J. against tho winning Of the Suburban Handle
cap by A. ehields's Go Between on. the ground
that che son of Meddler-Indigo was not o

read % follows:

blank he did what most horsemen are aoous-
toned to do. He simply filed In the name
Go Betwesn," without stating his sex or
pedigree. Go Between was handicapped TO
carry q certain weight which he carried with
apenaity and won. The ruling Of the stewards
was fayorably commented on by nearly al
the horsemen who learned Of It at the track.
Messrs. Hitchcock and Madden accepted the
decision gracefully and Shields was perhaps
ono OF the happiest men In the world. but

which have been hin many cases framed BY
him. aoted In the interest Of fair play. He
said that he believed the rules should be
enforced to the letter and that the fact that
his horse. Dandelon. ran second and would
have benefited by the ruling out OF Go Be-
tween had not influenced him In the slight est
degree. MIR. Hitchcock said that he hoped
this particular case would be the means Of a
strict enforcement Of the rules In future.
Some time this week Go Between will be
examined by one of the Jockey Cube vets.
That will settle the controversy beyond q
doubt. Shields so far, has not made a state
ment OF any kind relative to Go Between's
condition but horsemen say that II Shields
knew all along that Go Between was not q
gelding and ut the same.time ran him In race
with the usual three pounds allowance he
was indulgng In trickery that did not reflect
credit upon him. But Shields will probably
maintain that he believed that Go Between
was q geldinB all along. Madden. who has
taken a lrm stand In this matter. says that
In his opinion CO Between was never operated
on, In which case It would seem to be up to
C. r.. MoMeekln, the breeder, to offer some
sort Of an en- planation why the racer. as a year
ling, was sold with the understanding that
he was a geldlng.
Tho Jockey Club has olashsd with the
management OF the Brighton Beach track
ever the question Of who shall do the starting
at the summer meeting at the Beach. Some
; time ago G.. j. Fitzgerald. the president Of
the Brighton Beach Racing Association. de-
cided not to reengage Mars Cassidy. Fitz-
T, gerald went to Chicago and signed Richard
Dryer to q conOract to start at the Beach
this year. Dwyer is believed to be the host
barrier handler in America, and his engage
mont was received with much satisfaction
by racegoers. Now comes the Jockey Club
with the announcement that A. b. Dade
will do the starting at the Beach. Dade has
bsen starting at Buffalo and Salem, with only
fair success. He was the starter at the New
Orleans Fair Grounds last winter. Those
who are In o position to know declared yes
terdsy that Dade L. not in the same class
with Dryer. 1t was asserted that the Jockey
Cub had appointed Dade for the reason that
Fitzgerald had engaged Dwyer without first
consulting the powers that be. IT has always
been understood that q racing association.
not one Of the three members Of the Jockey
Club. could engage Its own officials. subject
to the approval Of the governing body. Under
the circumstances 1t looks as II the Jockey
Club. did not approve Of Dwyer. but wished
to have an inferior man handle the gate ut
