Indianapolis, Ind, Aug ll.-More rec ord breaking and more sensational fin ishes marked the second days racing of the national meet of the L. A. w. A serious accident knocked Arthur Gar diner out of the final of the great American $1,0OO handicap race and nearly placed Plucky Bill Martin hors du combat This happened at the close of the second heat of the contest. Mar tin was at the front of the bunch and apparently winner, when he slipped over the pole and slid along the track Gardiner went over him, Ed. Stevens followed and then Lou Coburn went down in the heap. Cooper and McF'ar- land were in the finish, but escaped spill. Gardiner could not ride in the great final and Martin did so to show his pluck. From sixty yards he gained fourth place. leading the back bunch over the tape. Bald, Foreman, Brecker and Cooper followed Martin. Martin came out as badly a cut and jared man as has been seen on the track this year.
 Fred J. Costello, the St. Louis anna teur, who qualified to-day for the great handicap, took the handicap with Maya of Erie second and l.. s. Hall of Phila- delphia third. The same trio made the back mark men look foolish in the third heat by working together and keeping out of the way. owing to the withdrawal of Gardiner, Bald went from scratch alone, his rival Cooper, have twenty yards. The race was a pretty one, but the generosity of the handicapper toward the amateur in giving him 250 yards enabled the limit men to prevail and to prevent the back men closing in, in the time they cut out. Bald finished fifth in 4:09 a new handicap record by nine and four-fifths seconds.
 Collett, the New Haven amateur, fell in the five mile championship through the foul riding of c. s. Porter, the De- troit amateur. Porter was disqualified for the meet and censured by the chair man. Collett, however, took the quar- ter mile championship, his third win in the championship contests, and with his partner, Hausman, he made it four by cleverly winning the handicap championship of tandem teams at the line distance. Earl Peabody, the Chi cago amateur, took the five mile cham pionship by good clean win, and Ertz and Kraemer followed him across the tape.
 It was the Eddie Bald of old that shot into the lead in the final half mile championship, his first win of championship race at a national meet ing since '95, the starting of his career. Gardiner claimed to have been crowd- ed over the pole by Mcfarland, who took second with Bald, with Freeman third and Cooper fourth, and protested the Californian to the chairman of the racing board. The protest was not all lowed
 In to-day's racing Kimbe of Louis vile did nothing and Taylor failed to qualify for the championship. Stevens and John s. Johnson and Tom Butler again failed to show in the races of the day and Cabanne did nothing At the close of the races Harry Gibson did a miles in 1:45 3-4, the quarter in :26 2-5 half in :52 3-5, and three-q quarters in | 1;19 3-5 He was paced poorly by a tandem and quad.
