M. Civ.ll, o whom the jockey was nnd r detract, has brju jbt a similar suit in the same court. In pissing, it my bo remarked th it by b rinsing this suit. Mr. Civtll has apparency b irrod himielf from the privilege of bore-af ttr racing his horses over American Turf Congress traoks, through the operation of rule 27, aa adopted at the annual meeting last month, it reaiing: "R tie 27 Any owner, traiair, j "ckey or horse, that shall in any way participate in raciog ader injunction proceedings, or any ownor, traioer or jockey that shall atempt to nullify by legal procesi the rulings of officials in case of frana shall b i birrei from all privileges of tho tracks of this Cnrass. Tnis iuIo to take effect from data of passage" These suits are novelties and if prosscnted to a decision will oe regarded with great interest by all who are in any way connected with the tnrf. The official statement of tbe ruling ff of Dugan was mace pnblic by the judges October 16 in the following terms: "We suspended trainer E. C Blum and jockey J. Dn?an ponding investigation of the running of the horse Harry Natter October 14. To a good etart Dugan took his mount back to fifth position and after pigsint the stand contiuued to pull and restrain his lor at every stride all through tbe bacistretch and aroand tbe turn, swinging inti the stretch with a Btorg pnll on tho horse; he pock-ted him at every opportunity, pnrposeiy b-yond any question of a donbt, and finishing on the rail abont five length bebiLd tbe wint.or. This horse is a g oJ, honest, consistent perform ir as his pdst races indicate, and has shown ability to bo it Croesns at equal weights cn same track in faster time; in fact he holds tbe tracic record for that distance. The horse sbowe i speed throughout the race. Investigation fails to connect trainer Blum with the jockeys actioDS and he is exon rat6d. Jockey Duana rijijg has not been abive suspicion in the past, an i, having investigated the same to our satisfaction, we feel be merits the most extreme puui-hment under the rules, and in accordance with same wo rule him iff the turf. In tbe event that we ate able to connect others dir ctly or indirectly this ruling is to apply to them re pectvely as may hereafter "James H Rees, appear. tj n "HaoEY Kdhl. S Josses."
