Ancon Has to Bo Destroyed After tho Disaster Venetia First in the Chief Race of the Afternoon Plaudito Sold and "Wins. Bowie, Md., November 20. The racing at Bowie this afternoon was marred by a bail accident which took place during the running of the third race, a three-quarters dash, in which five horses fell. One of these. Ancon, broke down so badly that lie was destroyed afterwards to nut him out of his misery. The other four were in a mix-up that happened at the five-sixteenths post and it was probably caused by Garnet bleeding at that stage of the race and pulling up sharply, while at the same time Short Ballet started to bear out. The result of it all was that Garnet, Short Ballot, Shrapnel and Tarves were in a mix-up that caused all four of them to go down in a heap. Koppleman and Ambrose were the two riders who were not fortunate enough to escape injury, although Ambrose got off with an injured shoulder. But Koppleman, who had the mount on Short Ballot, was picked up and carried to the jockeys room in an unconscious condition and late reports had it that lie was badly injured. The Bonaventure Purse for three-year-olds and over at a mile, featured the card and, after an excellent contest, was won by Venetia. After The Decision led for a half mile, he was passed by Indian Chant, the good thing of the race, which appeared all over the winner to the last sixteenth.
