Given the Race. -
ONLY ONE FAVORirE WON
Jockey Ellis Ruled or For Refusing
to Tell WHO Engaged Hiln-Inves-
tigation Still lPcnding-Ringer
Supposed to he Pharisee
)NLY ONE FAyORIrE WON

An attempt was made Yesterday to
ring the bay horse Pharisee for Frank
B., but the Job didn't 60 through as the
officials were on the alert and after the
race they investigated and found the
horse Frank B. had changed very much
since he last started, not only in appear.
ancc, but yesterday he showed much
more speed than he has on any previous
occasion.
The officials reserved their decision
until after the last race. An attempt was
made to find the owner of Frank b. but
he was nowhere to be found. 1t was sal
that Frank b. and the owner had went
away several days ago, but the officials
had very good evidence that tie horse
was II ne other than Pharisec, SO in or.
der to make the jobbers lose their money v
they disqualified him.
The only one to be punished was
Jockey Ellis, who rode the winner.
When the oific al questioned him as to
who had engaged him, he stated that
he didn't knowthe man only by sight, but
the official believes he does, and is only
holding back 50 as to shield the guilty
parties. AT any rate the investigating
committee are in session, and it is safe
to say some prominent members OF the
turf will be connected with the fraud.
The feature of the day was the win
ming of Glover Vendig, who defeated
such good horses as Frank Hough, Cuba
and Ferocious in common gallop.
Only one favorte landed home win
ner, and of course the books got the
money.
Following are the summary, entries
and selections for today.
