A curious little incident illustrative of a racehorse's quick appreciation of something unusual occurred at the Hawcra racecourse last week (says the Ilawera Star). In company with two others, the hurdle horse Darby Paul was engaged in a schooling gallop, but at the second hurdle struck heavily, and dislodged his jockey. Th« riderless horse continued in pursuit of hij companions but as he did so neighed so loudly as if to call their attention to sora&thing being wrong. His protest was heeded, for thp others were pulled up. and Darby, on being remounted, completed, the round satisfactorily with them.
