The field of eleven was about to swing into the stretch, when Swedish Lad, running sixth, was jumped on by some one of the horses behind him. and his near hind leg broken. Court Crier who followed. fell over Swed- ish Lad, and Jockey McCafferty, who rode him, was thrown directly in the path of the on-coming horses. Hopeless added to the confusion by falling over Swedish Lad, and Court Crier. There was a rush of stable hands to the spot and McCafferty, the only one of the boys hurt, was carried to stable and thence sent to the hospital. It was found that his skull was crushed in both front and back that both arms were broken, and that there were other injuries. The physicians who attended the boy declared the case hopelss, and death is expected at any moment. The lad Is son of A. c. McCafferty, and a nephew of J. J. McCafferty, both well known horse men. Neither of the other horses and boys who fell were hurt. Swedish Lad was destroy ed late In the afternoon. Opinion, Rachael Ward and McDougle were the beaten fa- vorites.
