WITHDRAW FROM IT.

IT WILL THEN BE RIM AS a LICENSED

NAVARRO DEAD HEAT.
It is a shame that the prosperous racing sea-
in the annals of the American turf should be
marred by unjust decisions from the officials APP
pointed by the Jockey Club The Incidents of last
week have caused universal dissatisfaction to every
fair minded. honest raccgoer who has the true IN
terests OF racing AT heart. All that IL required 10
pace the sport a sound basis IL a prompt. ener-
getic effort to do what the Jockey Club attempted
TO do last winter. Horseowners and racegoers were
led to believe at that time that complete change
would be made in the racing officials. and that men
who young. sharp-sghted and alert would be
appointed the places that require these attributes
in those who fill them Everywhere that racing Is
the topic Of discussion the disqualification OF Con-
noisseur and the unjust punishment inflicted on
Taral. the leading jockey Of America, have been
condemned in unmeasured terms.
The outrage-for it was nothing less-may have
been blessing in disguise, as II has caused many
persons who invariably accepted the decisions Of
racing authorities without murmur TO reoe ana
talk about taking immediate action 10 bring about
a change In few weeks the racing season In this
state will DE ended. The blunders OF the present
season will then become ancien' history The per-
