What appeared to be a serious acci
dent occurred in the first race yes
terday when Jockey Coils, VINO ha'
the mount on May S in the steeple
chase. was thrown to the ground
the first turn, the horse rolling owe
him. William Parrish fell over Ma!
and tossed her jockey, Hewitt. Tit
latter, although shaken up, was th'
first to help his brother rider from th'
turf. Coils was at first thought to b'
badly injured and many were under
the impression that he had broken ms
neck. JIpon examination 1t was founc
that hemorrhages constituted his in
juries in addition to severe brutsing.
Satchel then took the lead and at the
water jump almost fell, Warren hang.

mounts neck, regaining his saddle. DR.
Logan at this place took the lead ana
never headed, beat Thaddeus easily.
Satchel had no contention for third

stand.
Colonel Jack was backed to even
money favoritism for the second, while
Arimo and Lord Stanhope closed at As
Zethus was heavily backed closing at
rs after 10-1 had been offered. Bull
man on Arimo beat the barrier and
won easily Ampedo at SOL was Sec
ond all the way, while Lord Stanhope
was doing his best to stall off Zethus
for third money. Talbert on Zethus
was asleep at the post and at the end
the horse was running great guns and
with earlier racing luck would have
been a dangerous factor for first
money.
Colonel Jack showed remarkable
gameness by running close up in the
bunch after he was badly cut down
and jumped upon at the start. He will
be away from the races for some time.
La Gloria, combine property, as was
expected, turned her somersault yes
terday in the third race, when not a
public choice. La Gloria in her last
two races was a red hot favorite and
could not get up q respectable gallop.
Yesterday was another day and the
right money was bet. She made one
of the best sprinters on the track ap-
pear like three Canadian dimes with
holes in them
According to Pete Williams, no one
is immune from punishment with the
exception of the combine. He even
went so far as to state to a horse
man that at his word the management
would eXpel the newspaper men who
dared to make an expose.
Escalante was easily second in the
third race, while Right and True had
no trouble in beating Governor Orman
for the short money. After the race
La Gloria was run up to $1,000 by j. b.
Dunn, the owner of Governor Orman.
But the flgurehead for the combine bid
the extra five and retained the mare
La Gloria was in to be sold for $1O0
Threats of bodily harm have been made
upon Dunn for bidding up the horse.
Cello rewarded his followers in the
fourth by winning handily at the nice

He showed plainly the other day that
he could not run in the mud and should
have been one of the choices yeSter-
day.
The Van Duzen entries were favor
ties at 21a to ! and J. F. Donohue was
backed from 81 to - Jetsam was
backed from 10 to 3. Jetsam, leading in
the stretch, felt the effects of early
going and Ross on Cello, who rode d
good race, then took the lead and
never was headed. j. F. Donohue came
from far back, but was not good
enough to win. Dusty Miller held OF
long enough to beat Varieties for thirC
money. Oratorian went we'll for SIX
furlongs and then stopped.
When Edwin T. Fryer won the fiftf
race there was a shout from the grand
stand and Koerner was wildly cheerec
for the excellent ride he gave his
mount, just getting up in time to NOSE
out Dulcinea under the wire, While DR.
Crook and Ell Cazador We're heads

mapping and did not see the winner

receding from 3s to 5s. The Rousta,
