after his mount. Sir Martin. had fallen in
the English Derby. According to Schlosser,
the jockey told him that at the time Of the
accident Sir Martin was running In third
place under q hard pull with only three fur
longs to 70 and looked as IL he could win,
when suddenly at Tattenharn Corner there
was a Jam and the colt went down; English

President Dwyer Of the Brooklyn Jockey
Club said yesterday hat he had not made up
his mind about adding extra days TO the
Gravesend schedule and that the matter
depended wholly upon future patronage.
The horsemen are unanimous In q demand
for more racing. Yesterday gross re-
ceipts more than covered expenses; Many
for the first time this season and were agree
ably surprised with the existing conditions.
