JOCKEY’S DEATH.
INQUEST ON CON REED
(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION
i TADMAItUNCI, Dee. 12. At the inquest on Con. Reed, the jockey, who died from injuries received at the Taumarunui races, the coroner returned a verdict of accidental death. Deceased’s brothers expressed doubts as to whether deceased had received the best of attention on the course, and also complained that there was no ambulance car on the course. The evidence of the stewards and a doctor, however, showed that the deceased had been treated with evry possible care, both at the course and in the manner of his removal to hospital. The coroner commented that his opinion was that everything possible was done for the deceased, no blame being attachable to anybody. He would commend to the attention of the stewards of the club, however, that there should he a room with all facilities for the attention of injured jockeys.
