DAILY IS RULED OFF.
One of the Unique Characters Of
the Turf in Disgrace.
Friend Of N. r. Owyer and Tutor
Of Great Jockeys.
His Horses Had Habit OF Losing
When They We're Favorites.

william c. DAILY better known to turf
followers as Father Bill DAILY, has
been ruled off, and. unless he decides to
cast his lot among the turf outlaws at
Flushing, or other tracks that are with
out the pale Of the Jockey Club, the
chances are that the name of one of the
most unique characters that ever raced
a thoroughbred will soon be but n men,
DRY to the racing public.
There has been but one expression
since the decision of the stewards of the
Jockey Club became known, and that is
to the effect that they did one of the
best things possible for the interest of
the turf
The ofrensc for which the Sage of
Hartford" must suffer was the pulling
of Lizzie in the last race at Brighton
=, on July %. Alex Shields got into trou-
bic with Logan in the same race, and
was ruled oil last Saturday. The work
of the stewards in investigating the
case against DAILY was done so quietly
and systematically that but few dreamed
that the axe would fall on DAILY. The
peculiar running of other horses from
DAYS stable ut the Brighton meeting
was also taken into consideration. ana
after lengthy discussion the stewards
late last night decided to rule Daily oil.
