Wall Street market of the stocks and

get it driven into their heads that the

fhe growth and prosperity Of this
srnuntry care very little about the stock
market, whether it goes up or down.

'present arrangements times can be
made hard or eased up through these
great manipulations, but the 4'4fact that

HOR&M[N PRAISE

At last racegoers have a steward who

competent. fearless and energetic. In
Harry Payne whitney. the young multi
millionaire, turfmen recognize the man
who will place In operation the principal
OF the old saying. "All men are equal on
and under the turf"
whitney has been a steward OF the Bel
mont Park track since its opening on
Thursday. In that short space OF time he
has clearly demonstrated that he can see
many things, events that have been OF
common occurrence daily and observed by
rscegoers for years. but which the other
stewards have neglected

eyes OF s. III. Rowland. and his tactics
were 30 crude and plain that every race
goer thought surely the boy would be pun

against Miller however, and habitues OF
the race-track began to believe tho lad

So
August Belmont. who was In the stew
ards stand at the Bennings track, sus-
pended Miller. This gave the latter's
bump OF conceit a shock, but as he subse-
auently came under the eyes OF other
officials he thought he could work hs old
tricks with impunity. Fortunately for the
best Interest OF the turf Harry Payne
Whitney was In the stewards stand, and
he saw Miller deliberately pull Dolly
Spankers head In front OF Holschen and
try TO prevent the latter from winning.
Whitney took the lead IN the action
against Miller. He told him bluntly and
passed and would no longer be tolerated;
that no Jockey had right 10 interfere
with OF prevent horse from winning
and that IL Miller persisted in his foul
riding he would suspend him and suggest
that his license be revoked.
On Saturday Shilling failed 20 take
warning by the lecture read 10 Miller and
he rode In such reckless style that he
placed In jeopardy the limbs and lives OF
