BLoOD-HORsE RACES.
Opening of the Spring Meeting-an Un-
fortnnare Accident.

ACciuCIits
SAN FRANCISCO, April 22d.-There was a
large attendance at the Bay District track
yesterday to witness the opening DAVIS
races of the Blood-horse Association. Not
withstanding the disagreeable weather over
1000 persons braved the biting wind and
found their way to the track. The majori-
ty travelled out by means of the cablecars,
but many drove out in carriages and pri-
vate conveyances. By o'clock the club
house balconies were filled with ladies and
their escorts, and the lower stands and
open space were thronged.
Everything passed off pleasantly enough,
with the exception of sad mishap that oc-
CURED in the second race, resulting in
the death of Sidney Lawrence Marsh, a
young married man, and the injury of
Robert Crooks. 1t occurred Just at the
finish of the heat and within about fifty
feet of the wire. Theodore Winters colt
Don Jose, ridden by Joe Courtney, was
about length in the lead, and looked a
sure winner. Here Courtney drew his
whip and struck him. The horse made a
side jump in the air, and over the low
fence which divided the inside track from
the outside, and fell, which, as a matter of
course, caused him to lose a race which
would have made the snort-end buyers
jubIlant, as he sold in the pools for $40
against 500. Marsh Crooks and others
were standing just inside the fence when
the horse made his fatal leap. Crooks was
struck on the forehead by one of the horses
feet, and knocked insensible, while Marsh
received the full shock of the collision
right in the breast, and died almost in
stantly. Courtney fell clear of the horse,
and escaped with only slight bruises.
Crooks soon recovered consciousness, and is
not seriously injured
The first race, for three-year- olds, one
mile, Haggin's Tennyson won, Lowell's

DEAD BROKE.
Return of the Deluded and shipwrec ecked
treasure Hunters

PROVIDENCE, (R. L., April 22d.-The
schooner Williamine, Captain Babidge,
from Apalachicola, which arrived here to-
day, had on b ard Captain c. P. Ward,
mate B. Barrett, steward Annett, six sea-
men and two cabin-boys of the shooner
yacht aMaria, which some time ago set out
from New York on a mysterious voyage,
the purpose of which was subsequently
learned TO be searching for buried treasure
near Belize, Central America. The treas
ure supposedly amounted to 81 SOC, 900, and
was believed to have been buried there
fifty-two years.
The yacht left New York on October
18th, and reached Belize on January 18th,
and the expedition worked hard until the
middle of March. They made no headway,
because the key where the treasure was
supposed to be buried had filed in with
sand and water as fast as it was scooped
out.
The crew finally attempted to bring the
yacht home, as she was leased and costing
them money. She was leaky, and sank off
the Cuban coast, the crew barely escaping
with their lives. The men were rescued
by ship bound for Buenos Ayres, which
turned them over to The Williamine. They
are all pennies.
