This action Is result of the recent at
tacks on American owners and jockeys
made by Lord Durham. bne of the stewards
of the Jockey Club. He declared the Eng

blamed the Yankees for It.
A number of noblemen and other promi-

a half-hearted way. and tried to have the
matter dropped. JohnfA Drake of Chicago,
who is said to have won s1,OOO,OO0 in bets
and purses this season. took the accusation
much to heart and sold out his entire stable.
Other Yankee owners deeply resent the at

but yell fraud when they win
There was some criticism of the Prince of
