standing. Lttlefeld fell with much force and was
taken UP insenabe. This is the third bad fall which
bs has received In his career as Jockey. DR.. Has

starter to and from the scenes OF his duties. lie
decided that no broken, aud conld detect
M evidence OF serious Internal injury. Littlefeld
recovered consciousness in the clubhouse but too
dazed and overcome by shock to give any account OF
the accident. Patrol Judge Fitzgerald thought that
Reckon crossed legs ripped stumbled. Sleipner
was close behind her and fell over her. but Hayward.
eeipners jockey fortunately escaped injury. Reckon
and slepner appear to be dangerously damaged
nv their falls but Reckon seemed to have burst blood
vessel IN some part OF he race as her nostis "ere
filed with blood.
HAYWARD told John A. Morris after the race that
there was much crowdng and jostling on the part
n, the Jockeys when the accident occurred, and the
stewards OF the meeting met and questioned all the
Jockeys excep, Dttefeld, who was unable to make
statement. From the admissions OF the jockeys 1t
vss gathered that COvington on Wah Jim was doing
come reckless riding when Reckon fell, and that some

of his riding, similar to the House of Refuge and the
Vestchester Protectory, which aim to reform the
morals OF boys that in many ways similar to
Coyington, the turf would be the gamer. The
stewards warned all the jockeys against foul riding and
reckless riding and deferred further action until
Lttlefeld should be able 10 tell his story.
IReckon and Slepner had not fallen Z ere Is reason
to believe that the finish between DR.. Hasbrouck,
Reckon Sleipner and Nomad would have been most
thrilling They were all we'll matched at the weights
and the distance. Michael F. Dwyer underestimate
the chances Of Nomad, and did not put a dollar on
him for first, second third place. He told all bis
friends not to back him. Nomad was ridden hv Cox
