HOW THE ACCIDENTS OCCURRED

The racing this afternoon was sensational
in the extreme. M. F. DIVERS 2-year-old
Lovelace was made an even money favorite
in field of II starters in the first race.
Seabright acted as pace maker for five fur
longs and then collapsed. Lovelace finally
landed first place by head from Sport, 10
to /, who came from the rear with winning
rush that would have altered the result in
another stride. Foxhall Keene's Candelabra
was also made the medium of plunge,
going to the post at to s. He also sue
ceeded in winning, but Stonenell, who finish
ed second, was disqualified for bearing in on
Fagot in the last sixteenth. Fagot was
placed third and Charade fourth.
While this race was on Ha'penny
stumbled at the end of the back stretch,
turned couple of somersaults, striking
Midgley, Wah Jim's rider, and cutting his
head open. Ha'penny then fell to the
track and fell on top of his rider, Penn,
who is colored boy, and the same lad that
rode Julio when the latter was killed at
Monmouth Bark. He was thought to be dead.
Ended His Racing Career.
He recovered consciousness in about ten
minutes One of Hs'penny's legs was
broken, and pistol shot ended his racing
career, which has been somewhat of dis
appointment
In the next race, about sixteenth of
mile beyond where Ha'penny fell, War
path toppled over, threw Jockey Sloan,
breaking the latter's collar bone. At the
same instant John Cavanagh was coming
up fast and he, too, went down. Hamilton,
the latter's rider, was somewhat bruised
about the face and head.
Warpath could not get up and he was
dragged off the track. None of his
suffering from the shock. John Cavanagh
was uninjured. Gideon & Daley owned
Ha'penny and Freddy Gebhardt Warpath.
Nomad, the to tavorite, won the race
from the 80 to 1 chance, Cynosure, Nor
dette, the pace maker, being third.
Yorkvilie Belle, Garrison up, and to 2
in the betting, permitted White Rose to
make the pace for seven furlongs. Garrison
then gave the Belle her head and she won
the Clinton stakes in gallop, Bashford
Manor's Ignite, 8 to l, second, and j. E.
Peppers Miss Dixie, 80 to 1, third.
Their Sufferings Were Ended.
The Moyne gelding, to 2, with 921S
pounds made runaway race of the fifth
and beat DIR. Hasbrouck, 2 to 5, by two
lengths in 1:13A. The unnamed gelding
ran the first quarter in % seconds and the
half in AN seconds. Oscar broke away
from the maiden class when he won the last
race from Transit They were equal first
choice at to g. Weather threatening;
track slow. Attendance 1000.
