Jockey Ravnor had n narrow escape from
fatal injury In the fourth race Yesterday.
He had the leg up on H. d. Durham's mare
Dekaber. who was backed sufficiently to drop
In price from tens to sevens. Dekaber was
next to the rail and rushing along with the
bunch, when suddenly she was crowded to
the fence and Raynor pulled her up to escape
being thrown into the infield When the
jockey had passed the judges stand 1t was
seen that his left knee had been severely
crushed. the blood flowing from two ugly
gashes. Dekaber's near forefoot at the heel
was cut too. and she was otherwise bruised.
Raynor was 30 weak that he was lifted fromthe
saddle and carried to the paddock. where two
surgeons decided that his legwas onlysprained.
not broken. The stewards Immediately began
an investigation as to the cause Of the acci-
dent. but there we're 80 many conflicting
statements that they were unable to reach
4 decision. Raynor said he did not know
who was responsible for the crowding, but
persons who were near the scene Of the ac-
cident were sure that Jack Martin who rode
Major Daingerfeid was the one responsible.
Martin denied the accusation and there the
matter rested. Rough riding OF this KIND
has been prevalent all the year on the metro
politan tracks, and several boys have been
punished. But the evil will continue until
some fragrant offenders are set down for n
long period Rayhor, who recently came
from the West. will not be able to ride again
for two weeks.
Many spectators were shocked when they
saw Cock Robin running In the steeplechase
with blood pouring from his nostrils. His
shoulders and legs were covered with GRIM
son and Mr. Mathers's riding breeches were
we'll spattered Yet this gentleman rider
made no attempt to pun the Tea Tray geld
Ing up. Whether he knew that Cock Robin
was bleeding or not nobody was able to say,
but 1t was rather strange that he did not
notice 1t. The spectacle was not rellshed by
the more humane onlookers in the grand
stand.
