what do you believe to be the mat
ter with your horse, Mr.. Miller2" asked
Judge Hamilton.
"I think some one has drugged the
animal because of grudge against me
Surely some one has got to him in the
stable" replied Miller
The Judge opened wide his eyes and
continued:
"Then you think the horse is
drugged?"
Miller again affirmed the same to be
his belief.
Judge Hamilton then ordered DR..
Young to follow the horse to the stable
and watch carefully that no one touched
the animal.
When DR.. Young returned he was
asked by Judge Hamilton for his YER
sion.
"The horse was stimulated, judge"
replied DR.. Young, very strongly slim
ulated."
"And that is still your opinion, Mr..
Miller" continued the judge. Miller
could offer no further excuse. Judge
Hamilton then let fly his AK.
"You have been caught with the
goods on, Mr. Miller, and your horses
will no longer be useful at Ascot"
Miller approached Judge Hamilton at
the Alexandria hotel last night and
protested again that he was not re-
sponsible for the doping"
The judge merely replied that he
must produce evidence to that effect
If such existed.

choice, was third until the stretch,
where Mcdaniel rode her hard and
managed to get up in time to beat Pala-
