He was riding high on. the bank of the track when the 4'heel of his heavy machine swerv! ed &nd struck the upper rail. He was pitched head first fifty feet into the air. He is believed to have been in-1 stantly killed in the collision. His I. was s*iaPeless froin broken bones when it was picked up almost at the feet of his wife, seated among men and boys in the bleachers. ^ Lired Two Hours. ^Ubright was thrown head-first in the other direction into the enclosure j of track, when the champion's wheel j V came sliding down the steep bank and j Br struck him. He was picked up for i & dead, but he lived in an unconscious 6tate for more than two hours after | removal to a hospital. He finally sue- j cumbed to hemorrhage of the lungs. ! The spectators injured were mainly ' V (the men and boys wno were leaning over the rail yelling encouragement to the riders when Hasha came tearing i i*tf> their midst. Some of the specta- ! tors were hurled high into the air and landed in the laps of those seated behind. A scene of panic among the spectators generally followed the tragedy.

The season has been marked by m a {lumbfr of accidents, both here ani Brighton jjeach. X. Y.. never I in the histor^fc local racing has such a casualty list been recorded as today. Six in at Start. Six riders started in the free-for-all, which was the last event on the program. It was a handicap event with Hasha and Ray Seymour, of Los Angeles, an old rival for premier track honors, each starting from scratch. Ray Peck, another Los Angeles rider, started at the quarter-mile mark and Albright, the Denver rider, and Frank ' TT'Z-vxnr on/5 TaV> r\ Ifinor Af j (\lUlg auu ovuu Ul tiviiuiu, n v*v ! each given two full laps, handicap. The j track is a quarter mile and circular. At the crack of the pistol Hasha leaped ahead of Seymour. After six rounds of the course, during which: his rival had eaten his smoke, the j pair evened up and in anotner lay sey- i mour passed Hasha with a terrific; burst of speed. By varying margins ! Seymour kept the lead until the last j lap.

The leader ran high on the track, leaving a narrow space for Hasha to pass, but the latter tried it. It was then that he struck the rail. Whether he really lost control of the machine, or merely misjudged the! nearness of his run to the rail is a ' matter or dispute among me wu-; nesses. Boy's Sknll Torn Off. The sprocket of Hasha's wheel was loosened by the collision and went sailing into the crowd. Witnesses saythat it literally tore off the skull of a j little boy, who had been one of the j most excited enthusiasts at the race.

Two died before reaching the operating table at the hospital and two others as the surgeons were about to work over them. Mrs. Hasha was sitting with Seymour's wife chatting and laughing over the closeness, of the race their husbands were running when the ac- j cident occurred. Both women became ' hysterical after the tragedy and were j removed to the city hospital for treat-: ment. Hasha sprang into fame as a motor- j cyclist at Los Angeles last February, j when he was given credit for new rec- j ords in the one, two, three and four- j mile events. On the Newark track' last month he bettered the mile record again travelling the distance in 28 2-5 seconds. $2,000,000 ICE CONCERN.

"Say, dearest," he whispered, "there's Mr. Jones over there. You won't mind if I go over and dine with him, will you? Think how fine it will be if I get back from my wedding trip with a smashing big order." The little bride agreed, rather rue fully. Her travelling wan hurried over to Jones and shook hands with him, and ordered his dinner, which included roast lamb. Then he began to talk business.
