pitched over his horses head For a
few seconds Bishop Potters stepson
was In imminent danger of being killed.
for he rolled along the turf between
the hoofs Of four or five flying horses.
Good luck was with Clark. however.
and without a bruise or scratch he
rolled out of harms way.
H Courtland Smith was less eager
than Clark to shine to advantage at
any particular jump, and he rode
careful and patient race
During the first round of the course
Flying Machine and Ell were the pace
makers. Their lead was only on suf-
ferance, as 1t was evident 10 the $1,000

Smith desired When half of the race
had been completed Smith gave Pete
Daley free rein, and the horse as
sumed command easily and galloped
