The tally-ho coach OF George G. Haven.
son Of the banker ran away in West Ninety
second street about 8 o'clock last evening
smashing into two crowded surface cars
and winding up almost at the Central Park
wall, The leaders jumped the wall and
| one of them had TO be shot.
Mr.. Haven was not on the coach during
most of the excitement. But young woman,
was, and she hung on alone unit il the flight of
the horses was checked at the park. No
body WAS hurt, but the coach, which has
black body and yellow trimmings. was
badly scratched, and the horses were badly
used up.
Mr.. Haven was returning from drive
through Riverside Park He was tooling
the coach himself. with pair of bays for
the leaders ard two roans as wheelers.
Two grooms were on the rear seat.
In order to get over to Central Park Mr..
Haven turned into Ninety y-second street
mt Riverside Drive. At Amsterdam avenue
the fuse of a car blew out and this started
the leaders. They tried to run away then
and Mr. Haven had just got them under
control as they neared Columbus avenue
when an elevated train went by
This scared them again and they started
across the car tracks just as an uptown
car came along. The car hit one of the
horpes on the flank broke the harness con-

soaring lot of people and just grazing
several vehicles. When they reached the
Park wall the harness broke and the horses
separated. Both jumped the wall. One of
the horses broke two legs The other kept
on, ran up the drive and was caught at
Ninety-sixth street
In the meantime the wheelers had tried
to follow the leaders, but were checked by
the wheels OF the coach getting tangled
up in the fender of the car. This gave Mr..
Haven and the two grooms chance to
jump of, leaving the young woman on the
coach. Before either Mr.. Haven or the
grooms could reach their heads. the
horses managed TO pull the coach
clear Of the fender, derailing the car as
they did SO and causing lot of excitement
among the passengers in the car.
Once free Of the car the two horses started
toward the Park on as wild gallop as had
the two leaders. Mr.. Haven's woman
companion on the COACH as she saw her
peril, jumped up from her seat and
screamed To those Watching 1t seemed as
though she was about to leap OF. The
coach WAS swaying from one side OF the
street to the other. and it looked as though
she would certainly be badly injured.
But instead Of jumping. the young woman
decided to hold on, which she did with both
hands.
There was a scattering of vehicles as
the big coach went swinging through the
street. At Central Park West the coach
narrowly grazed big automobile going
south and went plunging on toward the
wall. just as it got on the northbound
car tracks a car came along. and almost
the same thing happened as had occurred
at Columbus avenue, the coach striking
the fender and the horses swinging around
until they were caught between the car
and a tree.
Mr.. Haven and the groons came running
up and the young woman was helped off
the coach According to those who saw
the runaway she seemed hystercal. as a |
result Of her experience, for only a few |
