ROUGH RIDING.
Jockey Kelly Had Narrow Escape at
Gravesend Yesterday.

Jockey c. Kelly had a narrow escape
from death in the last race at Gravesend
yesterday. He had the mount on H B.
Durham's Top Right in a field of thirteen
starters. AS the horses reached the lower
turn half of the Jockeys were whipping,
with the idea Of getting to the front in or
der to secure the coveted rail position. 1t
was wild scramble, and the women, fear
ing an accident, cried cut in alarm. Sud-
denly there was a jam and Top Right was
thrown heavily against the rail. The coll
lision was SO hard that the colt went down
in a heap, Kelly disappearing under the
flying feet Of the other racers.
When the cloud of dust cleared the boy
lay motfonless on his side He had been
trackmen rushed toward Kelly from all d.
rections. When they reached him he was
unconscious. He was deathly pale, and
blood flowed from several cuts on the head.

turf to await the coming of the track am

The man was the father of Redfern, who
had the mount on r. T. Wilson. jr.'s. Sill
verfoot. wearing colors so similar to the
Durham jacket worn by Kelly that Red
fern, ST., had mistaken them. When he
reached Kelly and found that his son was
uninjured Redfern wiped the Precipitation
from his forehead and said:
IT will not get over this scare for q
week"
Kelly was lifted into the ambulance and
hurried to the Jockeys room in the pad
dock Dr. E. H. Hoxie the track physi-
clan, made a hurried examination and
found that Kelly was suffering from COM
pound fracture Of the left arm, and was
also severely shaken up, but not internally
hurt, as it was feared at first. The jockey
soon regained consciousness, but was un-
able to explain the accident. He is under
contract to e. r. Bradley, who brought
him east at the beginning OF the summer
meeting at Brighton Beach. The young
man has been riding with fair success ever
since.
The accident was wholly due to rough
riding, which is an evil that the stewards
at all Of the tracks have been trying hard to
suppress. 1t was only day before yester-
day that Travers came within an ace OF
heing seriously injured when King Pepper
was Knocked down In the Bay Shore stakes.
On Monday the stewards Of the Jockey club
revoked the license Of Jockey John DAILY for
rough tactics in a number Of races at Ken
ilworth, which goes to show that other foul
riders may be similarly dealt with. The
rough riding has served to take the heart
out Of many a good jockey. 1t is we'll

the east will not take chances at Brighton
and Gravensend because of their sharp
turns, but IL at his best on the broader
courses at Morris Park and Sheepshead

This is fair sample of the Repub-

that Judge Parker said that he would
revoke this order because it was usur-

that he will, if elected, use his inffu-

1t costs the people of the United
States on an average, $34.7I per head
for food in 1897, when Republican rule
began at Washington. This wear il
costs $s2. s8-an increase OF over 81
per cent
In other words, it takes S1.5I to
buy as much food now as dollar
would buy seven years ago. A man
earning d ollar day was better of
then, as far as that part of his living
expenses went, than one earning
81. so day is now. And according to
Commissioner Wright, of the Depart
ment of Labor, food absorbs over 40
per cent OF the total expenditures OF
the average family.
The increase of SI7.87 per head in
the cost OF this item represents an in
crease of $50. sc in the expenditure OF
the ordinary family of five. Adding
SIS. oS for the enhanced cost Of clothes
we find that workingman's wages

Commission, and concurred in its
report. If the recommendations OF
that commission had been adopted,
among other things accomplished
would have been the abolition of the
entire tax on personal and real Prop

Tle legislature, at its recent extra
session, ignored entirely the recon-
mendation of the commission for a
tax on coal, oil and gas, for tax on
certain franchises and for certain adj
ditional corporate taxes. These omls-
sions prevented the removal, as had
been intended by the commission, OF
the entire thirty-hve cents of State
and school tax on real and personal
property. The bills passed by the
legislature permitted of reduction OF
only eleven cents of the tax on each

provision was made for meeting even
this small reduction. The manner oil
assessment was so changed, however,

several Sc. sions OF the legislature have
since been held. the Republican party
have utterly Ignored this mandatory
provision OF the constitution. II is
generally recognized that the regis
teiug of voters is the way to proven t
fraud at the ballot box. The refusal of
the Republicans to adopt this method
especially when it is the will OF the
people. Can only be regarded as con-
fession that they find it profitable to
retain a system which permits of lille
gal voting With registration law IN
force, the qualification of voters is
easily established and it is known
before election day who is entitled to
vote. When a party in power deliber-
ately sets aside or ignores the express
provision OF the tconstitation in so
important a matter as the purity Of
the ballot, it seems to me the time
has come for a change. H. G.
