JOCKEY KILLED
AT TAKAPUNA RACECOURSE. Auckland, Last Night. A racecourse accident resulting in the death of Jockey R. 11. Reilly occurred during the running of the Rakino, Handicap, of five furlongs, at Takapuna to-day. Reilly, was riding Mr Wcnzl Scholium’s two-year-old filly White Wings, and by some means was unseated from his mount when the field had covered about three furlongs. What actually happened is not definitely known, although it is believed Reilly was thrown against the course rails. At the time White Wings was running about seventh or eighth behind the leading bunch. She appeared to be getting a clear run, and did not fall herself. Reilly was killed instantly. His neck was broken, and he also sustained severe injuries to the face and head.
