JUDGES WHO WERE DISSATISFIED.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

will take place at noon tomorrow.
A lamentable accident, which ended in
the death of Fred Loeber's three-year-old
colt Eacona, by Altoona, out of Ruby, by
Iryington Chief, occurred while the horses
were warming up for the race Thomas
Smith of Vallejo was driving his horse
Columbus the reverse way Of the track
close to the inside fence when Hill,
who was speeding Laeona, came spin
ming down the right way of the track.
Hill naturally expected Smith to pull out,
but he aid not attempt to do so until too
late. and collision was the result, the SHAFT
: Of Smiths sulky going clear through Laeo-
mas nigh-Side ribs and penetrating the lung,
so that he died within an hour. Both
sulkies were smashed to pieces, but the
drivers escaped uninjured. Much sympathy
was expires sed for Mr.. Loeber in the loss of
so valuable a colt. He had recently refused
$1,000 for him.
Tie great race of the day. the 2:l5 class
tr0t, was looked upon as "clneh" for
Richmond JT and so it proved, for he won
1t in four straight heats. This may seem
anomalous, but the judges declared the
third heat off. as they thought that neither
Frank NJ nor Beaury Nc had tried to win
either the heat or the best place. There
was a great sensation when the decision
was announced. as Richmond had been
barred in the pools and Beaury Ne played
bsndily in the fourth heat.
Il was nearly o'clock before the con-
course left the track. THE CALL selected
TWO winners out Of three races.
