| TINE New Year was ushered in witt
tinge or sadness at San
Il ia Anita yesterday. Jockey Den
nison, a likely lad in the saddle
who came here recently to ride
for the Maine stable, was thrown from
Summer Cloud in the third race, and lies
In the hospit in a precarlous condition
The boy is injured internally, suffers from
conclusion of the brain, a fractured arm
and last night it WIS feared that he would
not recover.
The fall occurred when the field of six
in the third number on the program. AS
the barrier shot up Summer Cloud was
caught in a jam between Royal River
and Orilene, and the FLY went down, her
hind quarters striking Dennison as she
fell. Orilene was pulled up and got
around without touching the PROSTATE
lad, who was picked up and carried to
the Jockeys room in an unconscious con-
dition.
Aside from Dennison's bad fall. the fea-
lures of the day were the advent of this
years crop of racers, and the Rose selling
stakes, which was won by Glenecho. The
Chinn geding went begging in the betting
ring previous to the race, but this did not
prevent him from leading his field all the
way and winning from Marster by half
length. with Molesey third, finishing
tired. Marster gamely challenged Glen
echo in the last hundred yards but
Chinn's horse was not to be headed and
won with little to spare.
After the stake event the next num-
Der in Importance was the race in which
turf. Sam Hildreth, sending his colors
to the post for the first time at Santa
Anita, turned up the winec in Vatican, a
Prince Plenty-Hindu Queen colt, which
was given a perfect ride by schilling.
Preston struggled into the place money
with Horace H, and Fred Maier, never
to be outdone by any of them, was third.
Johnny Bullman made his temperance
here on Thunder Hill. and although he
got the colt away well, he could do no
better than fourth.
Sugar Maid was always the choice for
the opening number on the card, a six
furlong purse affair for which eight bang
tails sported silk. Toupee was next In de-
mand. with Stray following and the 9TH
ers anywhere you cared to write them.
The book dope was all to the correct
for they finished in the order indicated
on the bookmakers charts. As usual
Stray provided the early speed, and car
ried his field into the stretch by five
lengths, with Sugar Maid Timothy Wen
and Toupee following in the order named.
and Sugar Maid won by a length. Toupee
coming. second. Stray managed to stick
long enough to get what was left.
OrIene in Hard Luck
Summer Clouds mishap caused Orilens,
the favorite, to lose the third race, and
the winner turned up in Daruma, with
Orilene second and Barbette third,
Daruma was as good as twelve TO one In
the scrip emporiums, with Oriene at six
to five and Barbette reaching fifteen.

Summer Cloud was wedged into a tight
spot, and Orilene, which was Immediate
ly In back. was pulled up a bit by Preston
in order to escape hitting Jockey DennI-
son. Barbette went out in front and
made the pace with Sanfara, Royal River
and Daruma each taking a chance at the
following game. Into the final eighth
Barbette maintained nice lead, but with
the real going she stopped. Daruma went
to the front and appeared an easy winner
when Orllene, coming from fourth place,
ranged alongside and lost by short
head.
Mary Candlemas and Foncasta were
the sharpshooters' targets In the fifth race
a mile and three sixteenth affair, that
called out a field of nine, but neither
was able to grab any part of the purse,
Rip Rap, to l. being returned the win
ner, with Ten Row second and Med
ding Daisy third.
The favorite's early speed was called in
to make the running for the bunch, with
Marpessa sticking along for three quar-
TO be second into the stretch. Mary
Candlemas gave up and Rip Rap tore
home winner by two lengths. Ten Row
came from far back to be second, and
Meddling Daisy had enough speed to pass
the pacemaker in the final jump, beating
Mary Candlemas a nose for the show.
The sixth race was a split of the one
preceding, and called out a field of eight.
gElie was installed as first choice, and
easily justified the nine to five price by
winning handily Rubinon, the pacemalKer,
being second and Hi Caul Cap despite the
name, landing in the third hole. Josie
and Fastoso both showed some early
speed, but when 1t came to the real work
Ellie was easily good enough to pass Rub
inon. which tired from making pace all
the way around.
Never better than three to FIVE, Rey
Hindoo was cinch in the closing num-
Der, and galloped by four lengths to lead
a field of seven over the five and a half
