WARRNAMBOOL-MELBOURNE ROAD RACE. MARRED BY ACCIDENT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Sydney, Oct. 16. The Herald reports that the riders in the Warrnambooi race met with a strong head wind all the way, which, accounted for the slow times. An unfortunate incident, which had an important bearing on the race, occurred at the entrance to the Ascot racecourse, where the race was finished. A large banner erected at the entrance blew down, and one of the leading bunch fell and brought aown most of the others, including four who had led all the way from Warrnambooi, and Hill, who was immediately behind, took advantage of the opportunity. It is thought that but for the accident the result might have been different.
