, he sees the
great deal OF foul riding during the meeting.
