PRINCE GEORGE INJURED.
SHOULDER DISLOCATED. THROWN FROM HIS HORSE, ACCIDENT WHEN HUNTING. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received December 28. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Dec 27. While hunting with the Belvoir Hounds, Prince George was thrown heavily on to his left shoulder when his horse turned a somersault. The Prince of Wales was riding near him and rendered assistance. Prince George's shoulder was x-raved at Melton Mowbray Hospital. The shoulder was badly bruised and dislocated. It was the first appearance of the brothers in the hunting field since the King's illness. The Sunday Express says the Prince of Wales was riding shoulder to shoulder with Prince Georgo at a fast pace when Prince George's horse stumbled at a flooded ditch and threw its rider. The Prince ran to his brother, who was lying helpless in the mud. Ho wrily requested that a cigarotte be set between his teeth while his shoulder was strapped with a stirrup leather.
A woman who saw the accident drove Prince George on bumpy roads for eight miles to a hospital, where the shoulder was reset under an anaesthetic. The patient's condition is reported to be satisfactory.
