ing Day at Concord.

Providence, r. l., Sept. Perfect
weather and track conditions favored
the opening in this city, today, of the
Grand Circuit meeting and 5000 people
who gathered at Narragansett park
witnessed four superbly contested
races. 1t was an off day for favorites
Diableto, in the 2.20 pace, being the
only one of the picked horses to win
The FOG pace, with a field of eight
starters was marred by an accident in
which Ren Kenney, driver of Prince
Direct, was severely injured by being
thrown from his seat. The horses
closely punched at the head of the
stretch when Prince Direct caught his
foot in the sulky drawn by Nervolo,
and was thrown so that he turned a
complete somersaut. Kenney struck
the ground heavily, breaking his collar
bone and thigh and severely injurng
his wrist. He was removed to the hos
pital. The horse did not seem to be
much the worse for the accident.
The 2.19 trot, with eight starters and
Guy Fortune favorite, went over I'M
finished after six heats had been trot-
ted. Navidad and Cole Direct, each
having two heats, while Kamaris and
Guy Fortune had one each to their
credit Every heat was a battle, the
sixth being particularly spectacular,
Cole Direct won by the closest of mar
gins over Kamaris and Navidad.
The 2.20 pace, the second on the card,
required five heats to decide. Mary
Anna took the first two heats in fast
time, only to lose the race to Diableto,
Inv IN, 1,rI,o
captured the next three heats and the
race i'll sensational style.
Rowellan, a bay gelding, owned by
