SOME MORE NATIONALS, INCLUDING GLENSIDE'S 



who was second, being as much in front of Carsey who 

 was third. As for Thowl Pin, ridden by Isaac Morgan, 

 who had been on most of the horses since Captain Collis 

 had taken over their charge, he met with what might be 

 described as the common fate. The Steeplechase 

 Calendar sums up the happenings briefly by saying that 

 " only the three placed completed the course," and 

 Carsey had fallen. It appears therefore that of the two 

 and twenty starters only the odd two finished without 

 mishap, which was almost as bad as the result in Glen- 

 side's year. Ballyhackle, I might add, did not fall but 

 refused, under what circumstances I forget. It is very 

 certain that Mr. Ussher meant business, also he knew 

 the horse better than anyone else, and it may very likely 

 be that the refusal was due to some sort of interference 

 or mishap, which, however, does not concern us. Thowl 

 Pin ran in the Sefton in which Ballyhackle to some 

 extent redeemed his character by winning from Irish 

 Mail, and Thowl Pin at least completed the course, 

 finishing sixth.
