SARATOGA, Aug. 2.--The ste wards OF the
meeting made an odd ruling to-day. wn'ch
has caused world Of adverse comment. Dur

chase to-day Mr.. Cotton was represented
by two starters. the imported jumper sea
Horse H., for whom he paid $4,000 In Eng
land not long ago. and Alamansor. When
Sea Horse II. came back to the scales after
finishing second under a bunRlinR ride IL
was found that his Jockey. Rogan. had lost
lead pad. Under the rules there was nothing
left but to disnliaiify Sea Horse H.. and the
same ruling was expected in the case Of Ala
mansor. who had run third. Rut strange TO
say the stewards lost sight Of the rule covering
such cases and placed Alamansor second.
One OF the stewards explained afterward
that disaualihcatons covering horses run
in the same interests in steeplechases were
made at the discretion OF the oflcials In the
stand Rogan's ride on Sea Horse ii. caused
the tongue Of scandal to wag. Apparently
he did not try to do his best. for the English
Jumper was simply sallopins UP TO the last
