IMP NEEDS REST. ND SHE MAY GET IT
OF all the laundering, fumbling and bunglng
rides seen a New-York track this season, the
riding of Henry DIR. Barlow, in the second race
at Brighton, yesterday, must be ranked among the
worst 1t was a handicap for two-year-olds, and
DR.. Barlow was the top weight. Ridden by
smart jockey. and not by half baked popcorn
urchin Dr. Barlow could have been first by several
lengths. His defeat due to Henry's scatter

had the speckled Lakeland FLY conquered beyond
the shadow of doubt. 1t plain that the
one thing for Henry, that Pacific Slope bucket boy,
discovered in Chinese laundry in San Francisco,
was to with DR.. Barlow fast he could.
But he didn't. He hung back and waited and lin
gered and loitered, and therefore Baron Pepper,
desperately ridden by Turner shot up in the last
hundred yards and won the first money BY the tip
of his nose
That blunder ought to close Henry's career as
jockey for several weeks His ride on Ceyon
Tuesday was so peculiar that he should have been
called before the stewards and required to submit
a complete explanation. His ride DR.. Barlow
was honest, but supremey stupid Henry has now
covered those who praised his jockeyship with
dismay and confusion-yes with misery and
despair After his two CHASTITY muddles on Ceylon
and DR.. Barlow every one who had said OF written
a pleasant word about him was impatient to re-
woke it.
Shaw a jockey is a tetanus germ. If Shaw is
not suspended promptly, the sneers and jeers Of
the turf experts. who have made study of Shaw's
recent riding will centre upon the desire Of certain
turf officials to shield a plunger's jockey and
jockey who is not ft to ride even upon the outlaw
tracks. Shaw did not have the mount on Gibraltar
