riding Of Maher IN the Suburban? Is there a limit
TO eccentricity in racing in the United States?
Think Of Ethebert's record in 1900, and think Of

Ethelbert, and the riding Of McCue on Kinley Mack
against Imp Memorial Day at Gravesend. No
person Of high principles will ever try to find
excuse for the performance of either jockey in
either race. because no thoughtful person, who is
not blind. can doubt that each Of those rides was
