Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 19.-In the Daisy
stakes at Sheepshead Bay to-day Media
and MiSericordia were equal faVoriteS. 1t
was little more than Walk-oVer for
Media, for she won all the way. Central
Trust took the sixth race by head from
Intrusive. Her time Q:4O equaled the
track record.
w. H. Clark, the owner of Banastar, IA
vorite of the Suburban, ordered Jockey
Maher away from his stables to-day and
told him he could not ride for him or any
one else during this and next year Mr.
Clark has the jockey under contract for
1899 and 1900 and says he prefers to pay
him the $4,000 a year to stay on the
ground. He makes no direct charges that
Banastar was pulled in the big race of
Saturday but declares he Will protect
other owners.
Whether or not Mr.. Clark has ground
for a suspicion that Maher acted dishon-
estly. he was incensed because the jockey
failed to get Banastar away from the
post in the Suburban. and then cruelty
and shamefully belabored the poor beast
without the slightest cause. Maher, who
is under contract with Mr. Clark to ride
for two years, at a salary of $4,000 per
annum has been instructed to call at his
EMPLOYERS office every three months to
collect his salary. He must at all times
remain away from the stable. He cannot
ride in any race or even exercise morse
on the race track without his employer S
consent, which practically means Danish
ment from the turf. Results:
