accidents. Raj PARIS Wanita had to be
destroyed, three steeplechase riders fell

Jockey Nathan fell off Grenida soon
after the break in the fifth event. The
jockeys escaped serious injury, but were
badly shaken up.
In the opening event Wanita was cut
! down at the furlong pole, but gamely
finished her race. Both tendons Of her
left rear leg were severed. While the
horses were lined up at the barrier in
the third race two shots were heard and
the handsome youngster had breathed
her last.
In taking the second obstacle of the
steeplechase Melos fell with Jockey JEFF
fors. A moment later Moe and Foxcraft
landed almost upon PROSTATE horse and
rider. Jeffors was stunned for a while
and had to be carried or the course. Noe
and Clark were able to reach the safety
zone without assistance.
Jockey Nathan also had to be assisted
off the track and to the jockeys head
quarters. After medical attention he
was reported to be all right. Grenida
then clrcled the oval several times be-
fore being caught.
Scallywag a Surprise.

furlongs in 1.13 and had he been pushed

Thirteen two-year-old maidens opened
the sport by going five and a half fur
longs. And 1t nearly resulted in a vlc-
tory for a 1OO-to-1 shot, No Manager.
The surprise party led all the way and
was only beaten by Mary Warren, the
second choice. through the grand ride of
Johnny McTaggart in the closing strides.
StOnehenge was third.

after the second jump, despite the fact
that the favorite won and the second

obstacle. Cactus Bud was held under
restraint through the infield. but after
getting on the fiat easily pulled away
from Promoter. Velsini was third. The
run over the hill has been eliminated.
All Gold Disappoints.
All Gold, Whitney's highly touted thor
oughbred, ran like 80 cents in the fourth
event, which was q mile handicap for all
ages, despite the fact that he was the ia

shot to the front rounding the first turn

Hedrick put over Fred Levy in the fifth
race, which was at six furlongs, at the
price of 10 to 1. Levy slipped through to
the rail at the furlong pole and drew
away from the field. Lord Wells. the
favorite, was second, and might have
done better had not Grenida interfered
with him entering the homestretch. Cecil
