ACCIDENTS ON THE ISLAND
Jockeys Donnelly and R. King Made
Narrow Escapes from Injury.
RoLANDo DIED ON THE TRACK
Rider and Rolando Burst Blood Vessel
Three Favorites, One Third Choice, and
an Outsider in the Betting Were Winners.

Two accidents in the second race at Alex
ander Island yesterday furnished plenty OF
excitement for the time being. Just as the
flag fell Yerbia threw Jockey Donnelly, and
in the back stretch Rolando burst blood
vessel and fell dead. Rolando had run away
six furIongs before the start. Neither DON
nelly nor r. King were hurt. The riderless
yerbia kept up with her field, finishing fourth,
and with true horse sense returned to the
judges' stand in company with the other
horses.
Three fayorites won in Daybreak, Matte
Chun, and Lyeeum, while Dutch Lou, at 10
TO l, and Bessemer, at TO 2 were the other
winners. Matte Chun at 8 to 1 was given an
argument all the way by Queen dor, the lat
ter being beaten only scant half length.
Dutch Lou beat the flag in the first race,
which settled Jim Lambs chances. Potto-
wattomie in the same race was picketed i'll
the back stretch, yet managed to finish close
third
Pickaway, favorite in the fourth, got three
lengths the worst of the break, and sweryed

won easily.
The bleachers had a fair representation Of
the rooters, who, when the Senators scored in
the sixth. were vigorous IN their applause.
Abbey covered himself with glory by his
clean fielding and his one hit brought In a
run. Mcclure made amiserable throw in the
first in an effort TO catch a man at third, on
which two men scored.
1t was not until five innings had been
played that the Senators scored. Shiebeck
led off with single, and on Joyce's single he
went 10 third the batter going to second. On
Hassamers put out b Shiebeck scored, and
joyce tailed on Abbey's out to Lange The
home team scored three more in the eighth
when Mercer singled, Shiebeck went to first
on Irwin's error, and after Joyce went out
Hassamer drove one over Wilmot's head for
three bases. Roaring Bill scored on Alb
bey's single.
Chicago scored five runs in the first inning
