THE GYMKHANA.
Splendid Sport at Happy Valley,
In brilliant sunshine on Satar day afternoon, the first gymkhana of the season, took place, there being a very good attendance. His Excellency the Governor Sir Henry May and Lady May and party were present and they thoroughly enjoyed the events of the afternoon. Owing to Joas Mighty falling in the last race, Mr. Brutton received a nasty shaking, but he was well enough to walk back to the enclosure and was calmly seen smoking a cig-| arette in less than a quarter of an hour after his acoident. All thė.j races were interesting and Cilgwyn was a good thing for those who knew what the pony could do in the opening event.
