Matthew, W. Morgan up. Detail, apparently very 

 tired, blundered, and Shannon Lass having a little 

 reserve of speed which Matthew did not possess, drew 

 away to win by three lengths. In all her career Shannon 

 Lass was never touched with whip or spur, and a con- 

 siderable portion of the produce of her victory was 

 utilised by her owner in restoring Telscombe Church, 

 close to his property. Zodiac, it might be added, ridden 

 by A. Banner, who had piloted him also the previous 

 year, made a very poor show, being out of the race 

 before Becher's Brook was reached. Mr. Bibby appears 

 to have perceived that Zodiac would be suited by 

 humbler duties than participation in Liverpools. His 

 name is not found again in the Calendar. He was taken 

 into the hunt stable, and later presented to that most 

 gallant soldier and most popular sportsman General Sir 

 Albert Williams, who, it is pleasant to know, rode him 

 to hounds with extreme satisfaction.
