IMPUDENT JOCKEY DISCIPLINED. Rider Criticises Presiding Judges Placing of His Mount In Race at Marlboro. Washington, D. C, November 17. It was a day of upsets at the Marlboro track. Not one favorite was successful, although two purses went to well-backed horses. The biggest upset of the day came in the closing dash when Elizabeth Harwood. making her first start of the meeting and an odds-on choice, failed to finish better than third, although she led until well into the stretch. The best finish of the meeting took place in the fifth race when Sabo Blend, Royal Onyx, Blue Crest and Bat Masterson finished in the order named, short heads apart. J. Bergen, who rode Bat Masterson. thought his mount had won and when he returned to the Judges stand and found that he had not been placed in the money, he became impudent to Judge Brady, who suspended him for thirty days. Jockey C. Grand was taken ill after the fourth race and canceled his engagements for the remainder of the day. J. B. Campbell, assistant secretary at Latonia and Louisville, was a visitor here today. He came here in the Interest of the Charleston meeting. There will be a sale of twelve horses at the Marlboro track tomorrow. A. IL Chambers of Washington will be the auctioneer.
