THROWN UNDER FIELD

IN FOURTH EVENT

Track Record Set By Deitz on Electron

MR. H. A. DE BOTELHO WAS HURT WHEN, IN THE JOCKEY CUP EVENT, FOR NOVICES, HE WAS THROWN FROM HIGH HONOUR AT THE VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON. THE PONY WAS IN THE LEADING BUNCH WHEN MR. BOTELHO BECAME UNSEATED. THE FIELD PASSED OVER HIM, AND HE LAY ON THE COURSE FOR SOME TIME, BUT WAS LATER CARRIED OFF, APPARENTLY HIS

INJURY WAS NOT SERIOUS.

It is "Champions Day" at the Races to-day, and large crowds are expected at the Valley this afternoon to witness the main event, confined to winning ponies. A great race is expected, although Happy Eve, greatly. ⠀ ⠀ favoured in some quarters, may not start.

There was a field. of nineteen starters in the first race to-day, the Leighton Hill Stakes, in which Mr. Ip Kui-ying steered Atomic Star to victory to pay backers $27.40. Happy Venture, ridden by Mr. Harris, was only. a length behind in second place, and paid a dividend of $78.60. Mr. Frost, riding Election Day, had to be content with third place.

As expected, the Ladies' Purse was won by Wild Life, ridden by Mr. Frost, which came la two lengths ahead of Rose-Queen (Mr. Leighton up), with Tyne, ridden by Mr. Black, in third place. The purse was presented to the winning jockey_by_Miss-Alabaster, who was later escorted to ̈tifa by Mr. Frost,

In the third race of the day, The Adelaide Stakes, Electron, ridden by

N. Deitz, set up a new track record over a distance of about one mile and 171 yarda, The pony's time was
