Training Accidents at Rangitikei.
W. Higgins, a jockey employed at Mr W. Homes' stable, received^ a nasty accident on the Rangitikei racecourse on Saturday morning. He was schooling Mr Noel Wilson's horse Rose Marie over the hurdles, and after making a beautiful jump the horse knuckled over when landing, turning a complete somersault and rolling^on theiockey. Higgins was conveye^to Bulls on an ambulance stretcher and his injuries were attended to by Dr Bennett. Besides receiving a severe shaking Iliggins is badly bruised about the body. It is not known whether he is internally injured. About forty minutes later Mr Keiller's well-known hunter Kildare dropped dead on the course. The horse was being schooled over the hurdles by jockey Lloyd of Homes' stable, and after doing about two miles steady work the horse staggered and fell. The jockey escaped unhurt. Kildare was being trained for the Marton meeting.— Advocate.
