JOCKEY IN DISGRACE.
STEWARDS SUSPEND BELL
BObbie Kcan's Form SomerscsIt
Causes Prompt 4ActiOn.

The sudden and remarkable form somersault
OF Bobbie Kean at Brighton Beach yesterday
was so startling that the stewards Of the meet
ing lost no time in suspending Bell the jockey
who rode him. and referring the case TO the
stewards OF the Jockey Club for further action.
On Thursday Bobbie Kean. with ia pounds up.
was badly outrun for six furlongs. but closed
with remarkable burst of speed in the stretch
and beat LOgistilla head the post. He
had been played with the utmost confidence in
spite Of a bad race the time before and his
victory highly profitable for those who were
in the stable secrets The time of the race was
1:454b for one mile and sixteenth. and as Bob
bic Kean was slow 10 move at the break and
was three or four lengths behind the timing flag
he must have run the distance in 1:45 fiat.
He was started right back in the mile and
sixteenth handicap yesterday. with three pounds
less IN the saddle, but he was beaten off some
six or eight lengths by Aeronaut and MaXnar.
There seemed to he little disposition on the
part Of those who plunged on him on Thursday
10 play him yesterday, and after opening at 3 to
2 he drifted back to z to 2. Bell did not wait
with MIN yesterday, but went chasing after
Aeronaut until the far turn was reached, when
it looked as IL he eased him UP. as if fearing
that he was making too much use Of him. He
closed a little ground again in the stretch and
finished third, but far behind the winner which
ran the distance in the same time that Bobbie
Kean had won on Thursday. The form play
ers looked on aghast. and little surprise
expressed when the ruling OF the stewards was
made public.
To those who viewed the race from a strictly
impartial standpoint there seemed to be some
excuse for Bobbie Kean's bad performance. Max
mar appeared to crowd him over against Garnisn
4n the run up the backstretch, which may have
thrown him off his stride, but the interference
was hardly enough to account for his crushing
defeat GaCnish was the real sufferer. as he
was thrown on the fence and practically knocked
back TO last place. After the race ii was found
that his hip was so badly injured that II Will
probably be necessary 10 throw him out of train
ing for some time.
Aeronaut won this race after a mild drive
with Maxnar through the last sixteenth. He
was plunged and backed with the utmost
confidence from 3 to to to ) in spite Of the
fact that he has always been considered
spFinter and not partial TO a distance He gal
loped in front all the way, and while he was
Ilrlng al the end lasted long enough TO win by a
fun length.
There were no fixtures on the programme yes
terday and the sport a whole fell slightly
below the standard Of previous days. Three
1avoriteS. split choice and a well backed second
choice won. so that the players must have had
slightly the best argument with the LAYERS. The
chief surprise came when Sir Russell at 10 TO 1,
beat the odds-on favorite PantOuhe in the third
race The last named made the running, and
appeared TO be winning easily at the last six
teenth pole, but she was probably short, and
began to STOP that Sir Russell, running
gamer than usual. got up in the last few strides
and Won going away. Miller was blamed for
taking matters too easily with Pantoufle through
the stretch. but to all appearances he was doing
his best TO his mount home.
ArirnO and Dashaway were equal favorites for
the first race at 3 to /. but Arimo hung in the
last furlong after racing out with George S.
Davis. and Dashaway. closing strong, won easily
enough from Yankee Girl which made up a lot
of ground, closing from last place at the far
turn. Single Shot beat cheap field in the sec
ond race after a spirited drive with Nemesis,
which Horner made too much use rounding
into the stretch.
Harry Payne Whitney started Fads and Fan
cies and Puritan Girl in the fifth race. Neither
had faced the starter before but it was Whis-
pered about that they had worked fast and in
consequence they were heavily backed and went
10 the post faVorite. Neither showed any
speed, however and they ran in the ruck all
the way. Fantastic. the second choice at 13 to
., followed Allerion closely for a quarter Of a
mile and then taking command came away and
Won easily from Laura A Gold Lady ran into
third place after being last most of the way
Angler the last race at a mile and a
quarter in a common gallop while Tyron, the
early pacemal1er, lasted long enough to beat
