and thrilling nature.
The Spill.
Jockey Charley Irwin, of New Or
leans, who was astrlde John Hart,
the fayorite in the opening event, was
forced against the fenco just as the
horses were turning into the stretch
and suffered broken leg Throw
Ing his weight upon his unlnjured
side he made a game effort to pull up
his horse and few people In the grand

tainted and fell from his mount and
was carried to the secretarys office
where ho was attended by city
Physician webb. Every bone in his
left leg was broken lie was romov-

terical but later recovered
Heavily Played.
Every horse had following and
tho heaviest play of the meeting was
recorded, the public having a little
the best of the argument. Liberal
prices were again In evidence, which
only goes to show that Tulsa people
will turn out nobly when they receive
such classy treatment as is being ac-
corded them ut the present meeting.
Jockey Pendergast was again in
the limeight. bringing in two win
ners. including the feature event, on
Dominica.

enough to get the verdict by short
head from the fast closing Lady Willie

seemed certain winner passing the
paddock, but Marshall Tilghman
showed the gameness of his half
brother, Dan Norton, and undor
severe punishment, got up in time to
win. O. f.. Norvell was easily the
best Of the others. John Hart cut
out the pace until rounding the
stretch turn where he was crowded
into the fence and his rider forced to
take his mount up.
Bob i outbroke his field in the
two-year- event, the second race
on the program, opened up tremend-
Gus lead in the early part, and under
punishment, outlasted the favorites,
Tom Knight, who would have won
in a few more strides Ala Welch
was the best of the other starters,
which ran green, but will probably
improve racing.
Billy Myer Wins.
Billy Myer broke in front as the
barrier rose for the third race and
forcing the pace all the day under
restraint, outgamed Lady Willie in
the closing drive. Swede Sam, the
favorite, was crowded back shortly
after the start, but saved considerable
ground on the turns thereafter. and
had no other apparent excuses.
Yvonne ran out on the turns, losing
all chance, after appearing for a time
to be a dangerous factor and was
eased up at the END

Annual Interest. which opened up
equal favorite with JOAN Il. Clay. in
the fourth race, was hustled to the
front by Jockey Gore and never left
the result I'm doubt. John II. Clay was
the runner up all during the race, was
firing at the end and just lasted long
enough to get the place, from Ora
McGee. Flying Pearl and Eva Tan

tempt this year and the race should
do them both good.
The fifth race, the feature on the
card, went to Dominica. the favorte
and the best played horse Of the day.
She found the track to her liking and
was easily the best. Cordova hugged
the rail all the way. thereby saving
many lengths. which enabled her to
be second. Quid Nunc lost ground
on the turns, this being his first race
over a half mile track and should i'm
prove when better educated to the
turns. Royal Dolly showed flash
of speed but tired.

supporters. opening at to |. he went
TO the post at 10 to l, and surprised
the form players, by easily beating
Doc Allen the favorite. who finished
second. Mark Kennedy finished In
