| fences several times But her rider sent her
| at them again and again until in rising to one
she struck her knees against the top rail- and
! fell heavily. carrying Mr. Reynal with her. THO
riders leg was pinned beneath the horse and
several grooms at once sprang to his AID At
first he did not rise but when assisted TO his
feet soon recovered, with no injury worse than
a shaking. He remounted the mare and sent her
successfully over the fence that had thrown her.
w. H. Clark's handsome stallion Keeler while
exercising slipped at one Of the turns, but MS
driver pulled him to his feet again without
| damage.
