Hamilton the colored rider was Incapacitated early in the season by a kick from a horse which came dangerously close > to destroying his sight and In Austria Doggett who returned to this country about a month ago and has been riding fair races here seemed to be unfortunate from the outset Nor did the TValdo brothers broth-ers achieve much but Maher the Relffs Tarall Jenkins Martin Sloan Freeman Thorpe Ross and Hill have hud a most successful season It seems to be only yesterday that the American Jockey and the American I style of riding were the laughing stock of the horsemen of England and the continent Now the American Jockey and the American style of riding are I the wonder If not the admiration of tijc world and In every clime the American I Amer-ican jockey Is sought after as the most valuable of turf possessions Just about live years ago Tod Sloan went to England Sims and Lester Relff had been there before him but neither of these boys was so pronouncedly I American Ameri-can In Style as was Sloan When the Englishman saw Sloan their scorn of his style Inflated them to the bursting point almost Their guffaws could be heard on this side of the Atlantic Their critics likened his position In the saddle to that of a monkey on a slick But within a few weeks Sloan was the wonder of the English turfmen He mode their best Jockeys look like notices he obliterated riding theories that had been cherished for more than a century and his many and brilliant successes were the talk of all England Sloan was the pioneer of an invasion that In the realms of peaceful endeavor was one of the most remarkable witnessed wit-nessed In the century just closed To have gone Into the home of the thoroughbred thor-oughbred and among horsemen who had a calm and Impregnable faith that they were the master horsemen of the world and to have humbled them to have turned their scorn to envy surely was a victory well worth the winning Sloan not only rnnue his own bucccss secure but he blazed the way to auc ross for any number of his countrymen who cared to seek fume nnd gold across the sea ills success created a demand for American jockeys not only In Eng land but nil over the continent because be-cause the story of his skill and his Hue t oat was told on all the race tracks of Europe More than this he helped to pave the way for the American trainer who like the American jockey leads

prominent there Singularly enough n tate practically ImlUr befell both boys although the punishment of rillnsr oft meted out ton to-n lrr ft little more than a month ago Is i much more harsh than the
