ALL WENT DOWN TOGETHER
Horses, Jockeys and Talent Fell
With a Thud.
Gallatin and Minnesota Stumble and Fall On
Their Riders Eeary and Winters-Both
Boys and Horses Badly Hurt

Yesterdays sport at Alexander Island
The first was the going lame of Thurs
ton in his preliminary gaIlop before the
the fourth race, which necessltated his
being withdrawn, and all bets being declared
off.
The second accident, which was quite a
serious one. took place during the running
OF the same race The field ran well
punched to the far turn, where good deal
Of crowding occurred, and Gallatin and
Minnesota went down. Neary was on
Gallatin and Winters rode Minnesota. II
at first looked as If both boys had been
killed outright, but after the dust had
cleared away they were seen TO crawl from
under their mounts.
After an inventory had been taken it was
found that Neary had a crushed ankle, while
Winters had q fractured collar bone and
was hurt internally.
The horses We're both badly shaken up
and il will be long time before they viii
face the flag.
Bets We're declared off in the fifth race
as well as the fourth. Neary had been ell
gagged 10 ride Brightwood and the betting
had been il progress for some time when it
was found that no boy could be procured
10 take his place.
The sensation of the day, however, was
the resignation of GWynne IL TOmpkins,
who has been acting as secretary for The
club.
Tompkins has a stable of horses, aud
said that he could not give them the at
temtiou they needed and do justice 10 his
position. Ralph Boyd, the correspondent
for the New York Morning World, has been
chosen TO fiji the position.
Jockey Wasbburn had lucky day of it,
landing the last three races.

favorite and closed at TO 8. Pilgrim

The latter took the lead at the start.
and beld the advantage TO the head OF the
stretch, where the favorite came through
and won 10y three lengths. Pilgrim was
second, leugtb before Devisee.
Ham was r.ding Imp. Bones and he was
made a 8 10 10 1ayorte. Why this should
have been done is hard TO say, as Venus
burg, who Won the race, beat him the
other day.
Bones showed in front at the start. but
soon gave way TO A. o. H, who led to the
last Wnong and was then beaded by Venus
burg. The latter won al the end by length
before A. o. H., who was a neck in front
OF Linto, a 80 TO i shot.
In the third race Judge Cole was made
a TO lavorite. Il real goo& thing was
sprung in this race. Imp. Savaut was the
medium. and was backed from 10 I
down TO 8 TO 3.
Parthian, a 20 TO ] shot, led To the last
jump, where SaEant got up and Parsons
superior JocEeyship landed the good thing
by a short neck.
After TburstOn was withdrawn Counors
was made first choice, closing at z to l.
At the fail OF tie nag Duffy carried
Leigh out, and cut out the running To
the head OF the stretch At this junctUre
The horse commenced to drop back, and
GaIlopmg King getting up, won by head
from COunors, who beat Leigh by three
lengths.
Little Jim looked to have the fifth event
cincbed, aud was to 10 faYorite.
He was a fit candidate for Patsy Mann's
establishment when It came to racing
The administration Jockey was on him, and
evidently mad his Instructions. Despair,
a % to ] shot, jumped in the lead at the
start, and was never caught AT the
finish il was Despair two lengths before
Ella, who beat Blue Bird by one.
Very Little need be said about the last
event. Bronston was heavily played TO
beat TrincuIo. but the latter ran his usual
game race, and got all the money. West
Side would have won, but Congdon went to
pieces and lost the race by a short head.
Bronstou was third.
