INCREASED WEIGHT LIMITS HIS OPPORTUNITIES But for getS'lng heavy, T. Webster, who has given such splendid exhibitions of horsemanship of late ou Press Gang and Hail Mark, would have reached an unassailable position a;t the head of Australia's lightweight riders (states an Australian paper). Webster had few, superiors when a bio to go to scale at a handy weight. His greatest attribute is tfce ,wonderful balance he possesses. There is no necessity for stirrups when, he rides a horse. Also, too, balancing on a horse’s month, so common to-day with many of our jockeys, has no place in Webster’s repertoire. Withal, ho is a wonderful judge of pace, and he can certainly hold ibis own with any rival in .the hardest of hard-fought finishes. FAMOUS JOCKEY SAVAGED BY HORSE . ,

Michael Be-ary, the famous, rider, was savaged by a horse at Newmarket recently. Hitherto a nice kind, animal, the horse, by name John James, seized his leg .in his teeth, but . fortunately Bcary escaped serious injury. Describing the incident, Bcary sa.id:. “ When the rugs-were being taken off ,the team, an assistant named Walts came to John James, and he struck out at him with his forefeet. I waft on the horse at the time, and. said ‘.I will take the rug off, ’ as lie Would not allow Watts to A ‘ /

|do so. I jumped off, adding the far rein so that his head was away from me. When X loosed the rein for u 3 second to jump on him, he was round ■ liko lightning and seized me by the side, reared up with me while I was 0 hanging head downward, and shook me 0 like a dog does a rat. He came down 0 with his knees on me, and again reared 0 with me still in his grip. Again he q came down on top of me, but as he was geiing up a third time my jodhpurs ridging breeches gave way, and he was so surprised that he stopped and enabled g mo to get away. ’ ’ G 6 N.Z.

The New York State Racing Commission has recommended the iustallasj tiou of the “electric eye" on all racel courses within that State. The order 5 is to take effect by September 30. f) The “electric eye ,; is a device of 1) recent invention which makes motionpicture records of the running of a race j and records the time within a hund--1 redth of a second. A photograph of j the finish is -automatically printed by 5 the machine within less than a minute J and a-half after the conclusion of the ) face, and a. photograph can be posted ; for public observation within another ! minute and a-half, ; It is stated by the Lexington Tkori oughbred Record that the recommenda- | td.’on of the State Racing -Commission that a.ll New Y r ork tracks adopt the device has been made for two reasons. ; First, because no decision by human , observation' ever approximates the ac- - curacy of the recording and timing device. Second, because the Racing Commission is'convinced the device will receive the unanimous approval of the racing public.
