both horse and rider could not es

ever, was on her feet in a few seconds,-
greatly relieving the anxiety of
many thousand spectators, and was
saking for another horse to continue
the race. Her mount though unin
jured, however, struck with his head
in a deep furrough and was assited to
his feet with great difficulty. - It was
scarely less than a miracle that the
accident did not result in a serious

nirs were in general circulation, while
