STEERS JUMP FENCE
BABY GETS A FRIGHT
(From "The Post's" Special Reporter.) PALMEKSTON N., This Day. That the danger of steer-riding contests is not/always confined to tho rider was evidenced at the forty-eighth spring show of the Manawatu and West Coast A. and P. Association at Palmerston North yesterday, when two or three of' tho animals, after careering around the ring, jumped the fence and landed in tho midst of the spectators. On one occasion a steer, still with its rider hanging on, landed on the front portion of a'perambulator containing a young baby. Apart from receiving a severe fright, the baby was uninjured. The front springs of the perambulator were broken. There was wild commotion among the crowd when the steers landed in their midst, but there can be no .doubt that the animals were more frightened than tho spectators. In the ensuing contests, when one of the mounts came near the ring fence at' full gallop, the crowd beat a hurried retreat.
