fields. Matte A. and 0itipa meet again on Tuesday
next in the Hunters Stakes when great race may be
looked for and predict that one OF them will be the
winner Of the stakes

win, years old, 100 lbs. The latter the favorte
He was unfortunately cut down in the contest
race won by Piccolo The mischief TO Calvin occurred
in that part OF the track where neither the judges
the reporters can see what going and have be-
fore called attention to the necessity OF having a judge
placed at the half mile POLE that horses would be
nteriered with by malicious jockeys Horses
have been jumped often at this part Of the course
time and again, and there way OF convictng
the jockeys who were guilty they escaped the boy
has probably injured the animal for life Willie Burke
was the horse that jumped on Calvin, and not Madge
gentleman who was near the spot where the
chief done informed reporter but he not
blame the rider Of Willie Burke says the lad
could not have avoided It, The gentleman says that
Swim. after getting clear of Willie Burke and Vassa
just they passed the hafmile POLE pulled Calvin
across the track take the pole they wheeled the
left for the lower turn and that Willie Burke could not
help Jumping on Calvins leg Madge at this time
four lengths least behind Calvin she in the
Of Pccolo, who was two lengths behind both Willie
Burke and Vassal DR.. Cattanack the ground
and he dressed the wound OF tho injured colt and he
give it as his opinion that the tendon was not
entirely severed 1t may knit together and get well in
time but that Calvins racing is probably
forever. The loss OF this colt is serious TO Mr.
McGrath, as he certainly was the fastest one in his
stable Once more we urge upon the stewards OF the
American Jockey Club TO place judge the halfmle
pole the bend around tho hill on which stands the
club house.
