Boots" Durnell cast aside the cares
and burdens of an owner-trainer-
manager of one of the most valuable
and extensive string of racers at Ascot
and entertained a party of friends,

las night at the Bisbee inn. After the

an automobile journey through the
city.
Jockey Powell was plastered with a
$50 fine for rough riding yesterday, the
Judges deeming his efforts at keeping
Gilpin in an indifferent position worthy
of the money. Gilpin was pocketed for
a considerable portion of the journey
in the fifth race and was several times
bumped until it seemed an impossible
secured the long end of the purse.
Powell had the mount on Xxi, which
finished second.
A tout of undisputed ability in his
special avocation who was recently eX-
posed through these columns, called at
The Herald office yesterday to "eX-
plain" his conduct and secure an
apology from the sporting editor. Inas-
much as he occupies a front seat in the
hall of fame by reason of the fact that
he is the only simon pure tout who has
been successful in operating at Ascot
this season and was caught with the
goods and thrown out of the inclosure
and barred further privileges by the
management and the Pinkertons, he
failed signally to obtain any sort Of
sat tisfaction beyond the requirement of
the freely impaired Information that he
was too light-Weighted to accomplish
anything in the desired line. The avo-
cation of tOuting has suddenly been
given a back seat at Ascot owing to
the vigilance of the management and
the excellent policing by the Pinkertons
under superintendent Seymour Buet-
tier. 1t is the boast of the jockey club
that no race course in the world is
freer of this evil than is Ascot, and the
experience Of the patrons of the track
during the past month is confirmatory
