Mr.. Taylor's Friends are Pleased at
His Reinstatment.--The Baltimore News
says Mr.. Robert M. Taylor, so well known in
Baltimore and vicinity for his powers in the
field of gentlemen riders, has been restored to
favor by the National Steeplechase and Hunt
Association, the organization which about two
wears ago took away his certificate and refused
him the privilege of riding as an amateur on
the tracks under its jurisdiction.
Mr.. Taylor's suspension by the Steeplechase
Association was something OF star-chambel
proceeding, and has been severely criticised by
horsemen and horse folk generally.
No reason for its action was ever given oui
by the association, and Mr.. Taylor was never
granted an opportunity for hearing.
The young Marylander has always commended
that he never violated the rules of the associa
ton, and has always lived up strictly to the
amateur requirements.
Ever since the suspension Mr.. Taylor has
been hard at work to get himself righted. Ht
has withstood all sorts of pressure to follow in
the steps of Harry Stone and enter the ranks
of the professionals, and has Steadfastly de
cIared that he would ride as an amateur or moi
at all.
This action of the Steeplechase Association
will be received with much satisfaction by Bal
timoreans, who have always THAT "Bobbie'
