s{>orts at Rock Creek park on the outskirts of this city. He
was riding a wild horse and endeavored to force the animal
over a water hurdle. The horse tell into the water and
carried the president down with him. By turniug adroitly
to one side and kicking himself free he came to the surface
and swam ashore. He suffered several severe bruises. The
accident took place in the presence of a large crowd and
much alarm was felt for the safety of the president, but
upon his extrication from the predicament he was greeted
by clamorous applause.
