that in proportion to the number of his races or hunting me ts, the Princes mishaps were not overly numerous. Horsemen have said that the Prince took unusual chances but that he was unhorsed no oftener than other experienced equestrians
 Although no one knows the exact number of the Princes spills, he has had about Is or Is which might be termed semi-serious He suffered a broken collar-bone in 1924 and also in 1926, and a badly sprained left wrist in 1927.
 Dangerous Falls
 Several years ago, after a series of dangerous falls, the Royal Family prevailed upon the Prince to give up steeplechasing, or point-to-point racing, although he would not prom ise to relinquish hunting. Even this period of inaction was short-lived, for the Prince soon returned to steeplechasing again.
 The new King has ridden in hunts and races in almost all corners of the world. One of the invariable fea- lures of his visits to British Colonies was the arrangement of steeple- chase in which the Prince took part. During his last trip to Africa, the Prince rode number of times in point-to-point races, one afternoon riding two mounts.
 Shows Courage The Prince has shown great cour- age in all his riding and an undaunt- ed stubborness. When he suffered his sprained wrist on being thrown at Melton Mowbray, he kept hold of the reins, remounted his horse and finished the race. On another occa- sion, while riding in the High Peak Hunt Point-to-Point Race, the Prince was thrown remounted, and was again thrown at the last fence. On yet another occasion, the Prince won the race by remounting after falling.
 British newspapers blamed "hys- terical women" for many of the Princes falls. They said that enthusi- astic women crowd around the fences which the Prince is to jump, and as he approaches, their shrill cries of welcome and encouragement often frighten the horse and cause him to swerve,
 {, Perhaps the solution for his diff culties which the new King will use will be to ride only the mechanical horse which he acquired in 1927. He has been able to do steady eigh. miles on the hobby when weather or other arrangements did not per- init of riding in the open.
