mount Achilles, the blue ribbon winner In the
previous event, evidently thought that they
were asking too much of him in entering the
ring a second time and he gave his rider Will
lam r. Wallace OF the 1st Company, Signal

did not seem able to hold to his sabre and his
horse at the same time, and got the gate. The
class resulted in & victory for Squadron c. of
