Adie had short distance to go, before
he could put his horse up at Roberts's
stable. As he approached the stable he
was overaken by another horse and driv-
er who saw Capt. Adie driving fast, and
supposed that he was expecting a race.
As Capt. Adie came to the alley entering
the stable yard, he wheeled in, making
an abrupt curve. The horse ran the
carriage against an iron post, throwing MIR.
Adie from the team and injuring him
about the head and chest. One side of
the carriage was badly damaged, and the
horse kept on running. The horse ran
into the stable between two horses that
stood on the floor of the stable, and would
have continued his run through the rear
entrance had the space been wide enough
to admit. The team which started to race
with Capt. Adie, would have met with a
mishap had not the driver been prompt
and turned the horse into the stable yard,
thus avoiding a collision. Capt.
Adde'S injuries were attended to at G.

noon Mr.. Roberts the stable keeper. drove
home with him. The horse cut his legs
quite badly, but sustained no serious in
iuries.
