GREEN; YELLOW SLEEVES. BELT, AND CAP 



A few of the others, having been remounted, appeared at 

 intervals, the rest returning to the paddock from various 

 parts of the course. Although this does not appear to be 

 the general opinion it seems extremely probable that the 

 best horse won. 



Mr. Bibby was unable to be present, a misfortune 

 which must be a matter of lasting regret to him, but 

 Mrs. Bibby gallantly threw herself into the breach and 

 led the horse in, which doubtless accounted for the 

 specially enthusiastic reception of the winner. A word 

 may be added about Glenside's breeding, as stated by 

 St. Gris-Kilwinnet. The dam was by Kilmartin who 

 won the Leger of 1887 out of Neruda by Fitzjames, 

 her dam Performer by Adventurer out of Olga by 

 Charles XII. St. Gris was by Galopin-Isabel, by 

 Plebeian out of Parma by Parmesan. Galopin, sire of 

 St. Simon amongst other great horses, by Vedette by 

 Voltigeur. Here we have some of the greatest names 

 in Turf history. What made the victory all the more 

 creditable was that forty-eight hours before the race 

 Glenside was coughing and had a temperature of 106 

 degrees.
