able riding After one race Higgins, the
lightweight rider, was conveyed TO the
Jockey-rOOm with the toes Of his left foot
broken, bruised flesh protruding through
the torn boot

winch there were only six starters. Of
these Charles ElwoOd, the favorite, and

post and only four of the six took part IN
the race.
