HORSE DEAD; BOY ESCAPES
ROBBINS Has UGLY FALL.
a Dearth of Winning FaUoTtes at
Brighton Beach Track.

Dreamer. at the short price OF 3 TO 5, was the
one lone winning favorite at Brighton Beach
yesterday. and the regulars had another disas-
trous day The card was made up OF overnight
races. and the helds were lacking in class, with
the exception Of the two handicaps, and there
was little TO boast OF In this respect even in
those. An accident. which for time threatened
10 throw damper on the days sport also
narred the racing. ". Robbins had an almost
miraculous escape from instant death when De-
rision fell in the first race. It was at the end
OF the first quarter that the colt was knocked
out Of his stride and fell with crash. Boy and
horse lay where they fell without sign of life.
and a snudder went up from the grandstand.
The horse broke his neck and was killed instant
iy. but Robbins was brought back to conscious
ness after doctor had worked over him for a
time and was carried to the jockey room.
Bis right arm was broken In two places and his
shoulder dislOcated, but he escaped serious in
jury. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital
at Coney Island.
Derision was wellbred colt and It is said
that his owners had refused an offer Of $4,000
FOR him. He was among the tailenders when he
fell ana the responsibility for the accident could
not be placed. II looked from the stand as if
Robbins tried to go through a small opening
and that the horse was knocked out Of his
stride. crossed his legs and fell. This is the
third fail OF the meeting in races on the fat
ana the stewards might DO well to make an
example Of some Of the more daring and reckless
boys. The track is one Of the safest in the
country and no fault be laid at the door
OF the Brighton Beach Racing Association.
There has been a tendency, however, TO rough
and foul riding, and this must be stopped before
some fatality occurs.
