LONDON, Jan. 1L A aerlous tcandal promises to develop In racing circles as a result of the Jockey club's action in interdicting: Richard Croker from training- bis horses at Newmarket The I history of the ' affair' given out by 1 friends of Mr. Croker is that when at the Newmarket sale in September Mr. Croker appeared as a bidder for certain yearlings, he was informed that he was opposing Lord Marcus Bereaford, who, it is well known, has entire charge of King Edward's racing stable. This did not deter Mr. Croker, and it was suggested sug-gested to him that if he Insisted in competing he would not be allowed to train his horses at Newmarket. Mr. Croker, however, was not influenced, claiming that Ms conduct was not discourteous, dis-courteous, as he was dealing through an agent who did not know hit adversary adver-sary in the transactions, and merely carried out his instructions. In an Interview in Dublin Mr. Croker said he was still completely in the dark , regarding the whole matter, and expressed ex-pressed astonishment at the fact that the stewards did nol give a reason for their action.
