It was the 15th hunting accident that the Prince had met with since 1920. In 1924 Wales suffered a brok- en collarbone by tumbling off a hunter he was training over the jumps, AM reports agree that the hurt the Prince received yesterday was in no way serious..

It is co: sidered likely that yesterday’s tum- dle was due to over eagerness, or Jack of judgment. It was at the end of two miles of fast running that the accident oc- curred.
