All sorts OF Tumors were prevalent as to the
scratching Of the colt, but Trainer Matt Allen
said that F~ountalnblue had not wholly re-

other trainers declared that the colt had been

event OF victory he would receive a heavy

run on Saturday. II was also stated that
brady and Allen, having considered the
matter carefully. did not desire to place
Jockey Martin in an embarrassing predica-
nent by compelling him TO ride the colt
again when public scruteny was so intense.

The Jockey Club has decided to saueloh
the practice OF adding horses to stakes at
tho last moment. In justice to the public
1t 10 believed that the posting Of added starters
rat the eleventh hour is not fair. so that when
'thS following notice was posted yesterday
II was generally commended:
1T is urgently requested that owners and
trainers advise the secretary OF starters In
oil stakes by ? p. NJ. on the day preceding
the race. in order that the same may be given
10 the press in time for publication"
Owing to the delay In posting the jockeys
and starters the public has been kept in
ignorance Of the names Of added starters
iuntil they have been laboriously written on
the onlcial blackboard. There were 1ve
added starters In the Sapphire Stakes on Mon
day, the crowd being unAblet TO find out who
,they we're until a few minutes before post
time. The Jockey Clubs request" will
probably bring about immediate results
beneficial TO the best interests OF the turf.
Four Jockeys were suspended for the rest
Of the meeting yesterday. KOerner was set
dow by the stewards for rough riding on
Dinna Ken. while the starter suspended

associates that they could go as far as they
liked with the Meddler horse. as he was never

the ring when the odds had gone up from
even money to 7 TO s and proceeded to get
down a Tremendous wager. 1t was said that
he placed all OF $4,000 himself. which proved
