New Orleans. Dec. 31.-This afternoon
was the most exciting day of the season
at the Fair Grounds. The racing
was full Of accidents. in which Jockey
Smith suffered the most. The accidents
came in the second race. a hve-furlong
purse affair for two-year-olds. Sir Aince-
meat while at the post threw his rider,
Walker, and ran away a quarter of a mile
at top speed. The animal was caught
and brought back to the starter, where
his jockey remounted. When the start
came Sir Mincemeat outbroke his field.
and raced away with a safe lead. Expect
TO See, who was coupled with Miss
Bertha as the Miller entry, was running
in a prominent position when the field
neared the three-furlong pole. Expect
TO See stepped into hole about that point
and went down The Scout and Harry
Gardiner who were racing behind him,
tunbied over both Jockey Austin and the
horse. When the injured riders were
picked up and carried into the jockey
room it was found that Smith suffered a
broken collar bone and q crushed rib.
Jockeys Noone and D. Austin We're
severely shaken up.

ing event was sensational for the time
being. They ordered Jockey Mountain,
who was scheduled to ride Abe Meyer,
the favOrite taken off. and Garner sub
stituted. The move was made at Noun
tains request. The stewards announced
later that the boy, who was hit by a
cIod of mud in the opening event, broke
small blood vessel in his eye Abe
Meyer, after winning the closing event
IN a drive, was boosted 500 over his
entered price of $500 by Sam Lois.

Ing came off when DrOmo. backed from
20 TO 1 down 10 10 to l. won the fifth race
by a nose from the favOrite. Harmakis.

time in the mile purse race. The colt
