LONDON, June 4. “Hotspur,” writing in the “Daily Telegraph,” says that the accident to Town Guard is more serious than was supposed, as was found on Sunday evening after work to which the colt was subjected in the morning. Lord Woolavington’s Captain Cuttie has also broken down, and may not be seen in public again. Other newspapers do not confirm “Hotspur’s” fears regarding Town Guard’s well-being, and “Sporting Life” points out that he was given a good mile gallop at Newmarket and moved freely and well. iMßasMCTßaiaeiOggjargßscaw
