Souare Garden came early last even
INC. when Charles D. Lanier's Becky,
in the contest of qualified hunters
s,pmbled at the first bar gate threw
her rider. George NJ. Greer, jr., and
came down in a neat somersault, her
600 pounds full on the body OF the
rider.

Greer. who was pinned TO the ground
could not possibly escape alive, but the
horse finished her turn in the air, land
.pr on her back, and Greer jumped up
and was busy shaking the tanbark from
his clothes before the frightened at
tsndants could get TO him. He finished
mis- turn around the course to the
cheers Of the admiring spectators.
