BOARD OF REVIEW
Of National Trotting Association Re-
ports Its Findings.

New York, May 4.-When the board Of
review of the National Trotting Associa-
ton assumed its position today. the case
of Barney II. DemareSt, the driver, was
taken up lie was called to answer why
he should not be adjudged guilty of vio-
lating the section which provides a fine
where n nominator who is not the owner
fails to state the name and residence of
the owner with the nomination.
1t was alleged that Demarest raced
Folo Maid and Charley Stiles as he
should not have done. J. Murphy, who
has been under suspension for six years,
in applying for reinstatement. last De-
cember. admitted to Major Johnston he
had owned horses during the term of his
suspension and had had Barney Demarest
race them.
Today. he explained that he had given
n bill of sale for VOlo Maid to his part
ner in the Knickerbocker stables, Emil
A. Selig, to whom he owed money, but
said he had given the bill Of sale SO that
he could race the mare.
The findings of the board were that
DemareSt was to some extent culpable.
The board of review decided that the
bay mare VolO Maid was owned by Jere-
miah Murphy said Mr.. Demarest. when
she was raced ut Readville and won sec
ond money. They decided that this mon
ey must be paid back and that he should
be fined $50 for driving her.
I'm regard to Charles Stiles, the own
ership of that horse was in doubt and
that case is carried over until the De
cember meeting of the board. GadabOut
they decided was owned by me-therefore
no pcnalty attached
