THOMAS WILLIAM ADAMS Jockey BORN: c.AprU 1885 DIED: 3 July 1905, Rosebery N.S.W. AGED: 20 years, 2 months GRAVE: 962-963 Church of England Vault, Section 7 "There was a good attendance at the Rosebery Park pony and galloway races yesterday, but the programme was not run through, owing to a shocking accident which occured in the second event," reported the SMH. Thomas Adams died in a "shocking accident while another jockey, named William McMahon, aged 18 years, was seriously injured". The accident occured in the 14.1 Handicap, which management decided would be run in two divisions owing to the large number of starters. "Six ponies started in the first heat, and of these Lady WiHon and Luleon were ridden by Adams and McMahon respectively," continued the SMH. "Everything went well until the bend leading to the straight was reached. There a collision occurred, with the result that Adams and McMahon, together with their mounts, were thrown heavily to the ground." The Daily Telegraph takes up the story "Adams was picked up in a battered condition and despatched to an hospital, but died on the way. McMahon was admitted to St Vincent's i^.v Hospital suffering severely from concussion of the brain and shock. His collar-bone was also broken. In consequence of the accident the balance of the programme was not run." Interment at Waverley Cemetery was arranged by Thomas' parents, Charles and EUzabeth Adams. His "body lay in a silver-mounted cedar coffin in the mortuary of St Vincent's Hosptial, which was visited during the day by many of the deceased's friends," the SMH added. "The boots, jacket, cap, whip, and spurs of the late jockey were placed on the coffin, which was borne to the hearse by a number of his late colleagues, the hearse being decorated with the deceased's riding colours - black and gold. Among the floral tributes sent were wreaths from the Epping Racing Club, Rosebery Park Racing Club, and National Sporting Club." Thomas Adams' headstone was erected by his sisters.
