Garnish ran without blinkers in the fifth
race at Brighton yesterday and In conse-
quence was never prominent. Thfough
mistake, Lyme weighed In without them,
ana although permission was asked of the
stewards to put them on 1t was not grant
ed 1t may be recalled that Garnish al

at Brighton yesterday. Hicks. who legstt-
mately ought to weigh 100 pounds. reduced
to III and rode Merrick at four pounds over

stall a day before the race, but that it was
thought that the injury would not interfere
with his winning, though the animal was
not regarded by his owner and the estab-
lishment good betting proposition. The
investigation ended there.

dale Nymph Is regarded as one of the stars
of the Harry Payne Whitney stable yester-
day when Trainer ]. W. Rogers called
Jockey Hildebrand to account for unduly
slowing up the filly In the race that she
won. Mr.. Rogers was under the impress
sion that Brookdale might have won much
more easily had not Hildebrand made so
much use of her early speed, but the idea
that went about after the jockey had been
called to account was that the trainer was
dissatisfied because the filIy won too far Off
An earlier tip on Brookdale Nymph was

best tried of the Brookdale horses but ar
