LOCAL TURF GOSSIP. As a sequence of the disqualification of Hermencia yesterday, Buchanan, the offending jockey, was suspended for ten days. The punishment was deserved. A jockey who cannot win through his superior skill and the greater speed of his mount has no right to win by impeding contending horses. The judgea suspended jockey M. Weber indefinitely yesterday for "incompetence." S. C. Hildreth sold Gonfalon yesterday to Harry Robinson for ,200.
