ACCIDENTS IN THE HUNTING FIELD. 



While hunting with the Kilkenny Hounds, Lord Clifden met 

 with a very serious accident during a spanking run over a rough 

 country. The field, a very large one, became scattered, and Lord 

 Clifden's horse, which was tired at the time, came to a double- 

 ditched embankment. His lordship put his horse to the jump, 

 but it stumbled on the embankment, and threw^ his lordship, 

 who sustained a severe fracture of the collar bone. Doctor 

 Mourgan was next up, and knowing nothing of the accident, 

 jumped the embankment, and narrowly escaped coming down on 

 Lord Clifden as he lay helpless on the other side. His lordship, 

 who was suffering intense pain, was driven to Kilkenny Castle. 



The Earl of Eavensworth was out riding, and while in the act 

 of leaping a hedge near Eavensworth his horse stumbled and 

 threw him forward. His lordship fell upon his head, and suffered 

 from a slight concussion of the brain. 



Whilst hunting with the Albrighton Hounds near Shareshill, 

 Lady Boughey met with a slight accident. Her ladyship was 

 encouraging her horse to leap a fence with a dry ditch on the 

 other side, when she accidentally slipped off the saddle on to the 

 ground^ fortunately without sustaining anything further than a 

 slight shaking. 



Lieut. -Col. Thornycroft (Tettenhall) came to grief at a fence, 

 unhappily with serious consequences. His horse slipped in 

 attempting to jump the fence, and the colonel was thrown forward 

 on to his left shoulder, dislocating the shoulder bone, and other- 

 wise shaking him. On returning home medical advice was at 

 once obtained, and the injuries attended to. After a quiet night's 

 rest the gallant colonel felt better, but his medical adviser informs 

 him that it will be some little time before he will be able to hunt 

 again. 



Alderman F. D. Gibbons met with an accident whilst out with 

 the Albrighton Hounds at Eyton, about thiec uiiles from Shifnal.
