TAYLORS DAY OF GLORY Rides Four Winners at Dufferin Park Bad Fall Mars . First Race. TORONTO, Ont., September C. A bad fall marred the running of the first race at Dufferin Park today, in which four of the seven starters came to grief. Ravarina stumbled and fell at the first turn. Beth Hodder, Lady Patricia and Our Kate fell over her. Ravanna suffered a broken back and had to be destroyed. Jockey G. OMahoney also suffered injuries to his back that will keep him out of the saddle for some time. Jockeys T. Wayt, R. McCrann and D. Stirling escaped injury, but Stirling was forced to cancel his remaining mounts. With four winning mounts to his credit the riding of jockey W. Taylor was again a feature of the racing at Dufferin Park this afternoon. He piloted Little Avon, Topmast, Lady Binmore and Citizen in masterly style and his superior riding was greatly responsible for the success of the last three horses. Taylor has become a favorite with the patrons of the west side course and his mounts have been receiving such stanch support that the majority of them are installed favorites. It was only after a rousing stretch struggle with Some Baby that Taylor succeeded in- landing Citizen the winner of the sixth, which attracted the best field of the card. Citizen showed the way throughout, but was extended to the limit near the end to win by a head. Lady Binmore also scored by a narrow margin in the third, quitting badly in the closing stages. Topmast held his opponents safe the greater part of the second race and Little Avon was never threatened in the initial dash. Close and exciting finishes marked the running of the remaining races. Harp of the North just got up in the closing strides to annex the fourth. Rising Rock was hard pressed to retain his slight advantage in the fifth, as was Kingling II. in the concluding dash. Five favorites- were successful, Taylors four mounts and Rising Rock. Bully Boy was cut up about the legs during the running of the fifth race. While at the post for the same race Rising Rock was severely kicked by Right Angle and cut on the left foreleg. JOCKEY WAYT PUNISHED. For unsatisfactory handling of several of his mounts here jockey T. Wayt was indefinitely suspended. The ruling followed his effort on Sister Flo in the sixth race, in which he guided the Walker mare into several pockets, and this despite the fact that he was warned before the running of the race. P. Moody was excused from starting in the third race, owing to an injured hock, sus-tairied when he became cast in his stall. Jockeys C. White and I. Gordon were arrivals today and were seen in the saddle this afternoon. J. S. Whatley, trainer for the stable of J. Rorris, reports the arrival of a son at his home in Montreal. S. Polk purchased Old Faithful from T. Hodge and the horse, has become lost in transit to Thorncliffe Park. At the conclusion of this meeting several stables will be shipped from here to New Kensington, Pa., for the eleven-day meeting opening there on Tuesday next. Included in the shipment will be the string of E. E. Major, A. Miller, W. Stoner and a division of the R. F. Coppage stable, in charge of J. Davidson. Jockey Eames was a visitor here yesterday en route from Montreal to Wheeling, W. Va., where he will ride. Eames will also ride at New Kensington. Jockey D. Prible has had the plaster of paris cast removed from his arm and galloped one of the Major horses for the first time today since his serious fall at Havre de Grace last spring. Prible expects to ride again in a short time.
