Let go!" Sliver King poised an Instant In-stant on the brink, ducked his head and leaped Into space. Horse and rider Struck the water, head first, and disappeared disap-peared together. " The crowd cheered: "He's , won the $100." "He did the trick.'" "It was easy money." But after af-ter 4he lapse of ten seconds young Dalman. Dal-man. the Provo youth, arose to the surface sur-face and, swam gracefully on his back. Five seconds later Silver King bobbed up. shook the water from his ears and swam up the incline. The dive had been a beautiful one; both rider and horse shone for a moment In the departing de-parting rays of the sun like carven images im-ages of Grecian carving. Some women In the crowd of 7000 turned faint and refused to look. The dive, took place exactly at 7:30 last evening, as per schedule. Couldn't Account for It, ' In his dressing-room young Dalman said he could not account for his losing the horse, under the water. There was no trick on the part of the horse, to shake him off. "I went to the bottom of the tank all right. My only hold was by the mane. It was only a moment from the time I said 'let go until we struck the water. I was going all right and thought I should succeed. As we went under I closed my eyes. The water wa-ter seemed to get In. between me and Silver King, and, hold hard as I could-, I had to, let go. It seemed to force us apart. . - .' "I lost my hold at the bottom. I felt about for the horse, hoping to get a second hold and come up with him to the top. . I found him. but my position was too close to his hoofswhich were moving rapidly In the act of 'swimming, and I decided I had no business down there. So I pushed to the top, I want another try at him. There Is no great trouble In making the dive. I was not ! frightened. There la no trickery in the I horse. The only trouble Is he goes to the bottom so fast one cannot hold on. Will Try It Again. "Now I have had a try, I think I can do It next time.
