turn into tho straight, West End was again called upon to
take the lead, and ho either emoted his legs, or was tripped

cracker," and the two jockeys being hurled from their horses,
remained upon the ground some time. Walter White was
the first to come to himself, and though much shaken and
dizzy from the effects of the fall, he bravely went to the as-
sistance of his brother professional Stevens, who miracu-
lously escaped broken bones, though he was so severely
shaken that he was subsequently unable to ride Emblem in

unfortunate accident Real Jam continued in trent, and won
