THE DAILY TRANSCRIPT.

SATURDAY EV’NG JULY 30, '92
A REMARKABLE JUMP.
AN INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF THE
EMPRESS OF AUSTRIA.
Mer Horse Took the Bit Between His
Teeth and Made a Terrible Run—An
Almost Miraculous Leap Over an Open
Drawbridge—A Plucky Woman,
to an accident which befell the empress
of.Austria, and which was so terrible
that her escape from death seems to me
even now a miracle.
Elizabeth of Austria, as she liked to
call herself, was at that time not only
the most daring but also the best rider
in the world. No man or woman ever
knew better how to take an obstacle
than this most charming of all crowned
women. Though her majesty was then
already a grandmother, on horseback
she could give odds to the best Hungarian and English riders. The party
at the event of which I am writing-consisted of the empress and a large number of Austrian and foreign gentlemen
riders, who seemed to have gathered together from al] parts of Europe. ' Most
horsemen. This was not surprising considering that the émpress would never
take the field in company of poor riders.
On this occasion the empress rode a
very spirited young horse, which she
had obtained in Lancashire when on a
visit to England, and to the training of
which she had personally attended for
nearly a year. Everything went well
after the start until we crossed a highway leading to a small Hungarian
ing a white painted milestone the em
press’ horse shied, .and. suddenly becoming uxcontrollable it dashed down
the road_in the direction of the town
From appearance it was evident that
the animal had succeeded in taking the
bit between his teeth and that no earthly power could stop it on its mad runaway.
Although we all followed the empress
none of us seemed to gain upon her
Flying we passed through the littl
town, much to the amazement and the
terror ofthe few people in the streets
A short distance beyond the town was 4
shipping canal, and to our horror we
saw that the drawbridge spanning the
canal was open s0 as to pertuit the pas
gage of some boat. In a tnoment wi
straight into the jaws of certain death
Faster and faster we went on in purguit, but faster and faster also seemed
the empress’ horse to fly.
Would it
stop? Before we had time to think we
saw the animal dash up the incline of
the open bridge like a flash of lightning
For a moment we could not but close
our eyes and a shudder convulsed every
man in the cavalcade. It was a terrible
moment—a moment during which fear
and horror alternately kept us mercilessly in their pangs. When we opened
our eyes again, still riding as fast as our

Rheumatism, Sciatica, LumThousands of bottles are
prohad happened and that Elizabeth of
Austria was drowned in the slow and.
turbid waters of the canal.
The idea wasa terrible one. My pen
is too weak to describe the confusion
among us and the agony of suspense
that followed and seemed to make each
rider quiver in his saddle. Almost unconsciously we had stopped our horses
just before reaching the incline to the
open draw. As a matter of fact our excitement was so great that we did rot
even notice that one of our number,
Count Szepany, if . remember well, was
also nissing. All our faculties naturally had followed the empress only.
There we were, halting before that
terrible bridge like a pack of cowards,
with nobody among us plucky enough
to ride into death with an empress.
A few seconds later the inclines of the
bridge were lowered again, but nobody
to pass it.
From the pangs of fear and horror we
had passed into those of amazement.
Several hundred yards beyond the bridge
we beheld riding toward us a lady on a
foaming steed. It was the empress, and
at her side the only gallant man of the
crowd, Count Szepany. Her majesty
firmly sat her horse, and appeared as
cool and collected as if nothing had hapmed.
Smilingly did she make fun of us and
our anxiety. Her fine raillery was just
as much justified as it was inoffensive
‘when she saw-the pitiable figure we cut
in her exalted presence.
The empress’ horse was very lame.
and closer examination showed that it
had dislocated its righi hind fetlock. In
jumping the open draw between the
empress’ horse had caught one of the
iron rails at the edge and torn off one of
its hind shoes. The most extraordinary
feature of the accident was how the
horse ever could -have gone down the
incline without breaking its own and
tthe rider's neck. The only explanation
for this small miracle, however, might
‘tbe found in the fact that the empress
mever lost her presence of mind for a
minute when on horseback, and that,
though the anima! was uncontrollable,
phe must have sat it to perfection. With . .
regard to Count Szepany, he was unable
‘to give any accountof his escape. Moreover, he did not even remember whethe)
his horse made the jump before or afte
the empress’. He simply said that dur
ing the jump he closed his eyes for «
second, and that he then experienced 1
sensation as though the water were bub‘bling over his head.—Harper's Youny
