WalrOtt Again Mixed Up in a Sus-
piCiOus Race at the Island.
POOR WORK OF THE STARTER
Close OF the Investigation Into the His Grace
Case bY the Declaration That the Arch
culprits Could Not Be Decentralization
Was Cut Loose and Landed Big Bets for
His Knowing Backers-To-day's Entries

In strong contrast TO the previous day, the
races at Alexander Island were run of yes
terday without trouble, although the starting
OF Mr.. Cassidy was OF the most execrable
sort Bis work with the flag has unfortu-
nately been of the poorest kind this week.
The track was in fair condition, and
larger crowd than usual tried to pick the
winners, with ten book-makers laying the
odds. Two fayorities won during the day,
and the penciIlers had much the best of the
argument
The officials declared that L. Blank, the
reported owner OF bis Grace. has been ex-
onerated, and that the investigation had
been concluded. Among those who desired
20 see the probe so further this decision was
disappointing, as the boy is the only sufferer.
The case was freely commented upon, and
curiously enough the stories about the really
guilty men ali agree. There were many VINO
said that the investigation was very weak
one, in view OF certain circumstances well
known in the ring.
In the third event there was long and ir-
ritating delay at the post. When the nag
finally fell, Walcott and John McGarrigle
were standing still Ham was fined $50 as
the authorities believed that he was not RnX-
ious to get away from the post with Walcott.
There were thousands OF dollars bet on the
gelding. and il he really was dead, the
penalty and the decision was yerypaltry. The
history of this horse has lately been OF the
most unsayory kind.
To-day is the last day, and an exception
ally good card has Deen prepared. The sum
