Remarking that it was hard to understand, how the horse, being such a good jumper, came to strike the fence, the City Coroner, Mr. Farrington, yesterday found that Eve Daly, 21, of Oxford Avenue, Bankstown. had died in hospital on April 2, from injuries accidentally received when she. was thrown from the horse she was riding at the Royal Agricultural Show Ground on March 30. The late Miss Daly , said Constable M.J. Flemming, was riding Sun Toon, accompanied by Miss Elizabeth Mary Woods on another horse, in Anthony' Hordems hunting event for pairs. After safely jumoing the first brush hurdle, Sun Toon struck the second, said the policeman. Miss Daly was thrown to the ground. The horse fell near her but did not touch the girl. Stating that Miss Daly was an expert horsewoman Frederick Englebert, lessee of Sun Toon, of Bowral, said Miss Daly had asked him to purchase this particular horse, which, witness added, was one of the best hurdlers in Australia. Ralph Daly, of O'Donnell Street, Bondi, said his mothor had been partially dependent on his dead sister, Death was duo to cerebral laccerations.
