the first platoon of the first class cavalry were
engaged, on Tuesday morning, In their usual exer.
cises in the hail. an accident occurred which came
near having fatal termination. The class was
engaged in cutting off the canvass heads, and
running at the rings while their horses leaped
the bar. The hall is very much too small, and
some OF the horses were very restive, and were
with difficulty compelled to take the leap in such
confined place. One of them, ridden by Cadet E.
Gay of Vermont. while going at full speed towards
the bar, suddenly swer, ed and turning completely
round, ran back towards the other end of the hall
sncountering on the way another horse also at full
speed. Cadet Gays leg struck the shoulder of the
horse, and was badly broken In two places, one
below and the other above the knee. Cadet Chds
who was mounted on the other horse, was brought
to the ground senseess by the shock but recovered
in few minutes, without having sustained any
apparent injury. The officer of the day, Cadet
Capt. Merrill, and Cadets Bennett and Webb
promptly carried the wounded man to the hosp i.al
