JOCKEYS LEE JACKSON AND LINTON
RECEIVE HARD FALLS AT INGLESll
Both Riders Are Painfully but Not Seriously Injured
Fossil Beats FauIconbrdge and Other Useful Per-
formers in the Handicap---Lord Melbourne Loses

the third event at Ingleside yesterday,
receiving injuries that will keep them
both on the ground for some time. The
field was composed of twelve fair
platers, and the accident occurred
between the half and three e-eighths of
a mile poles.
Dora /, ridden by Linton, fell when
right among the leaders. Jackson had
the mount on Oscar Tolle, and at the
time was further back in the bunch,
and his mount either was iostled or
fell over Dora l. The two PROSTATE
riders were carried to the track hos
pital Linton had a severe scalp wound
and his cOllarbone was also frac-
tured. Jackson was shaken up and es-
capped with a badly cut mouth and
confused face
Both riders were later removed to
St Luke's Hospital. The race was
won by Mountebank. the favorite,
piloted by Burns, with Evander second,
less than a length before ORC Viva.
Favorites captured three of the six
purses. The most surprising upset of
the afternoon was the defeat of Lord
Melbourne in the final number by the
Oregon horse, Forest King.
HANDICAP FOR FOSSIL.
Fossil, the bush champion ridden
by John Bullman, beat the New York
horse Faulconbridge for the $1,000 han
dicap at one mile and seventy yards.
Fossil carried 10 pounds. gave away
weight to every other starter in the

the clever manipulation of Bullman
when business picked up near the close,
stood a drive and won by half a
length.
Larsen, who rode the Eastern colt,
lodged a claim of foul with the judges
against Bullman. The latter rider GER
tainly did change his course the last
furlong, carrying Larsen and his mount
into the deep going on the rail, but
whether enough to retard his progress
is problematical. Tommy Burns fin
ished third with Divina. Modicum, the
lightweight of the party, appeared TO
poor advantage in the going.
On the strength OF previous grand
performance, Brennus, with Bell in the
saddle, was installed favorite for the
Introductory six and a half furlong
sprint He rewarded his hackers by
winning all by himself. Nullah, at IS
to 1, beat I1liloucn for the place. The
latter received strong support, but WAS
cut off soon after the start and had to
come from far back.
AVENGER IN HARD LUCK.
Avenger appears to be a member Of

had Tommy Burns on his back in the
two-year-old number, decided over the
Futurity course, and ruled favorite in
the betting. Slow to get in his stride,
he came from back in the ruck, running
third to Andrew b. Cook and Young
Pepper, beaten a nose and a head. The
winner, Andrew B. Cook, had Chandler
up and was we'll played at to /.
There were but five starters in the
n-furlong purse event, and Hen
shalfs sprinter Martinmas seemed the
popular choice. He won, but was not
the best horse. Otis had the mount
and while the other riders were chang
ing their minds or collecting their scat
tered senses Otis picked out the driest
going and in a driving finish downed
Arcade a neck. Dolly Hayman ran a
close third under Lowe, and with a
more experienced rider up could have
won without much difficulty. Nerva-
tor died away early under poor rating
Although Lord Melbourne has been
considered invincible over a heavy or
muddy track. Sidney Bender's horse
had to doff his hat to Forest King in
the last race. The distance was one
and a sixteenth miles, and the Lord
had such an extended following that
8 to was the first market quotation.
Later the price heightened to 9 to 10
way into the stretch, but Forest King
had only been joking, for in a mild
drive Bell landed the second choice first
by short half length. Lacy Crawford
ran good third.
NOTES OF THE TRACK.
Bell piloted the first and last winners
of the day. Both of his rides were gilt
edged.
Forest King, winner of the last
event, was boosted $500 over his selling
price of the same amount by Sidney
Bender, owner of Lord Melbourne. The
Oregon horse was retained by his
owner, S. ]. Jones.
Johnny Hoar is getting down to
shortly. Johnny will ride in Russia
next season in all probability.
