CREIGHTON BEACH, July 23.-John
A. brakes 3-year-old colt Ort Wells
resumed his place as the best OF the
5-year-olds now before the public by
winning to-day the $4,000 Brighton
Derby at a mile and q half. run in
2:52 SIS, and defeating s. s Brown :
Broonstick, P. J. Dryers knight En-
rant and Bobadi his stable COM
panion. While Broomstick finished sec
Ond, the stewards did not permit him
TO retain that position. as they prompt
ly disqualified him because T. Burns,
his jockey, had fouied Ort Wells on the
turn into the home stretch the first
time around and further aggravated
it by jostling the other contender,
Knight Errant.
Burns riding throughout this race
was vigorously characterized by hun
dreds Of experts as thoroughly reck-
less and the stewards evidently
thought the same thing, for he was
suspended for six days. Both knight
Errant and Bobadil pulled up lame.
Il was thought that knight Errant
may have been injured when he was
jOstled by Broomstick. The race,
while no doubt was won by the best
colt, was unsatisfactory 10 the public,
as was hoped and interpreted.

stretch, fell at a jump. threw Swabell
