TILEING A GOOD THING
WINgS Corona STAKES.
e.. ttSscdin Gets Fail Where Sumter
), Has Injured on Thursday.

TTleng turned the tables Juggler In the Corona
Stakes at Jamaica yesterday. and Jimmy McCor-
mick and those who followed his lead made a
cleanup the rail birds say. by backing him
from 10 TO II TO 10, In the face Of this plunge
Juggier, which looked like a legitimate TO sho
went back ia the betting to even money. He was
stiff and in his warm up usual but his easy
victory Tileing ct Aqueduct at practically the
same weights made many go TO him at the price.
The sharpshooters pointed out in justification for
betting Tfeing that he pinched off and
crowded back when Juggler went TO the front at the
sixteenth pole I'm their meeting. and this dope
appeared correct after the over yesterday.
Tileng forced the pace and under mild
hand ride
Only three horses went to the post. and Juggler

passed Sir Toddington and tried his best 10 wear
Tileng down. There those who saw cause
for investigation I'm the thought they
did but ii did not appear to be justified. A rheu-
matte horse, Juggler is well known to be, can
not always be depended to run to his best FORM
and then too, some improvement in Tileing could
be looked for. Juggler the Corona Stakes last

Guy Burns suspended for five days by the
starter for breaking through the barrier with Sir
Toddington in this race. The punishment was
merted to all appearances the boy tried to
stall the starter and get a running break. AS he
had been warned before Mr.. Cassidy lost no time
in reporting 1t to the stewards. who confirmed the
suspension
Inc last race was marred by another accident.
Miss Battenberg fell just after the start and G..
Swain had narrow escape from serious injury
He escaped with a shaking up being luckier than

dent Walter c. Edwards. the racing secretary of the
Metropolitan Jockey Club, announced that hereafter
all races for two-year-olds would be at FIVE fur
longs at Jamaica as the start for the four

sible for both accidents. it thought which led

gramme at four and a half furlongs must be run at
that distance
Preceptor. big rangy two-year-old, won the
first like better colt than his races at

the front at the start, and picking out the best
going was supremely confident all the way. Turn

vorite, moved up the rail. but Preceptor quick
ly shook him of and came away win easily

his last race, when he with a lot of interfer-
ence. Indomtable had early speed. but gave it up
suddenly at the head of the stretch having been
carried along too fast
Triumph, played for a killing in a race at Aque-
duct when Garner did everything but fall off. was
graduated from the maiden class in the second
race Notter had the mount yesterday and he
worked the colt to the front rounding the turn,
and then sat still and let him romp home. Frank
Farrelrs Almandine came along in the stretch
after overcoming some interference and ran well
enough TO indicate that he will be earning brackets
shortly.
Light Wool, rated fair horse in California last
winter, made show OF his field in the handicap
at one mile and sixteenth His AQue-
duct was nothing to boast Of but Improvement was
anticipated, judging by his strong support in the
ring Berkeley the favorite but he had no
chance TO beat Light Wool at the weights even
If the latter had not got off running after acting
badly at the post. The four horses strung out
about three lengths apart in the first quarter; the
race was a procession and there were no changes
in position thereafter.
Jimmy Mccormick said yesterday that Sumter,
who was injured when Patriot fell on Thursday
was out of danger, but still suffering from many
bad bruises. He is in the Brooklyn Hospital but
hopes to be discharged in two three days.
