GOOD SPORT AT THE TRACK

the Canarsie Stakes After Hard
Drive Through the stretch.

New York, April 20.-TWo jockeys came
within an ace of being seriously injured
at Aqued oct to-day. and viii probably be
unable to ride again for several months.
A crowd of nearly 5000 persons was
shocked by the accidents, which at first
seemed to be fatalities.
II was during the running of the fifth
race. when the horses were rushing down
past the field stand that a newspaper
was blown across the track directly in
front Of II. T. Grifn's FLY. Evelyn q.
She bolted in fright and went crashing into
the fence. Jockey Englander. who is under
contract to Roger Ninton, the trainer Of
the MeCarren- Hayman stable. was thrown
headlong to the turf. where it seemed az
If several horses trampled upon him.
a cry of horror went up from the crowd
as the boy. apparently dead, was seen
lying face downward in the dust. Patrol
Judge Hall drove up hurriedly in his car
riage. while Trainer Minton, who had
been watching the race from the inheld
hurried to the boys assistance, In a few
moments Englander revived and was
driven to the paddock. where it was dis
covered that in addition to number Of
cuts and bruises, he was suffering from
a broken collar bone. He was taken home.
Horse Turns sOmersault.
A more serious accident occurred in the
last race, when. in a Jam in the back
stretch. just after the start. big Tim Sulii-
vans Cooney X. plunged into the rails
and fell. turning a somersault. A little
boy named &. Brady, who was hurled high
in the air when the horse fell, was picked
up unconscious by one Of Starter Cassi-
dy's assistants. lie had an ugly wound
behind his left ear, from which the blood
poured. while mis- left arm was broken
in two places. lie regained con-
seriousness while on the way to the pad
dock ina the track ambulance. but it was
deemed advisable to take him to St.
Marys Hospital in East New York. he
was resting easily tonight. the pbysi-
clans saying he would recover.
It was fine day for the sport. and the
card. which looked comparatively easy.
seemed to attract a crowd that was larger
than the one that was in attendance on
the opening day. But as far as specula-
ton went the bookmakers had far and
away the better Of the argument. as five
heavily backed favorites were beaten.
Still. it may be said that Eve Of the six
winners were played with liberality. so
that the ring did not have a walk-over by
any means.
