All the First Choices at Alexander
Island Went by the Board.
JOCKEY JoHNsoN's TROUBLE
Judge Mcmahon Filed Protest Against the
Boy Being Allowed to Ride-Johnny Upset
West Side Sure Wi1ner-Benjamin Adds
Another to His Long List of Victories.

Not favorite flashed past the post first at
the Old Dominion race track yesterday, and
the fall of the talent was pitiful to behold.
Only one second choice came 20 the rescue of
the public. The track is rapidly drying up,
but was still rather slow. The racing was
mostly without incident and the public took
their losses philosophically.
Judge Mcmahon entered protest against
Johnson being allowed to ride, claiming tn at
the boy is under contract to him. johnson
denies that he is under any obligations to the
owner, but he will not be allowed to ride
until the matter is settled. The summaries:
