SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE MAMMOTH HORSE

Yesterday afternoon, at four o'clock, an accident happened to
the mammoth horse, exhibiting at the Egyptian Hall, which
was near proving fatal to him. The room was crowded with
ladies and gentlemen, and as the groom was leading the
horse round the room the flooring gave way, and the horse's
bind legs went into the apartment underneath. The animal
plunged and struggled for some time to extricate himself, but
all in vain. Mr. Carter ran to his assistance, and by his
herculean strength succeeded in extricating one of his legs,
and the horse was finally got out with few injuries; his off
hind leg was much bruised and strained. The porter of the
Egyptian Hall occupies the apartment beneath the room
where the mammoth horse is exhibited, and his wife was
sitting at a table directly under the spot where the horse fell
through. She screamed and jumped out of the window,
while a clock near her was smashed to atoms by the horse's
hoof. Mr. Carter has had a strong double floor made since
the accident.

1
son, who undertook to ride a horse ten miles within Mr.
an
hour, six miles to be gallopped and four miles trotted. The
start was made at a trotting pace, and one mile was per-
formed in 3 min. and 10 sea; the two consecutive miles
were covered in 6 min. and 50 sec., and the fourth mile in
3 min. and 16 sec. The horse was pulled up and his mouth
refreshed, and was then quickly on the road, commencing the
six miles gallop, and turned the first mile under three min.,
and kept at a rattling pace, and three miles was gone over in
8 min. 19 sec.; the fourth and fifth miles were performed in
6 min., less 4 sec., and the last mile was entered upon at a
flying pace, and covered in 2 min. and 15 sec., finally winning
the match by 14 sec. The four miles were trotted in .13
min. and 16 sec., and the six miles galloped in 16 min. and
30 sec. The horse is a small one, and seemed but little dis-
