The horse fell and Jones the jockey was thrown and badly injured. The woman was flung under the horse and was badly mangled. At first it was believed she was fatally hurt, but she is still alive, though unconscious. Her name is Elizabeth Dawson, a Bachelor of Arts of the London University, with honours. She has suffered several imprisonments and is the woman who hid in the hotair shaft of the House of Commons Isat year.

Received June 6th, at 5.5. p.m. London, Friday. As a result of Whalley's accidtint in the Stewards' Handicap, the stewards have suspended E. Hurley, rider of Agada. The stewards are investigating the running of the Derby. They are determined to discover an explanation of the jostling and bumping upon such a roomy course. The police have notified the Epsom Hospital authorities that Eizabeth Davidson must be considered as being in custody.
