ny HENRY v. KING.


The stewards OF the Jockey Club did
some housekeeping yesterday. They
revoked the licenses OF three noted
Jockeys, Buddy Ensor, Arthur Collins
and G. Yeargin. Collins and Yeargin were
placed under the ban on the recon-
1nendation OF the stewards of the Sara
foga meeting. The authorities did not
like the way Yeargin rode Leathcrface
in the third race at Saratoga on August
%. when Natural Bridge galloped in
front all the way and won easily. Neither
did they like Collins's handling OF Saddle
Ring at Saratoga on August 81, when
Nolawn was returned the victor.
Buddy Enscr's case was different. He
was punished for his bad behavior. He
was not accused Of anything bordering
on crookedness. The stewards said they
were tired suspending him for misbe-
havior on and of the turf. When he
was reinstated last spring the authorities
warned him that ii was his last chance
and told him that IL he erred again he
could consider himself automatically
suspended. The lad fell from grace at
Saratoga and has been on the ground
since.
All racegoers agree that Ensor de-
served punishment all agree a suspen-
sion for meeting was not sufficient, but
there are few who will say he should
receive the same punishment as those
who are charged with more serious
offence. A suspension for a year would
have pleased the majority OF followers of
the turf better than the revocation of his
license along with Yeargin and Collins.
Punishment Of several other Jockeys
was considered at the meeting. Three
of them are ranked among the best on
the turf. The authorities did not like
the way they have been riding. but post
poned action for a while TO get some
evidence to show that their efforts were
worse than bad. 1t Is probable that at
least two OF them will be placed under
tho ban at the next meeting.
The stewards also listened to some
complaints against several trainers and
two or three Of them undoubtedly will
s find themselves without license before
the end OF the season.
w. r. Mizell. the trainer who has
been under the ban for u long time
applied for reinstatemeent. but his ap-
pncation was denied. Among the horses
Wnich ne sent to the post at various
times We're Robert Bradley and Dan.
The racing at Aoreduct yesterday
