UNUSUAL MISHAP
SUFFERED BY CHAMPION
TROTTER.
KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS
IN FALL.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. While being driven along a road at Pleasant Point, the champion trotter Certissimus fell, struck his head on the asphalt and was knocked unconscious. A bee stung the horse on the nose. Certissimus plunged and in so doing caught his overcheck over the point of the shaft. This caused him to fall heavily on his head. The accident happened at eleven o’clock yesterday morning and although a veterinary surgeon, and doctor were in constant attendance, the horse did not recover sufficiently to be got on his feet until ten o’clock this morning, when he was taken to his stable. The horse lay on the side of the road all night, with a tent erected over him to keep him warm and dry. An expert has arrived from Dunedin and there is every prospect of the horse making a satisfactory recovery.
