ELECTRIC SADDLE
DISCOVERED AGAIN
Jacksonville Has a Big Scandal On
and Is Making an Elaborate
Investigation.

JACKSONVILLE Fla. Dec %
Horsemen at Moncrief park are strictly
up to date. Unable to provide wings
for their racers ana have them fy
a la mode, they have adopted the next
best speed producers saddle with
the electrical appliance attached. BY
means OF this contriyance the speed
OF the racer is increased or decreased
at the will OF the jockey.
This revival OF the old electrical APP
pliances used in a race horses saddle
during the days of racing at Gutteu-
berg was recently introduced into the
game here. 1t had been in operation
only few days when the officials
were tipped off" regarding it, Since
then they have had several investiga-
tons. Today they posted a notice that
its use was strictly against the rules
OF racing, and that any one found
using IL or having a saddle In his
possession which could be used in CON
junction with wires, dry batteries, etc.
would be ruled OF.
The investigation on this speed-pro-
ducing saddle are still on. IL is said
here that the officials will probably
give a OH TIC lut

ity state that a prominent owner and
Jockey are involved. II the men I'M
der suspicion are found guilty they
will be debarred from the track and
the ruling against them forwarded to
all racing associations.
The electrical appliances for racing
purposes involve either a saddle with
battery or a storage battery and wires
The current is transmitted 20 the
spurs of the jockey by aid OF an in
sulated wire running down the riders
leg inside OF the boot. Every time
the jockey iabs the horse IL receives
a slight shock. This unusual sensation
causes him to bound forward at top
speed. For horses of sluggish disposi-
tion It is most effective in rousing him
