There have been 80 many rumors Of the
use OF ct imulants lately that the stewards OF
the Brighton track rot busy yestetday with
the result that the entry OF w. Kunse's Beard
al. a starter In the hrst race. was refused for
the rest Of the meeting. while tho license OF
Trainer A. Carter was suspended and his case
was referred to the Jockey Club. Beardall
came out OF the paddock "steaming" He
looked and acted like a crazy horse and
Garner. who had the mount. seemed fearful
that he would be thrown. The horse at
tracted so much general attention that the
stewards decided that something was wrong
with him, and after the track veterinary had
made an examipation Of the animal the above
action was taken. Carter denied that he had
used dope aud said that tho horse was
simply bad actor Other more prominent
trainers have been suspected Of using stimu-
lants and it Is said that the stewards have
placed them under surveillance.
jockey o. Heider had narrow escape from
fatal injury when he fell with Rohador In the
steepiechase. Robador turned q complete
somersault and crushed Htider beneath him.
The Jockey was picked up insensible and a
hurry call was sent for the track ambulance.
was taken to tho emergency hospital with
all possible speed. There the physicians
found that no bones had been brokon but that
Heider was simply suffering from shock.
He was able to go to his home last night.
The steeplechase events at the Beach are
attracting so few entries that II Ii believed
the management would make d wise move
by cutting them out altogether. By substi-
tutng race on the fiat the poor owners would

while the general public would be better salts
fed. Some of the cross-country events
lately have been OF the poorest quality. They
have caused much unpleasant comment and
racetrack patrons have lost confidence in
this branch OF the turf as result. q
Thomas Welsh, the part owner Of the New
castle Stable. has purchased the t~o-year-
old colt Uncle Jim, by InRoldsby-Miss
Modish. from J. A. Bennett for $500. It Is
said. Uncle Jim ran some excellent races
early in the season. but he has not faced
the barrier for some time. Welsh will race
him In his own name7and coiors.
Little Upton rode two winners. Black Mary
and Frizette, yesterday In clever style. This
boy has come to the front In rapid strides.
1t was only few weeks ago that he began
taking important mounts and he rode In
such poor form that the mere Announcement
Of the fact that he had mount prevented
persons from betting on his chances. But
Upton has persevered in spite Of discourag-
ing criticism and Ia now highly regarded.
He put UP great driving finish on Black
Mary. outriding such experts ss Mcdaniel
and Miller.
Miller came in for some harsh criticism
from Trainer Brooks after his ride on Zienap
In the fourth race. Brooks, who trains
Zienap. wanted to know why Miller took
the mare up on the lower turn and then lay
away out Of the race in the run zip the back
stretch. Miller retorted with the statement
that Ziepap had no speed and that he had
to Use his whip to get her to extend herself.
Brooks, however. insisted that Miller's ride
was contrary to orders. The race had a queer
look from various points Of view. The fact
that the sharks did not see anything In the
race but Tony Bonero caused many sceptics
to say the words "Shoo In"
The crowd was a bit isappointed when
James a. Keene's flly Wedding Bells. by
Ben Brush-Runaway Girl, was scratched
out Of the last race. II is said that this Ally
Is the best In the Keene stable and that she
may be starter In the Futrity. With
Wedding Bells out of It, however. the ex7
perts figured that the race was between
II, B. Duryea's Summer Night, by Star Shoot
Blue Mass. and A. B. Spreckels's Cotytto.
by Solitaire 1.-THE Peeress. both of whom
were quoted at = to n. Cotytto was gaining
on the pacemaker at the end of the far turn
when she suddenly bolted to the outer rail.
1t was the opinion that Cotytto might have
won but for this mishap. Civita. who ran sec

and is a half sister to Blues and Blue Girl.
She had worked we'll but ran green.
when Robador fell In the steeplechase a
colored stable boy caught him and rode him
over the rest Of the course for third money.
But as he did not take one OF the obstacles
on the backstretch he got nothing for his
pains
H. P, whitney has decided to have the mare
Flip Flap trained for some OF the long distance
events to be run In the fall Mr.. Whitney
purchased Flip Flap from George Lansdon
last year and sent her to the stud as she was
supposed to be on the verge Of n breakdown.
But the mare showed later on that there was
nothing the matter with her 80 II was decided
to send her to the races again. She will be
shipped to Saratoga and Trainer Joyner
will take her In charge. All Of the Whitney
horses are at Saratoga now getting ready
for the meeting which opens there on July 3d.
John Z. Madden is also at the Spa with all
OF his cracks. Madden has left few horses
here to race at the Beach and they will be
trained by H. r. Brandt, who saddled Chape-
ron for the second race yesterday.
The first race yesterday was puzzle to
students Of form. While Arasee looked to be
the hest Sanguine. Great Pirate, Whip Top,
Cymbal. Gowan and Black Mary were all
well thought Of. Black Mary won her second
consecutive race In the name Of MIR. Cuire."

color was supposed to be a sure winner OF
the second race. McGinnis said 80 and his
friends followed his lead. But the colt did
not seem to be anxious to leave the barrier
when II went up and for that reason he was
badly beaten. Rasman was the logical
favorite and the form students did not neglect
him. ~
Just as the horses were going to the post
for the last race small hurricane swept
clouds OF dust over the back stretch and
straight toward the grand stand. The crowd
Of oral bettors on the track lawn" saw the
storm approaching and be gan to cast long
ing looks In the direction OF the deserted
betting ring. But nobody made rush for
that once popular place. instead there was
scramble for the grand stand, where the
women were hysterical. The race WAS run
in the dust cloud and after that che rain fell
In sheets. As the crowd had to 60 nearly Q
quarter of mile to the B.R. r. station. many
looked as II they had Just emerged from the
