Colonel Hornby, Chris Moller, Fall When Ponies Slip, But Are Unhurt; Mixed Grill Wins By "Tux Cuaser" pee was played yesterday afternoon on the Race Course and although it was at first thought that the ground would be too soft, it dried up rapidly.
Eighteen chukker were played during the afternoon but they were not to up the usual standard and, with the exception of a few chukkers, were devoid of fast galloping, the players preferring to wait for the ball rather than chase after it in the sticky going.
Col. Hornby and Chris Moller were rather unfortunate to find a slippery part of the ground and were thrown when their ponies slipped and came down, but fortunately neither were hurt, and were able to remount and continue the game.
