By GEORGE b. MORRIS.

Marlboro, Nd, Nov. 14-Despite the
raw and gusty weather prevailing here
to-day, another large and enthusiastic
crowd witnessed the running of six
keenly contested races, one of which was
a steeplechase over the full course.
Exciting events happened galore, the
first Of which was the mishap to Jockey
Don, when Jack Burdette fell with him.
in the running of the first race. The
boy attempted to squeeze through an i'm
possible opening on the rail. and the
horse stumbled and fell Don was car
ried from the field to the reception room
which the management has provided for
such accidents, and upon examination
was found to be suffering only from a
severe shaking up and will be riding
again in a few days.
The first race was won by Kironi from
Tom Shaw, by a nose, after a terrific
drive down the stretch, in which Dreyer
outrOde Grand. Susan was a close third.
Drexel Hill showed a return to her
early spring form by winning handily

toes and making him last long enough
to win by a neck from Lucille r. and
the fast-closing Semi Quaver.
The unwarranted reports emanating
from minor turf organizations to the ef-

ticipating this week at Marlboro would
be outlawed were quieted to-day by a
telegram from DR.. Richard S. Hill, presi-
dent of the Marlboro Association, who,
in a personal interview with Algernon
Dangerfield, secretary OF the Jockey
Club. stated that no action had been
taken, nor was any contemplated of so
doing. but, on the contrary, 1t was a
source of Joy and satisfaction OF the
portunities as presented at Marlboro
were afforded the horsemen to race their
horses, and further expressed praise and
commentator for the extreme cleanli-
ness of the sport offered. Recently an
emissary was sent here from Norfolk by
the management at that place to solicit
