Betty Barry filly fell and broke
her neck and Achelita, which was inn
mediately behind our Lille, also fell
and was severely bruised.
Jockey Dearborn who was riding
Achelita, was thrown violently to the
ground and sustained a broken collar
bone and Jockey Scovile, who had the
mount on our Lille, was severely
bruised and scratched in the fall.
our Lille was laying twelfth ana
Achelita was thirteenth i'm the run for
the stretch, where the accident oc-

Immediately behind the Stubs filly,

our Lille died within few minutes,
but Achelita recovered and finished
riderless.
Neither filly was in the running for
the purse, having dropped out of the
race at the flag fall, when the bunch
of thirteen scrambled for positions.
Each was considered fair platers and
the Stubbs filly was rounding to her
best form and would have been a fac
tor in the future had she continued to
improve as she had in the last two
weeks.
Our Lille was valued at $1,000 and
was entered to be sold for $500.
Memories Surprise
Memories turned the surprise of the
afternoon by beating Hans Wagner and
Druid III the $500 handicap, the fourth
race on the card.
Memories was made faVorte in the
betting al to and was heavily played
to win. Druid was first away from the
post but in the scramble for posi-

rail.
Jake Sanders raced speedily to the
front and opened up Il gap of two
lengths. which he held into the stretch,
with Wagner second and Bill Curtis
third, Druid remaining i'm last position.
Jockey Fischer made his move with
Druid in the stretch and for moment
seemed to have an excellent chance of
getting the Weinberg filly through on
the rail- but Miller reined Memories
into the pathway and cut off Druid,
forcing her to pull up slightly.
Here Memories was set down and
sent after Jake Sanders and Wagner.
Miller piloted the Holland filly through
the speeding field and in a desperate
stretch drive sent her home first by|
a head.
Wagner came stoutlY in the finish
and uoscd out Sanders FOR the place,
exhibiting all his old time speed and
COuraged his hackers i'm the belief that
the splendid handicap horse would
have won at a longer route.
Sanders held his speed long enough
to land in the show position, one
length in front of the fast running
Druid. which finished courageously
despite the interference.
Jockeys Miller and Fischer were
called into the judges stand after the
race for explanations which were sat
isfactorily made to the judges and mo-
blame was attached to either for the
conduct of their charges.
Rubric Repeats
The third race attracted much at
tention because of the class of the field
of four which faced the barrier.
Rubric, on his past performances,
both in the east ana a Ascot, was
made favorite and this consistent run
ner repeated his former easy win over
a good field by romping the three
quarters in 1874.
La Londe was the runner-up, lay
second throughout the journey and fin

sistertly fourth and absolutely.
Rubric has rounded to form at an
early date after his hard trip across
the continent and is running to good
fern in all his Ascot starts
Workmen showed a flash Of his old
time form and the long price laid
against him was ocCasioned by the
knowledge that the colt was not yet
ready for a hard race.
Twelve starters faced the flag in the
opening race, Bantam going to the
post as fayorite Of the dozen.
