whose duty consisted in looking after

low the switch where the cars meet and
pass each other. 1t will probably never
lie known just how The accident occurred
The snpposition is that he was riding
on the up-going car, or was on the
track and WAS struck by it, as his hat
was found in the car and the broom
with which he swept out the cars at the
ore house WAS found fully hundred
feet up the track. But the manner OF
his being crushed and mangled WAS
clear. being witnessed by Edwin Wood,
an employee of the Company, who hap
pened to be on the loaded car coming
down. Wood says that when coming
down, he saw Miles lying scaoss the
Track and shouted to him; that he WAS
still alive but helpless, as he raised his
head before the car struck him. His
body threw The car off the track and
Wood struck the ground twenty feet

1t seems alr-o st a miracle that he should

FUTURITY A RICH PRIZE.
Owners of Lucky Two-Year-Olds
Win PrinceIy Sums.


Win PrinceIy Sums.
The Futurity Stakes Is essentially
lottery. In no other stake does the ele-
ment OF chance enter 80 largely. Breed
ers all over the country enter the produce
of their mares by subscription OF $40
each. and until the following year and
after the stake is closed no one can tell
whether that produce will turn out good
Or bad. An added value is thus given
the youngsters at the yearling sales.
This stake originated in the fertile
brain of ]. G. X. Lawrence, President Of
the Coney Island Jockey Club. and it
met with such favor that at its first
running. In 1883, its value to the winner
was $4,000.
In 1889 the stake was even more valu-
able. and in 1880. when the late August
Belmont's Potomac and Master ran nrst
and second. the winner received $3.50.
euualled 1t Is estimated that the stake
will be worth at least $65, 900.
During the first four trimmings OF the
Futurity the distance was three-quarters
of a mile. This made the horses fnish
some yards below the judges stand. In
1892 this course was changed, and the
Futurity course, 1888 yards, l foot, was
substituted. This enabled the youngsters
to finish in front OF the grand STAND,
and 1t also prevented jockeys from max
ing costly mistakes by pulling up before
the real finish was reached.
The following table may be interesting
