handicap entries In thu way Of weight allotments
A few days ago Colonel BILL four-year old

| in the brokers' stable, entered In a handicap
and Mr. Vosburgh placed 126 pounds on him The
colt did not win and pulled up lame. In another
handicap yesterday Colonel Bill was entered, and
the impost given 10 him. Mr.. Bell was
not in a pleasant frame Of mind when he went TO
the track yesterday. and his temper was not inn
proved when his trainer told him that Colonel Bin
had broken down. When the Handicapped came into
the clubhouse. Mr.. Bell promptly accused him OF
treating his horses unjustly, and informed him.

Incompetent dyspepuc."
Mr.. Vosburg Immediately appealed 10 Mr.
Bradford. as a steward of the Jockey Club. TO
