SARATOGA, Aug. Hackers of fav-
orites Jared very badly at the track this
afternoon. as upsets came one after an
other. High Chancellor, equal chance
with Wax Candle, was the only thing in
the way of a favorite to win.
The track had dried out well over
night and was in good condition, but a
trife slow, which helped the racing in
terest Though the weather was cloudy,
the attendance was large.
The closing race, which was won by
High Chancellor. saw the popular light
weight jockey, Jack Martin. have close
call from death, and how he escaped is
a miracle.
Ten two-year-olds took part in the
race, with High Chancellor and Wax
Candle-the horse Martin rode-equal
favorites, while there was also j big
play on Cinauevalli and Forward.
After the start was made, High Chan
cellor and Wax Candle went to the front
and raced head and head.
Wax Candle Gees Down.
Just before the last furlong pole was
reached, while the two were still close
together, Martin drew his whip, which
caused the accident, for the colt turned
and crashed into the fence. Martin was
thrown right INTO the path of the other
horses and there did not seem a chance
for his escape from the flying hoofs
about him. He was picked up unccn-
scious and carried to the Jockeys room,
where he revived in few moments, and
an examination revealed that his only
injury was bruised knee.
After the accident High Chancellor
drew away, and won easily by four
lengths from DR.. Saylor.
