tinct recollection of the contest, as it was my custom at 

 the time to pick out a dozen horses to be followed during 

 the steeplechase season, and Ascetic's Silver was one of 

 them. Mr. Arthur Coventry came up after the race to 

 Lord Derby's stand, from which I had been watching, 

 and congratulated me on the good race he imagined I 

 must have had ; but I had unfortunately omitted to back 

 the winner. It is strange that so good an animal, ridden 

 by his trainer, Mr. Aubrey Hastings, who knew him so 

 well, should have started at the long odds of 20 to i.
