I JAMAICA TURF NOTES j s Fountain Pen, a three-year-old owned by Max Gold, died at Aqueduct following a morning trial. v Jockeys were notified that all claims of foul must be lodged with the clerk of the scales, who in turn will notify the stewards. Jockeys using whips at the barrier will be fined 5, according to starter George Cas-sidy. John J. Shevlin, secretary of the state racing commission, was a first-time visitor. Trainer Brennan instructed jockey Porter to return to Havre de Grace and Silvio Coucci to Jamaica for Mondays racing. Charley McCullough, of the Arlington Park Jockey Club, was a visitor. Sam Rosoff was also a visitor. John McCosker made his appearance, the first in a year. Dr. F. W.

Village Vamp, owned by Mrs. Frank Colti-letti, was bred to Ha Ha at the Garth farm in Virginia. Louis Strube stated that Rust, which was kicked while on the way to the post in the second race Monday, is the hardest luck filly he ever had anything to do with.
