HORSES FALL At IRON HILL
4 Slippery Track Causes Many
Accidents.
TOMMY 0. DEFEATS TAUNTON.
BOOkmakers Had the Best OF the
Public and Talent, as Only Two
FavOrites Won.

The feature Of yesterdays racing was
the winning of Tommy o, over Mackes-
sy's crack Taunton, but the latter pulled
up lame ON account of the hard track.
There wee two hundred to one shots
landed in the money. One was Starth-
mac who finished second, and the other
was John p, who finished third to such
good horses as Monroe Doctrine and Nell
lie S.
There were four jockeys that fell and
all escaped any serious injury except
Sam Higgins, who had the mount on
Traymore, one of Buffers two-year-olds.
He was taken to the Medico Chirurgi-
cal Hospital in Philadelphia and after
careful examination the doctor said he
had Il slight conclusion of the brain but
would very likely get better.
