Doing.
A Masterson New Zealand) paper
states that one of the cleverest and most
sensational equestrian performances ON
record was accomplished by Harry Ven
nell, at the Kumurau races. He was
riding horse in the hack race, when
the animal b0lted towards the hills and
leaped into ravine, falling perpen-
dicularly height of twenty feet. The
horse dropped on his back, breaking it,
and dying quickly, and had Vennell
kept his seat he would assuredly have
been killed. Perceiving his danger as
the animal made his fatal plunge, he
caught hold of an Oyerhanging branch
and swung himself out of the saddle.
A minute OF SO later the branch gave
way, and Vennell fell OH the body Of
the horse, but his fall was broken, and
he escaped with some slight injuries.
