INSISTED ON CLEAN SPORT.
Brightwood Judges Quick to Note
Suspicious JOckeyship.
Drivers Substituted in Two Races
Bets Declared on In One Event
The Three Days Meet One of the
Most Successful Ever Held Locally.

The last day of the three days meet at
the Brightwood Driving Park yesterday
produced two excellent trotting events
and one running race. The audience was
large and interested. Never had the
track been in better condition, and the
Introduction of sprinkling cart and a
harrow assisted in making it faster than
it has been this season.
The judges, J. =. Clark, e. e. Hartung
and j. t. Hoge, were called upon to con-
slider intricate problems. and their de-
cisfons met with popular approval In
the 2:S5 trot, while Frances Medium was
evidently unable to beat the favorite
BABY, 1t appeared to the public and to
the stand that the former was not driven
out to compete for first prize. The de-
termination OF the judges to substitute
another driver was a verdict that pleased
the spectators, who manifested their ap-
prevail.
The judges, Oh suspicion that Eagle
Boy had not been driven out in the first
heat of the 2;30 trot declared all bets OFF
which proved to be another popular de-
cision. b. F. McCaulley acted as starter
In the 2:3O trot Barry unexpectedly cap
tured three out of the four heats, win
ming first prize. lib Gentry won the first
heat, but failed to show up well thereaf-
ter, earning only one second place, in the
third heat. In the third heat of this race
Eagle Boy, winner of third money, went
the distance with check down and a sulky
with only one tire after an eighth of a
mile had been trotted. Notwithstanding
these handicaps, Eagle Boy was driven
the distance and succeeded in coming
home well within the distance flag.
The 2:S5 trot was distinguished by good
starts. Baby outclassed his field and
was never approached in any of the
the third heat Frances Medium, with
Sondheimer driving, failed TO make as
good showing as before her own driver,
although the time was somewhat i'm
proved by the efforts OF Happy Russell.
mile.
The nervous antics of Lady Easbeen in
the running race. made the start in both
heats long delayed. The mare bucked her
Jockey continuously, and in the second
heat Brophy, who was then in the saddle,
was tossed over her head. but without
injury, and was back in his seat in an in
slant The jockeys on both Lady Has
been and Miss Loving Heart seemed de-
termined to secure the advantage of
running start, and it was with difficulty
that the starter. Mr.. Hoge, succeeded in
getting them off in shape.
