loped under the wire an easy winner OF
the sixth race at the jamestown Jockey
Clubs track this afternoon, scheme to
defraud the hackers of the horse was
spoiled and a gang of sharpers lost heav-
lily. On form The Squire figured to be a
6-to-5 favorite for the race, but 4 to 1
was obtained for the asking. There was
reason for this. During the night some
one got into the horses stall and placed
sponge in his nostrls. with the idea Of
stopping him in todays race. Fortunate
ly the job was done hurriedly, and this
morning while the horse was being
groomed his owner discovered the trick
and taking out the sponge brought it to
the stewards. Nothing was said to out
siders. but close watch was kept on
those VINO took liberties with the horse.
Wolfe, who rode The Squire, took him
to the front at the start, and at no part
of the Journey was he in danger of de-
feat.
