JOCKEY MURPHY BADLY HURT
After a Pretty Race Through
the Stretch With Alard
Sheck and Demurrer

New York, Sept. 6.-An unfortunate acci-
dent which may result seriously in the case
of one jockey, marred the racing at Sleeps
head Bay today. Three horses went down in
heap at the last furlong pole in the first
race, and the only wonder is that their
riders were not killed. The field was well

slightly, ridden by Knight, fell. Beverage,
with Wedderstrand up, turned a complete
somersault over him, and Einus, with Muir
ply up, also plunged into the struggling
mass. When the dust had cleared away the
three boys were seen lying on the track.
Help was quickly at hand and the Jockeys
were carried into the infield. Wedderstrand
was only stunned and showed his nerve by
riding again in the fifth race. knight had
his shoulder sprained, but later was able
to go home. Murphy lay all the afternoon
In unconscious condition and appears to
have sustained a fracture of the skull. The
Pride, favorite of the race, won by a head
from Elfin Conig, well-backed second
choice.
The weather was uncomfortabIy warm
but good-sized crowd was on hand and
enjoyed some high-class sport.
Bellario won the Golden Rod Stakes after
a pretty finish through the stretch with
Alard Sheck and Demurrer. The last-named
made the running for five furlongs, when
the other moved up and after a hard drive
through the stretch Bellario won by one
half a length, while Alard Sheck was the

STATE FAIR OPENS

Guarantee Fund.

FINANCES ARE MADE STRONG

The directors and finance committee of
the Alabama Fair Association held a meet
ing at the Commercial Club rooms last
night for the purpose of discussing the
status of the association.
oliver Chalifoux was selected to preside.
in the absence of President ]. M Falkner.
who was detained in Montgomery.
M. V. oseph of the finance committee
stated that in two and half hours time
yesterday afternoon he raised $1,000 to-
wards the guarantee fund, and that he felt
sure he would raise an equal amount If not
more today. Mr.. Joseph has been giving
the greater part of his time during the
present week to this work and, as usual
when he undertakes anything, he is sue
cessful.
Arranging for Attractions
The subscriptions to the guarantee fund
were enough Tuesday to justify the d.
rectors and the finance committee to
definitely decide to hold the fair here in
November and to contract with an amuse-
ment company for the production of the
Battles of the Nations" during the fair
The same company which will bring that
attraction here will be at the fairs in At
lanta and other Southern cities during
October and November.
Premium List Ready
Secretary John w. O'Neill of the Fair
Association stated last night that he had
the premium list ready for the printer and
that 1t would be ready for distribution in
few days. In the past week he has re-
ceived over two hundred requests from
almost every section of the State for copies
of the premium list. Judging by the large
number of letters of inquiry he has re-
ceived, Mr.. ONeiu says the people of Ala
bama seem to be taking great interest in
the proposed fair.
Ten Thousand Dollars Guarantee
The finance committee of which Mr..
Joseph, Mr.. Jemison, former Mayor Fox
and others are members have undertaken
to raise a guarantee fund of $4,000, and
in soliciting subscriptions to this they as
sure the subscribers that whatever
amounts are subscribed will be refunded
by the Fair Association. In other words,
the subscriptions are merely loans that
will be paid back in full when the fair
is over.
The directors of the Fair Association de-
cided few days ago not to increase the
suggested, but instead to let it remain at
$4,000, all of which has been taken, and
to raise in addition a $4,000 guarantee
fund 1t is estimated that this amount
will be sufficient to meet all necessary ex-
penses prior to the opening of the gates
of the fair.
Colonel Faulkner Today
Another meeting of the directors and the
finance committee will be held in the Com
mercial Club rooms at o'clock this after
noon at which Colonel Falkner will be
present.
BY Monday the association will be In
shape to begin the active work of arrang-
ing for the fair. Contracts for such addi-
tional buildings may be necessary will
then be let and some needed work on the
grounds will be begun.
The fair will be opened on the first day
of November and close on the 10th.
