 Abd-el-Kader, the first of the six dual winners. 

 The chestnuts, although numerically larger than the 

 browns, have no dual winner among their total of 

 sixteen. The only dual grey winner was The 

 Lamb — that is, if he could be called a grey, for he 

 really had a beautiful black skin flecked with white. 

 He ha 1 not whitened when he ran his last race in 

 England over the Droxford course prior to leaving 

 for Germany, where, as mentioned elsewhere, his 

 career ended fatally at Baden-Baden. Regal and 

 Playfair are the only two black winners. 



The horse that most frequently took part in the 

 Grand National was Manifesto. The great hero's 

 career at Aintree is worthy of being recorded here. 

 Incidentally, it may be mentioned that his skeleton 

 is to be found in the Natural History Museum at 



Liverpool.
