HAW r HO INE ItACING. Perfect weather and a big holiday crowd were enough to make tin regulars think a Derby was to be run at Hawthorne Monday. There was no .Derby, however, or other race of much consequence. Still the racing was good and in soma features sensational. A couple of horses fell in the steeplechase and one jockey, Boyd, was seriously, perhaps fatally injured. lu the fifth race the heavily-backed favorite. Catastrophe, bled and was .jammed into the fence, almost breaking jockey Yandus9na leg and incidentally burning up a ton of money for the spfculators. The accommodations for injured jockeys at Hawthorne are not what they should ho. Boyd, with five ribs caved in and his arm broken in three different places, was put to rest on a cot k in th8 secretarys office. This bay is very fcbadly hurt and the doctors say he will hardly survive, Vaudusen was jammed into the fence In Catastrophe and his lag badly bruised, Dr. kidd attended him and called upon one con-fEated with the track for a bucket of hot water. Atter waiting too long a time a man returned to the doctor with a tomato can filled wui luke warm weter. The ateeplechese was a farce and resulted in -what will more lb an likely be the death of Boyd. Bcyd roio Globe II. and after getting away on about even terms with Gheesemite he at once proceeded to carry the latter out of the coarse. He succeeded in doing this but could not get clear of the wiDg of the first fence and the resalt was be got a hard fall, Globa II. was up in an instant and oa the far side of the fence collided with Three Forks, throwing him. Jt was a deliberate piece of work on Boyds part and if the b?y lives to be able to ride again Jt will be impossible for him to get a license, as Judge Harry Kuhl after questioning Johnson, who rode Chcesemite, ruled him off tho turf. ZEven after the mix-no at tho first fence the race had a "fixed" look, and before Judge Kuhl is through be will probably land jockey Egger-son, who rode Chenier, and the entiro Gbenicr contingent. Zufallig, who finiebed fourth on the Bat in a good race when last out, won the steeplechase running away. After The Bush, at 3 to 5, won the second race in a gallop it wjs hard picking and a continual throw-down for the talent. Salvable really did look like a cinch in the last race, which was at a mile, and on him the losers unloaded at 7 to 10 Burns was up, but he did not succeed in getting a flying start, and had to bo content to finish second to Mizpab, Trho sproadeaglod his field and won pulled up, doing the mile in 1:391, a grand performance. What Tommy Burns did to starter Dwyer in the fourth race was a caution. The wily Tommy rode Mr. Johnson and beat the barrier -enough to win the race. Canaco, off poorly and badly messed about, ran a far better race than Mr. Johnson did, but could not quite get up and finished Eecond. After making such a gocd showing, J. H. Smith took a liking to her and claimed her for 0. Little Land, who was supposed to be a "ringei" at one timo, won the initial seven furlong Ecremble very easily. He was at 8 to 1 and heavily backed. Turf correspondents who reported that J. H. Smith was assaulted by Jim Murphy after he, Smith, ran Jackanapes ud Saturday, were misinformed. In the first place Jim Murphy is not hero and has not been for a couple of weeks, and then again Smith is not a maiden at the fighting game and one that strikes him and .gets away with it is taking a long chance and ! must ba pretty shifty. Fred Foster, after a very disastrous trip East, has at last returned. Foster is, without a doubt, a very clever horseman, but the eastern same seems to be entirely too fast for him this year. There were three rsces at seven furlongs and all were run in the same time 1 :27.
