HIS STAKE RECORD
Drake Horse Runs Out to De.
feat Broomstick-Jockey
SwaIweH Killed

NEW YORK, July 23.-The sport at
Brighton Beach was marred today by the
fatal injury of Jockey Ernest SwalweI.
In the second race Opuntia, on the back
stretch, fell at jump. throwing Swa1-
well and then rolling on him. The jockey
died shortly afterward in a hospital. He
was twenty -one years old and hailed from
Toronto.
Ort Wells, winner of the Commonwealth
handicap, the Lawrence Realization and
many other stakes, today added another to
his already long list by capturing the
$4,000 Brighton Derby. The Drake horse
was ridden out to beat Breomstick by
one and a half lengths. Knight Errant
was third, three lengths back. After the
Jockeys had weighed out, the stewards
dlsqualified Broomstick for interfering
stretch the first time Knight Errant was
officially placed second and Bobadil third.
The time, 1882 3-5, is within two fifths of
second of the track record for the dis
lance.
The Drake entry, Ort Wells and Bobadil,
was a hot favorite at to 10, with Broom
stick next in demand at to 1. Knight
Errant, the only other starter, was quoted
at to l.
