In A SULKY AND FELL.
Kenny Sustained n Broken Collar
Bone and Thigh-NervolO the Only
Favorite to Win-Summary.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Sept. Perfect
weather and track conditions favored the
opening in this city to-day Of the Grand
Circuit meeting and 1900 persons who
gathered at Narragensett Park Witnessed
four superbly contested races. 1t was an
off day for favorites, Diablito, in the 2:2O
pace, being the only one OF the picked horses
to win.
The 2:O6 pace, with a field of eight start
ers, was marred by an accident, in which
Kenny, driver of Prince Direct. was Sc
verely injured by being thrown from his
seat. The horses. closely punched. had
reached 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 somersault- Kenny
struck the ground heavily, breaking his
collarbone and thigh and severely injuring
his wrist. He was removed to a hospital.
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 unfinished
after six heats had been trotted, Nav:5ad
and Cole Direct each having two heats,
while Kamares and Guy Fortune had one
each to their credit.
Every heat was a battle, the sixth being
particularly spectacular. when Cole Direct
won by the closest of margins over ka-
mares and Navidad.
The pace, 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 Diablito, bay mare, owned in
New York, who captured the next three
heats and the race in sensational style
