THIRTY LEADING AMERICAN JOCKEYS. The suspension of jockey J. McTaggart by his contract employer, Hugh Penny, has put a new aspect upon the struggle for the years honors among American jockeys.

Butwell is a close third. The record of the thirty leaders from January 1 to and Including the racing of Saturday last, is as follows: Jockey. Mts. 1st. 2d. 3d. Unp. P.C.L.W.
