History forgot itself Yesterday and
turned back a page for the fifteenth an
nual parade and show OF the Road
Drivers Association OF New York
Not once in the career Of that organza-
ton has the Speedway witnessed such
turnout OF horses and humanity FOR the
gala day OF the year-certainly not. at
least. since interest in horsefesh was in
It's heyday hereabou More than hun
dred entries took part in the parade and
the subsequent horse show and close TO
five thousand persons thronged the Speed
way for the proceedings
BY the greatest OF good fortune what
might have resulted I'm a fatal accident
was averted i'm the middle OF the pro
cramme when Doris b., a black mare.
owned by DR. VI. r. Nimphius. ran away
and tore down the Speedway Tor nearly q
nile. whirling through the throng ~
horses and people In front Of the grand
stand and bringing up with crash =.
against the speed wagon drawn by Billy
Barlow.
This started the second horse of and the
two raced for i've or sX blocks before
being brought up by Mounted Polccm''
Harry Close. No one WAS sorious'
although George Allen. who wa
Billy Barlow. was tossed out an,
badly shaken up.
The start Of Doris B.'s tempC.,Goa
flight was caused by the breaking OF th.
front wheel Of the speed wagon i'm which
she was pulling George Nlmphius,
brother OF the owner. Nimphius was
thrown out. and the broken frame. falling
on Doris BIS heels. frightened her and
she set of at a mad pace down the Speed
way
She had half mile TO run before reach
ing the grandstaud and nearly everybody
had a chance To- flee for shelter Allen.

grandstand and was making desperate cf-
forts 10 reach the curb. when Doris y.
veered and hit Aliens rig a glancing blow
that spilled him.
Close. the policeman, had started after
Uoris B. and the second accident gave
him "A chance 10 bring himself almost on
raced after the two horses. and after
grabbing Billy Barlow he kept on and
seized the flying reins OF the other run
away. lie was roundly cheered when he
brought the pair back to the stand.
After the crowd had settled back from
this thrill the judging went on undls-
turbel until the novelty class was reached,
when post entry, or. rather PAR oi
post entries. nearly sent the spectators into
Mysteries Just as the entries were about
TO be closed all eyes were turned on
solemn procession consisting Of a twelve
year-old girl urging on colt that had just
passed the bottle stage and a smaller girl
with nondescript dog on the leash
The colt had his name tied up IN RIB
bons and sported neat saddle cloth. The
Judges looked long and earnestly AT the
quartet and then Or. J. r. Forster, the
marshal. asked the girls whether they
were entered for the novelty prize. They
said they weren't, but they'd just as soon
be- and i'm another minute they were In
line.
The blue ribbon went to Mrs. VI. Happe
with Kinney McGregor. in a rose-decked
rig. the red ribbon 20 Eddie G., the hither-
10 unnamed colt and his owner Miss
Muriel Marshall and the yellow went To
