storm. It had been prophesied that several of them 

 and of their riders would almost certainly be hurt, but 

 curiously enough there were fewer mishaps than usual. 

 Percy Woodland's mount, True Blue, fatally injured 

 himself, having been brought down from the same 

 cause as that which occasioned Cushendun's fall, and his 

 rider broke a collar bone. As the horses neared the win- 

 ning post it was dimly discerned that the bearer of a black 

 jacket and red cap was in front, and this was identified 

 as Grudon. Drumcree followed him at a distance of 

 four lengths, with Buffalo Bill third, and the favourite 

 fourth. The friends of Grudon declared that the horse 

 "ought to have won" the previous year, but this 

 "ought to have won" is a phrase which it is usually 

 well to accept with extreme hesitation. The idea was 

 that he had got his leg through his reins at one of the 

 fences and had fallen by no fault of his own.
