Eugene Hldeb brand. considered by many
turf experts to be the best jockey In America
has been suspended for the remainder Of the
Gravesend meeting by the presiding stewards
and his case has been referred to tho Jockey
Club for further action. The stewards an
nounocd yesterday that after Weighing all
the evidence they had reached the con-
clusion that Hildebrand's ride on II. P. Whit
ney's Dnenna In the first race last Friday
was grossly incompetent" and for that
reason the boy would not be permitted to
ride again under their Jurisdiction. It will
be recalled that the race In question was won
by Last Cherry. who was heavily backed.

Hildebrand came back to the scales with
one foot out OF the stirrup. When asked

Hlldebrand had acted In collusion with him.

local tracks, quickly leaped Into favor His
riding was so consistently good that he soon
replaced Willie Shaw as the regular stable
Jockey for H. B. Duryea. When the season
closed here HIdebrand had long lead over
the other riders in point Of SUCCESSFUL mounts
and then went to Los Angeles for tho winter
meeting,
In tho entire year OF 1904 he rode nearly
800 winners, establishing a new worlds record
In this respect. But before the Los Angeles
