Moon, alleging inter . reituc not only in the straight, but < oming round the last turn. In due cov r e the protest was dismissed, but as t’.o evidence regarding the alleged interference at the home turn prar'ically amounted, in the opinion of (lie stipendiary stewards, to a charge of foul riding, further inestigation was decided upon, when the stewards di qualified G, York, rider of Louis ' rook, and F. Moore, rider of the third ’ orse, Compromise, in Tatetersall’s Hurdle Race, each for a period of two v'' >'R.
