Hoyal II.. winner of the I.ntonia Derby last year, won from Dorothy I leu n and Dr. Carmen. The victory of Royal II. was attended with considerable luck, as Dorothy Dean and Did. lencc would both have finished in front of him with equal racing fortune. Indolence particularly suffered when The trader bumped into him. Weather and track conditions were again ideal and a hi; crowd witnessed some excellent racing. The betting was again of voluminous proportions and the resuUs formful. A charge brought by jockey W. Andrews against E. T. "niton that the latter had offered him S200 not to win with Howdy Howdy on the occasion when that horse was beaten by Mabel Dulweber. was intiuiied into by steward Thomas J. Clay and his associates, with the result that they did not consider the evidence sufficiently conclusive to justify the ruling off of Colton. "It is onv mans word HfutUkt another." said Captain Clay. "And while We give Andress statement due consideration, still it lucks corroboration and we dont feel justified in ruling Colton off on the mere statement of the jockey. We shall warn Colton. however, that he must keep away from jockeys in future if he exited* to race in Kentucky." Secretary .1. D.
