LUCKY JOCKEY
PECO VERY FROM BROKEN NECK,
Wonderfully well, considering wliat lie had been through, Ernest Shaw, a well-known Christchurch jockey, who had a bad fall from Pangolin in the November racing carnival last year, was discharged from the Lewisham Hospital on January 5. Shaw can say that he has had a broken neck and lived; for he was suffering from a fracture of the first vertebra. Fortunately there was no displacement of the bone, and no pressure on the spinal cord, otherwise he would not have lived.
