Shrewsbury Items.-To proper advertise.
ments the Shrewsbury Driving and Trotting
Association owes much of its success last Sat
urday. Upwards of twenty-five hundred peo'
pie witnessed the hard fought contests between
horses and horsemen and barring sad and
tragic accident late in the afternoon, the day
passed pleasantly and protitably to those inter-
ested
There was only one hitch in the program in
the fast-time class. Mr.. Richard Hentschel,
of Baltimore was booked to match his best
horse against Mr. H. NJ. GIFTS Mysotis, OF
Hanover, Pa. Mr.. Hentscheps horse, for some
unknown cause, failed to show up, and Myso-
tbs took all the big money in three straight
heats. Best time 2:17.
Another event that pleased the crowd was
the driving of W. ]. Adams Ivanhoe against
a record Of 2:20. Mrs. Adams, wife OF the
owner, neatly ensconced in tightly closed
sulky, daintily handled the ribbons and sent
her favorite under the wire with fractional
second to spare.
The exhibition class brought out some fine
horsefesh in which the horses from Baltimore
county ranked high. However, the cards were
stocked and the prize went to DR.. Free, OF
Stewartstown.
In the last event-a running race-a terrible
accident occurred which threw pail over the
of the last quarter Navejo. leading and ridden
by bis owner, Mr.. H. T. Pearce, of Monkton.
Md, from some unseen cause suddenly threw
q somersault, his going down carrying his
plucky rider headforemoSt to the track with
frightful force. The rapid cavalcade swept
onward leaving the undoubted winner sense
less heap on the ground Hundreds rushed to
the scene of the accident and the unfortunate
rider was driven hastily to the drug store of
DR.. Gerry, where half dozen doctors found
that the victims skull was badly fractured
and death was lingering near. After lying in
a comatose state for nearly two hours his
friends decided to remove him to city hos
pital. He was tenderly lifted into light
wagon and a hundred willing hands stood
ready to pull him to the railroad station, when
the spark of life fed. The news was quietly
told his heart broken wife and brothers, who
were fearful witnesses of the tragic scene.
Later the body was removed to Wolz's under
taking establishment and about midnight the
funeral cortege left here to carry back to his
parents and children all that remained of the
gallant but unfortunate rider. ID.
