rains which prevailed here to-day, con-
verting the track into a veritable quaE-
mire caused a promising overnight card
to be mutilated by Withdrawals and put
regular patrons.
Racing was further marred by a nasty
accident in which Jockey Bell. the best
riding prospect developed since Walter
Miller, and who rode Bad News, II. in the
second event was seriously, if not IA
tally injured. The accident, which oc-
CURED at the three-quarter pole, could
only be attributed to the horse crossing
its legs. The lad was picked up in an
unconscious condition and hasty exam
ination disclosed the fact that, in addi-
ton to being badly Iacerated about the
head. he also sustained two broken ribs
and a broken collarbone.
The New Years handicap, fourth on the
card. and which carried a money consid-
Grafton of 5000. was won by the lightly
weighted Font, from the stable of F.. ].
Pons. Donald Mcdonald, who carried the
crushing impost of 125 pounds, was Sec
ond. with Guy Fisher third.

night for Tampa. where the meeting
