heard ON every side oy the Interested
watchers
After the tenth inning the crowd could
not be suppressed it completely blocked

A NARROW ESCAPE.
The Duke Of connaueht, Brother Of
King Edward, Is Thrown Out Of an
Automobile.

Automobile.
Edinburgh, Oct. 1.-THE Duke of
Connaught, brother of King Edward,
while driving in a motor car from Ed
inburgh to Gosford House, the seat of
the Earl of Wemyss, had a narrow es-
cape from death and suffered painful
injuries, from which he was for a
time unconscious.
The automobile in which the duke
was riding with his aide-de- camp,
Maj. Murray, in passing a street car
collided with a cart. The overhanging
portion of the cart struck the rear seat
of the automobile and literally carried
away that section of the vehicle. The
duke was thrown out with great force.
AS soon as the automobile could be
stopped Maj. Murray went to the aid
of the duke. whom he found unconsci-
Gus and bleeding from wounds about
the head. A second automobile, carry
ing members of the dukes suite, came
up and the duke was taken back to
Edinburgh in 1t. BY the time the au-
tomobile reached Edinburgh the duke
had recovered and was able to walk
into the hotel. After two stitches
were taken in his ear and his hurts
had been examined by physicians IL
was announced that the duke would
suffer no serious consequences.
