UnSustiy Treated.
Referring to the alleged pulling of S. W.
Streets Summertime at the. St Asaph
track last Friday. Mr.. ]. NJ. Hill. one OF the
stockholders of tho track, who was re-
ported to- have been accused by Jockey
Macy Of instructins him, to pull the horse
stated to a Star reporter yesterday after
noon that the only, thing he told Macy
was to go out and win at any cost. That
was said," explained Mr.-Hiil Just as the
horses left the paddock for the starting
post"
The only connection he had with the
stable, said Mr.. Hill, was to pay DR.
STREET. $ help while he was absent. STREET.
engaged Macy to ride the horse on the
day before the race, and told him to win
If at all possible. Mr.. Hill said that he
could not understand how the report that
he had instructed Macy to pull the horse
originated, as in an Investigation by the
club the boy declared that he had not SO
accused him, but had simply said that he
rode to orders.
As the result Of the clubs investigation,
Mr.. Hill handed the reporter the following
official statement of the result of the in
vestigation:
The officials of the Virginia Jockey Club
have investigated the conduct of Jockey
Macy in his ride of Friday last upon Sum-
mertime Macy stated to the club that
the newspaper reports that he stated his
Instructions were to pull are false, he be-
ing instructed to win, If possible. Jockey
Penn, who rode lambert, exonerated Macy
from all blame, saying that Summertfme's
head was in the air, because he PENN in
adVertently struck the animal with his
whip across the head several times in try
ing to deliver punishment to lambert. We
cannot find that any one profited by Sum-
meftlme's defeat, and, in view of Jockey
Penn's explanation, which Is corroborated
by the position of the horses at the finish
we conclude that an injustice has probably
been done Jockey Macy, who was engaged
by Dr. STREET. to ride his horse"
