A YANKEE SENSATION.
H. Randall, who was associated with Sceptre in her recent wins, had the mount on a colt called Racine, belonging to the American sportsman Mr F. Gardiner, in a race at the Lingficld (Eng.) meeting on Ju-ie 10. Kacine was defeated by three narte of a length, after coming with a late run. After the rac-3 the stewards held an inquiry into iiandall's riding, and suspended him for the remainder of the meeting. The stewards of the English Jockey Club subsequently held a meeting on the matter, and the evidence was so conflicting that, though eventually they acquitted the jockey of any dishonest intentions they stated that the cass was a very proper one to be brought before them by the Lingfield stewards. This is the case which the American papers had cabled to them. It was crated Randall was in realfity disqualified for pulling Sceptre in the Derby, and that the Lingfield suspension waa merely an opportunity tc punish him for his handling of the Derby favourite As the suspension was for a couple of clays only it was probably a cue of making a mountain out of a molehill.
