| Frank Green met with a serious &C.
cident on his way to Waterville with
a load of Christian Endeavorers from
| No. Hyde Park last Thursday. As
they we're going down the long hill
| just this side of the village one of the
horses stumb led and fell. Before Mr..
Green could get full control of them
he was thrown from his seat and the
horses ran some distance. The result
was broken leg for one of the horses,
a broken ankle for one young lady, a
sprained one for another and several
with bruises etc. This is the first &C.
cident which has happened in the
many trips which the Ocean Wave
has taken and there.seems no partic-
ular blame attached anywhere. Mr..
Green is a careful and skilled driver
and had he not been thrown from his
seat no doubt would have kept con-
troll of his horses.
