0. A. Burnham'S Horse 'tBaby" Wins the
 COntest-Sad Accident to the Valuable
 TrOtter ssBelIe of Putney."
 Large crowds were attracted to the Boule- yard yesterday afternoon to witness the friendly contest of speed between Rev. M. H. Houghton's horse Henry Thorne, Jacob Broschart's horse Willard and O. H. Burn hams horse Baby. While Mir. Houghton's horse was being exercised before the start the horse cast a shoe. While another shoe was being put on, Messrs. Broschart and Burnham trotted over the course, Mir. Bros- chart coming in first. It was then thought best to postpone the race on account of the absence of Mir. Houghton's horse and the poor sleighing, consequently many of the spectators returned to the city, and among those who came away was MT. Broschart.
 When MT. Houghton appeared on the Boulevard with his horse ready for atart, it was discovered that Mir. Burnham's horse Baby had cast shoe, which was quickly re- placed so that these two horses were given two trials of speed. both of which were won by Baby.
 AS Jacob Broschart and H. l.. Cowell were driving down the avenue behind the we'll known trotter Belle of Putney, owned by the former, horse that had previously made some trouble by baulking ard refusing to start was being driven up the avenue by two men, one of whom was said to be Henry Futile, of Hamden, and suddenly made a fearful plunge sideways, striking the horse Belle with the shaft. The shaft penetrated the body of Belle near the ribs and went through the hip and protruded near the tail, making a wound about three feet long. When the broken shaft was extricated from the suf- fering animal blood flowed freely from where the shaft entered and where it pro. truded.
 The veterinary surgeon Dr. Fl. J. McHugh was on the ground and attended the wound ed horse, which was removed to the hospital stables tof the doctor on State street and from there the horse was taken to her own quarters at the Grand Central stables on Fair street, where she was attended by the veterinarians Dr. McHugh and pr. Sullivan. There is but little hope expressed by the doctors of the recovery of the animal. Much sympathy was expressed for the horse, which is general favorite with those who know of her good qualities, and 8 valuable animal, sestinated worth from $2.000 to $3 GOO. Belle has record of 2:40, but has trotted several heats much faster, and has won many well contested races in several campaigns through Vermont and New Hampshire. Messrs. Broschart and Cowell had narrow escape from injury.
