Club yesterday as a result of the extraordinary actions of David Bo land. Cleal Is training the horse for the .Reality stable, under which name John McCarthy runs several horses. David Boland was a redhot favorite in the fifth face and was ridden by Jockey Walter Miller. He reared and plunged about in the paddock as if crazed and danced in a circle and made strenuous efforts to throw his rider on the way to the post. Miller had all he could do to retain his seat, and,; to. get the . horee away f rbm th« post, it became necessary for an assistant starter to take him by the head and ewing^him \u25a0. toward the barrier. -'\u25a0 The? animal t4s in such *n: overwrought condition that It was only by the greatest good fortune. : After the exercise of much patience on \u25a0 the part of the! starter, that he was not l«ft at the posu He had been worn out by his thrashing about in the pad docK and at the barrier and flnisiied in -theruclc. ;. : -- ... -.; - ];'\u25a0:' ': -' . \u25a0' \u25a0.- .: .; ; \u25a0 ; \u25a0";. The stewards, evidently entertaining \u25a0the Idea:, that ..the horse had been drugged, summoned his owner and trainer before them and demanded an : explanation. McCarthy claimed to be ; innocent of any. wrongdoing and said •'.that if the horse had been drugged, as I he believed, the offense was committed ] Tvlthout his knowledge or consent. The I etewards, after hearing what Cleal had j to 6ay, decided to suspend his training license pending a further investigation. ; .) HORSE SUFFERS ACUTELY I W nen tn^ horse .returned to the . weighlng^in stand the officials who ex j amined him found that he was.suffer ' ing- acutely, from an attack of the 1 thumps, a condition" that would follow i the administration of certain powerful ' Etimulants. The Tiorse was in such, a { serious state that the fear was ex j pressed by some of those who examined him that he would not survive. . ' \u0084;.Tbe drugging of a horse constitutes '.one of the most serious violations. -of • the rules of racing and ordinarily car .. ries with its detection the penalty of ..the ruling off of -the offender for life. \u25a0 ] David Boland was ; recently claimed \u25a0 from D.

Yo' tSan, Jake Ward and Dr. Scharff made .' the early pace, but all three- Quit In the «tretchi Judge came from • behind, to ,". the surprise of everybody, and, for getting to stop at the paddock, just did .last to -win 'from the stoutly closing I'm PJoei • ffrincess Wheeler was a distant third .and might have won with more (competent . handling, • the stable boy, -> Rettigi being of more hindrance than \u25a0 /"help to her. \u25a0 \u25a0 ' ;V , '.. BILLY WJLTiaNS SCORE? , . S. C.

Exchequer., a lively looking, but green , colt .from the Keen e stable, gave the winner 'a rub Into the stretch, but found the route a trifle too, long for! a first effort and finished fourth. » The Qrlffln-.-pair, Albia and "Wllmore, took Second and third- money with ease. The winner was coupled .with. Ruth Taylor, as- an 8 to' 5 favorite. \u25a0 Joe Stern put over a good thing when ilitre. played down from 12 , to ?, took", the measure of Mechant, the odds-on favorite, in the second at five and a half furlongs. Miller was up on the favorite and made the' mistake of letting the good thing steal a lead of 6everal lengths in the early part of the race. The stable boy who was up on the winner put up an effort which. If ' not artistic, was nevertheless determined and effective.""" Calmar took f thiTd money after Seven Bells had I curled up. „ - „ I " OAKS WINNER TAKES PURSE Tenordale. winner of the California Oaks a year ago, earned her first brack ets of the present season when, under an Intelligent ride by Brown, she took the measure of a moderate lot In the third event of the afternoon at one and an eighth miles. Brown kept • her within striking distance of Rey Dare and George P. McNear, the leaders, in the early running and made his move in the stretch. Rey Dare ran a greatly Improved race and saved the place from Daniel C, who closed stoutly. Cherlpe; the favorite, with Miller up, was never prominent. Eduardo, played down from 15 to 10, had a flash of early speed, but was coon done. McNear stopped to nothing after showing his Visual speed for a • half mile. Pickaway. neglected In the betting, ; got » flying start and made a runa ) way race of the fourth almost to the end. but was tiring fast and barely lasted- to win by a head from Alice Carey, who finished with unexpected resolution. .Clark was up on the win ner, .-«. nd. gave him a vigorous shak ing up •In the stretch when he at tempted "to lie down. The boy is de serving of 00 small part of the credit for the. victory of the horse. Monaco Maid, played .from 4 to 1 into favor itism, could do no better than third.
