Investigation to Follow the
Sudden Reversal OF
Form by Blandy.
Special Dispatch to The Call.


JAMAICA, Oct. II. - With a warm
October sun diffusing life and health to
grateful thousands, fortune favored the
Metropolitan Jockey Clubs fall open
ing to-day. The horses provided sat
isfactory days sport, excepting the
performance of Newton Bennington's
Blandy in the first race and the poor
handling of Water Pansy in the last
race.
The brilliant features of the day were
the track record victories of Dolly
Spanker in the Pierrepont handicap
and the thrilling contest in the six-fur-
long handicap, which was won by Clo-
ten at IL to l by a head from E. r..
Thomas Reliable, which, in spite of his
high impost of 134 pounds, struggled
all the way and finally went lame just
before the finish, which undoubtedly
cost him the race.
That the miserable race shown by
Blandy is not to go on record without
official scrutiny was made known dur
ing the afternoon, one of the stewards
stating that the colts trainer F. Bur-
came back to the officials that Burlew
was i'll and could not appear. Rumors
all over the ground before the betting
began on the first race were to the ef-
feet that Blandy had worked half a
mile in 4815 seconds and many of the
big bettors backed the colt. In fact his
late races were so good that If he was
fit to race he should have won easily.
