I.OCAI. TURF G08SIP. S. C. Hildreth disposed of his good three-year-old McChesney yesterday to P. J. Ryan for 5.000. Mr. .Hildreth stated that 0,000 could not have bouzht the horse prior to his accident at Harlem, f John ATDrake purchased Chinn and Forsy thes two- year-old colt, High Chancellor, yesterday for ,500. Starter Dwyer fined Dominick 0 and Coburn 5 in the stake race. Dominick acted unruly and was directly responsible for the. delay which occurred before the horses were- dispatched. In addition to the above-named boys jockeys Nutt and Perlee were assessed 5 each by the starter for bad behavior at the post in the fifth race. Jockey Buchanan, who rode Jerry Hunt in the same race, was set down for three days and fined 0 by the starter for breaking through the barrier. Considerable ezcitement occurred in the ring just before the fifth race and was occasioned by some one attempting to get away with a handful of 00 bills belonging to bookmaker Fred Cook. The money was grabbed from the bookmakers cash box at a moment when the cashiers head was turned away. The cashier immediately gave chase to the money snatcher and caught him in the crowd. When the man found himself caught he dropped the money to the ground. The cashier was compelled to turn the man loose to protect the money. Apparently all the money was recovered, but when checking up after the last race a shortage of 00 was discovered. This money is supposed to be in the possession of the thief.
