drome on the Fourth Of July. Every thing
passed off we'll enough in the day time, but

ladies, who were passing the short stretch at the

went over, carrying the rider with him. He
rolled completely over her, by which her ankle
was badly hurt, the ligament being torn off
from one side Of the joint, leaving the foot dang
ling loosely and helpless Her thigh also re-
shoulders were sprained, and her face bruised
considerably. As her horse fell, another horse
directly behind attempted to jump over the
fallen horse, which, partly rising at the time,
caused the jumping horse to execute o perfect

lance ahead and then walking over her, hap

thrown were borne out of the ring from the
presence Of the Mortified audience, many OF

jjured The one who first fell was taken to the
hotel and her wounds dressed. The other re.
covered in a short time, mounted her steed again
and took the next heat"
