BY FOREST LOWRY.


BY FOREST LOWRY.
Green B. Morris, owner of Gold Rose,
who is now racing at Ascot, probably
the oldest trainer of thoroughbreds in
the country, a man who won in three
seasons nearly 100000 and who has
Paid during his long career upon the
turf 100000 in entrance money to the
various racing associations, is the
latest victim of the Eastern Jockey
clubs sudden decision to enforce the
rule pertaining to delinquent horsemen
who are on the forfeit list.
A story from the east is to the effect
that for $40 entrance fee at Ben
nings track, that became operative
when he made nomination in a stake
two years ago, his recent offerings from
California were rejected and the OPP
portunity to race his horses in the east
in the rich events this summer denied
him.
In 1902 he had entered colt called
Gypsy Ben in the Dixie stakes, which
were to be decided in 1904 at Bennings.
The colt was failure and had passed
out of his hands, but under the rules
he was liable for the $40. This fee he
had forgotten.
A charge against Morris was made
on the books of the Washington Jockey
club for $40. 1t is customary at the
CLOSE of meeting to notify horsemen
who are in arrears. Morris claims that
this was not done, and he, not knowing
that he owed $40, or that the jockey
fees before accepting an entry, sent
number of nominations to the racing
secretaries east, all of which were re-
jected.
Favorites Fare Well
The general aspect of affairs at Ascot
yesterday showed considerable i'm
provement, and the big crowd, more
than half of which were women, spent
a very enjoyable afternoon. The first
three favorites Jared well, and nobody
appeared to be particularly to blame
for the bad luck of the next three
The ride which McDaniels gave Dur
bar in the last race was not brilliant
one by any means, but nobody was
disposed to accuse the boy of anything
worse than unintentional blundering.
The boy simply made too much use of
the Curl mare early and when the run
for home began she had nothing left TO
stall off Bugle Horn and George Berry.
Bandillo burnt up some wise money
ir the fifth race by stopping to nothing
in six furlongs. What was evidently
L. Perley in this same race. He was
well played at post time and ultimately |
won by rather a narrow margin, but |

stretch run almost nipped the winner
Mcintyre was slow to get his mount |
going and had to take the overland |
route. Bandillo set all the early pace
but blew up when Frank Perley got
along side. Pruewood, played heavily
for the place and show, got into the
running through the stretch and got up
in time to secure third money
Beat First Race
The hackers picked out the right one
the very first roll out of the box in the
six furlongs selling race with which
the days sport opened. There were
ten starters and Estrellada was made
favorite at to 5, while Aminte and
Isabute were the best backed among
the others. EstrelIada broke out in
front and was never headed after shak-
ing off Limb of the Law. Aminte,
away none too well, came up with a
rush and snatched the place from Isa-
butte. The latter looked to have a
chance at the head of the stretch, but
tired badly in the final strides.
Doctor C carried nearly all the
money of the heavy spectators in
the one mile selling race for three
year olds for which nine paraded
Mart Gentry closed at to 1 and Cotil-
lion at to 2, but just before post
time there was a sudden and heavy
play on Doctor which sent his price
from to l down to to 1. Mart
Gentry had not few followers and
he flattered his hackers by cutting out
the early pace and showed the way TO
the head of the stretch. He got enough
before the paddock was reached and
did not have enough left to hold
Dixelle safe for the show. This trick
ran nice race considering that she
met with much interference on the
first turn. McDaniels on Doctor C
rated the colt to perfection and avoid
ed all the early pace. When ready he
