246 THE ESSEX FOXHOUNDS. 



same horses and riders as in tlie previous year. For the 

 Light Weight Cup, Mr. Hervey Foster rode a mare 

 named Satanella, which he had bought from an Essex 

 horse-dealer. She would have easily secured second 

 place, but just before reaching the winning post, she made 

 a bolt for the saddling enclosure, ran on to the ropes, and 

 fell on her knees, knocking down several people, but for- 

 tunately no one was hurt. In the Consolation Race, Mr. 

 F'oster, by admirable riding, succeeded in bringing the 

 mare in an easy winner. At this meeting, Mr. P. R. 

 Tippler increased his reputation as a jockey by winning 

 the Open Steeplechase, and coming in within half a 

 length of the winner in the Farmers' Point-to- Point. 



Shortly after this meeting, Mr. Hervey Foster took 

 Satanella to Ireland, and rode her at Ardee, where he 

 had often run horses whilst visiting his brother in the 

 neighbourhood. The result was a bad accident. The 

 mare ran well, but in leaping a stone wall, horses in front 

 of her knocked down some stones. On these Satanella 

 stumbled. She fell upon her rider, and he sustained very 

 severe injuries, which crippled him for life. 



At the fifth meeting, held on March 29th, 1S83, the 

 Point-to- Point Race was won by Mr. Edward Ball's 

 Burke (light weight), and Mr. Frederick Green's Madrid
