pluckily came back, to drive again in
another class.
Again. in class fifty five, lightweight
green hunters. there was a scare, when
John Curtin, on Esteila H, owned by
1e1x
had what at first appeared to be a
nasty fall. Mr.. Curtin lost his seat at
the second jump and horse and rider
went down together in a cloud of dust,
but they were both soon up, without
the aid of the Judges and grooms who
tried to continue. but Estella H. was
frightened and refused the third Jump.
These were the only untoward events
in what was otherwise an afternoon of
enjoyable sport, unless an incident in
class flfty-two. polo ponies could be
SO called. In this event George Oakley

an accident into a laugh as he re-
mounted.
