capacity, for the reason that he always lay in front, dis- 

 regarding the weight he might have to carry. Waver- 

 tree seemed distinctly well in the War National, as 

 Ballymacad had to give him 5 lb. and there was practi- 

 cally nothing between them. If Mr. H. A. Brown's 

 estimate were correct Wavertree also should have beaten 

 Captain Dreyfus, for at Windsor there was 1 8 lb. 

 between them, at Gatwick Wavertree had an advantage 

 of 231b. The matter was never really put to the test, 

 as early in the race Wavertree was knocked over, his 

 jockey, Driscoll, losing his teeth as well as his seat. 

 Any idea of remounting and setting off in pursuit was 

 out of the question, and so ends the history of the 

 National up to the time of writing.
