There were two falls during the after
noon, but neither of the riders was seri-

graph took off too close and struck the
jump, throwing Bernolfo. In the fourth
race IRE. on Gun Cotton, was thrown at
the jump near the judges stand. He re-
ceived a deep cash in the head. which the
surgeons in the emergency hospital hXed
up There was a peculiar incident in con-
nection with this accident. The man who
carried IRE into the ambulance was stand
ing on the back step as it made for the
hospital. About half way the ambulance
struck a rock, throwing the man In the
back and fracturing his nose. so that the
physicians had two patients instead Of one
on that trip.

difficulty. a. Is Ninguts Waterspeed also
