Horse Falls Into Drain

The story is told in Melbourne .of rn extraordinary accident that befell R. Cann and his mount Yenda at the recent Bunyip meeting. Yenda was the first horse to leave the enclosure for the last race. While awaiting the start ami before any other horses had arrived at the post, he became restive and, rearing, fell backward into a drainwhich was hidden by the long grass. Cann went tinder the horse, but did not receive the full weight on him, as the sides of the drain supported the animal, which was just as well, for the jockey was in the bottom of tlie excavation and in an extremely awkward position. One of his legs was pinned. By holding Yenda's head down he prevented Ybnila from struggling and kicking, and then the horse lay helpless, with his four legs in the air. Cann called loudly for help, but it was a quarter of an hour before he was found and released by the starter. Then the job of extricating Yenda was undertaken. Ropes hiid to be secured to lift him from the drain in which he was firmly cast. It took half an hour to set him free. But the most remarkable feature of the story is that Yenda won the race.
