MARRIED BY ACCIDENT.
Bad Mix-up In HaIf-mie Running Race
Warren Wins In 2:20 Class.

Clinton, Sept. 14.-Racing at Worces-
ter East fair was marred by sad ac-
cident this afternoon. in the half mile
running race, in which large field was
entered. The horses made a good start.
They had travelled about a tenth of tne
way around the half-mile track, when
Jackene, ridden by William Champ of
Medford, broke, and in changing gait
stumbled squarely in front of the on
rushing field. On top of Jackene piled
John L.. ridden by William Lyons of
WoOnsocket, r. l., and into the mix
up Lightning Jack, Fred Hall, a Wor-
cester boy, on top. The rest of the held
managed to get out of the way. When
the horses scrambled to their feet il
was seen that William Lyons was in
jured. He was bleeding from the nose
and splitting blood.
There was great excitement on the
grandstand and among the spectators
on the track. The unfortunate jockey
was assisted to the stables. DR.. Walter
p. Bowers was summoned, and ordered
Lyons taken to the hospital, which, for
tunately, was near at hand.
1t was said that Lyons has sustained
internal injuries. His nose is broken.
Jackene, the source of the accident, is
owned in Clinton. The animal was bad
ly Scared, and perhaps seriously in
iured. The other riders and horses ec-
capped unhurt.
The Judges decided that the trouble
was Que to an unavoidable accident,
and gave all the horses concerned per-
mission to continue.
The racing was tame. In both trot-
ting races the winning horse demon
strated an easy supremacy, and kept it
through every heat. There We're 4

breaking of harness. Following is a
