B. Feat, riding Smoke Ball, being heavily thrown and kicked! He is now in hospital with rather serious injuries.
The chief event of the day was the Trial Stakes, won by Mr. LaMr. Dunbar's Elliot Bay, a favourite for to-morrow's Derby.

Several Shanghai gentlemen riders were in attendance. Some excellent sport is looked forward to for the remainder of the week.
