was that the case should be dismissed
against the McGuires. John Schoon-
maker is expelled and ID. II. Armstrong
was suspended until the unlawful win
nings received by him are returned.
The horse is suspended until all the
unlawful winnings are returned and the
recording fee for change of name is
paid. The horse was bought by Arm
strong from Schoonmaker and it was
alleged that it was started under the
name of Harry at several meetings in
lower classes than its record entitled
it to.
