SMALL ATTENDANCE AT KEMPTON PARK MONTREAL, October 7. The smallest crowd of the local season turned out for todays racing at Kempton Park as a result of the rain and cold. A three-quarters mile dash for Canadian-breds which held the place of interest on the card, resulted in Dependence scoring her second straight victory at the track. Dependence raced Last Chance into defeat after repeated challenges and the latter had a good margin over the fast-closing Allies Way. St. Just also made it two straight at the meeting by taking the best band of sprinters of the day into .camp over the three-quarters route in the fourth race. St. Just saved ground at the stretch turn when Norfolk Belle and Split Silk bore out and was going away iu the final strides. Mays Bob emerged from the maiden class by winning the opening dash in a game finish from Pam Lawrence. Patrick OConnell, a stable man in the employ of R. Scully, died suddenly this morning. He was being brought to the city in an automobile, having been found sitting in the stable looking extremely unwell. The automobile driver looked back as the car neared the city and found that his passenger was dead. The body was brought to the morgue and an inquest will be hold tomorrow. OConnell came from Jamaica, Long Island. Jockey Charles Underwood, who was suspended during the Quebec Hunt Club meeting, has been reinstated and will resume riding tomorrow. The charges against him proved groundless.
