Sporting writers here arc complaining that interference during races is far too common Tbeic was considerable jostling in the Rosehill Guineas, and the connections of Veilmond express the opinion that their horse was deliberately “ dealt with.” The stewards, after an inquiry, found the jockey Simpson blameworthy, and suspended him for two months. Dempsey, the rider of Calmmi in tho same race, said that Ids mount was exceedingly lucky to remain on its foot, so marked was the interference.
