fRFsCH PARKS HIGH FORM.
Stecplechalng in this country with its low Jumps
and recklessloch who rush stumbling, stumbling,
careless horss the hurdle al full speed, must al
ways be cured with serious accidents. Cross. the
rider Of BobMile. received fatal injuries at jerome
Park on Saturday and Pope, one of the best known
rosscountry rides anywhere about, was badly hurt
yesterday. vhenho flag fell there was mad scram-
BILE for the fist bstace, contemplate three foot
hurdle the fiat, Immediately under the club house.
Ephin was tao fist to roach It, He attempted to
take 1t the runwthout preparation and the result
was a nasty c,oppr, In which Pope came near losing
his life The hore was not hurt.
Pope is a mulato and came from South Carolina.
He was alive but unconscious at late hour and DR..
Bradley did not hink he would die. His facc Is
horribly cut HIS nose is broken and several teeth
are missing 1t said that he backed Elphin TO
win a snug sum sid the horses fall was due TO his
eacerness 10 get long lead in the first urlong and
make a runaway ace of It, 1t is common thing
for steeplechase jockeys TO back their mounts, and
when the flag is given the race resolves itself into
/, scramble for lets. In the dash for the hurdle
Ephin outpacca Glenbar Pope made effort to
heck his mount and did not raise him properly
bckman on Glen)ar was unable TO turn aside. for his
hrse was I'm the air when Elphln went down. aud as
bpc rolled over Glenbar struck him full in the face
fling his mouth with blood and loose teeth. Pope

When the ring that makes stccpechasing Kissing
an reproach get hold of confding young millionaire
Of xcellent intentions and unsuspcious nature, the
traers and riders who lie in walt for every man
vhGgOes down to Jericho with jumping stable
rub ,helr hands and rejoice greatly. Then they

may entirely satisfied with the way in which his
Jumps are ridden. If he Is satisfaction comes to
Mr.. Mgan in an amazingly easy and simple manner.
II sees incredible that a young man who rides so
fooled the stale old tricks of fourishing whip
furiOusl,without hitting horse and pretending to
ride hartwhen real effort is made. But 1t would
be well Mr.. Morgan 10 be alert to remove all re-
prOach fin his stable, to force his jockeys to servo
him loyal and well, to get rid of them. Surely
he does n want to be talked about as the owner
Of TrOmbo, and some other horses was talked about
a few year1ago. No man can afford to let trainers
or Jockeys ,ccive him and play him for sucker"
as the coan but expressive phrase goes in walst.
and on the trf Either make your riders go straight
and strong al try their best TO win put them at
cleaning out tables. That's the only safe rule.
Outside ofihe steepechase the racing at Jerome

did not see hi unnamed Cyclone colt win the first
race much TO te regret of his many friends, for the
coit showed uncommon speed and won with marvel
Ds ease Butthe Master Of Brookdale came later
Trench Park in the Encore Stakes Yet 1t caused
sane sadness ah melancholy the part of the
adpirers of Frqch Park when they remembered
ina this exceleGt colt, who carried 100 pounds and
worm canter Yesterday, handled so bunglingly
by fitzpatrick in the Juvenile Stakes that Mr. Bel
mons Fides, fs inferior ANIMAL was enabled to
makea dead heat With him. Much better twO-ycar-
