In the Rutland stakes Sloane rode
the Lorillard- Beresford stables bay
colt Boomer but failed to get a pace,
this being the only race out of the sew
en- events in which he had a mount that
he did not land his horse either first or
second.
How He Was Fouled.
In the cable report of Thursdays rae
ing it was. mentioned that Sloane was
awarded a race on a foul. Details of
the foul can now be given. 1t was in
the first race. Sloane had his mount
we'll in hand and was palpably Win
ner, when Loates and Robinson bored in
on him. The British love of fair play
was evinced by howl of anger when

aged by this trick to cross the wire first.
The foul was so evident that even be-
fore Sloane had time to enter an objec-
ton the stewards raised the number of
his horse as the winner amid a delight
ed roar from the spectators. Loates,
the foremost Jockey in England, was
suspended for four weeks for the foul,
while Robinson, who was less guilty,
got off with a reprimand.
The sensation created by the events
at Newmarket, with Sloane for pivot,
is reflected in the London papers, which
seem undecided whether to he most en-

For example. Pobin Goodfellow, the
well known sporting authority who
writes for The Daily Mail says:
within the past few days Sloane has
done more than during the whole Pc
riod of his sotourn with us last autumn
to disperse the mists of prejudice
through which sticklers for English
methods viewed his a 'ormances. In
the face of his victor -, on such queer
tempered, unreliable animals as Gala
shiels and Kirschwasser the scoffer
must unbend or be scoffed at himself"
The popularity of his riding, so much
commented on. is that he leans far for
ward upon his horses neck. His theo-
ry Is that this posture enables him to
offer less resistance to the wind, which
he believes to be an important element
in the speed of horse, just as it is in
the speed of bicycle, as little Jimmy
Michael discovered to his profit and
fame. Moreover it lessons the burden
on the hind legs, which are driving legs
