running of the Hunters Derby in easy
fashion. Waldo, owned by Miss Ethel
Moore. was second, and Nancy. owned
by Lieut.. Victor .Noyes, third. Andelon
finished pulled up. Mr. Basey kept
his mount well behind the field until
the turn into the home stretch was
reached. Then he came on with
rush and was far out in front before
the other horses had Strengthened out
for the dash TO the wire.
Mrs. Potts Falls.
Mrs. Allen Potts, who has been
showing horses here for years and is
we'll known for her exceptional num-
ber OF winners, was the victim Of an
unusual fall. Her Cheero had just
been awarded the championship rib
bon for saddle and park horses and
she was cantering before the grand
stand. Suddenly her mount seemed
TO slip and she fell so hard that It
was several minutes before she could
remount and continue out of the
ring.
Joe Royson. a professional jockey
was badly hurt during the running
of the sweepstakes steeplechase. Up
on Jack Prior, he was taking the sec
ond hedge when his horse tripped and
threw him. Both his left wrist and
left leg were broken, and he was hur-
ried to Emergency Hospital in the
Red Cross ambulance. His condition
was reported not TO be serious last
night. but his leg was snapped
doubtful that he ever will be able
to ride again.
Record Number OF Mishaps.
Several other spills gave the gal
lery some anxious moments yesterday
really were and neither the horses
nor the riders were injured. Despite
the fact that the meets of the Ma.
tional Capital Horse Show have been
run on sloppy turf for the three years
previous to this one, none produced
near so many accidents as this one.
Piaudits were heaped upon Melvin
c. Hazen, general manager of the
show, for its unusual success Every
card proved a thriller for the gallery,
and there were very few events that
Jagged. The large attendance was
considered exceptional in view OF the
fact that although the spectators
were spared from rain, they found
Arlington Park a hot place to spend
an afternoon.
