LY WATCHED.
"Stonenell wins Glenmoyne Is disqualified" was
the cry that startled the crowd at Jerome Park
Yesterday after the last race had been run. Two
trains packed with racegoers who were satisiied
that Glenmoyne had won had left the track When
1t announced that Glenmoyne was disqualified
for being short OF weight there was general howl
from the crowd. Many Of the persons who had bet
on Stonenell had torn up their tickets and this
caused them howl louder. II anything. than the
persons who lost their money on Glenmoyne.
The case is without precedent in the history or
racing in any country. so far as known. as the race
was a match and there only two jockeys to
weigh for the race There any number OF re-
ports about the affair. One was that Hamilton
who rode Genmoyne. made a mistake and weighed
out with lO7 pounds. That report would not hold
water the clerk OF the scales would have noticed
and called Hamlltons attention to It. Everybody
| was mys,ifed and crowd gathered around the
| Judges stand wild with rage. nearly everybody
who had tickets on Glenmoyne remained to get
them cashed Racegoers prone 20 entertain
| suspicious. and many harsh things were said by
some OF the more turbulent In the crowd
/
was found that Hamilton was two and half
mounds short OF his weight. which was 10 pounds.
Hamilton Mt felt of his lead pad and SAID:
'Dere's no lead in yeah | done tole my valet Ter
| put de lead in. an he's jes med er mistake an
didn't put II in
Rogers was called and said that there was no
lead in the pad. and that he expected jockey 10
make his correct weight; but II seemed that In the
present case jockey at least had not done So
| When Hamilton asked his Wallets name ne
said ne only knew him as Joe and that ne never
heard his other name. The pieces OF lead that
would have gone to make up Hamiltohs weight
were found in the paddock.
