GREEN; YELLOW SLEEVES, BELT, AND CAP 



Mighty Oceariy Mr. Pick, and Mount Hecla 



Mighty Ocean, a son of St. Grls and Tidal Wave, 

 came out in Ireland as a four-year-old in 1907, the 

 property of Sir E. C. Cochrane, from whom Mr. Bibby 

 bought him, and he ran first for him at Kempton. As 

 a five-year-old, if one were not aware of the circum- 

 stances a casual glance would suggest that he had vastly 

 distinguished himself. In the Stanley Five-Year-Old 

 Steeplechase at Liverpool he gave a couple of pounds 

 to that grand 'chaser Jerry M. and finished second to 

 him. An examination of the details, however, some- 

 what mitigates the admiration which the bare record 

 suggests. There were seven starters and Jerry M. was 

 the only one who stood up. Captain Collis remounted 

 Mighty Ocean after a fall and finished second, it might 

 indeed be said " a sort of second," as the verdict was a 

 distance. Mr. Bibby presented the gelding to Captain 

 Collis, for whom he won a little race or two. 



Mr. Pick, by Picton-Duegna, was bought after the 

 death of Mr. Francis Lambton, a member of one of the 

 most sporting families in England, who gave his life for 

 his country early in the war. "Pickles," or sometimes 

 " Mr. Pick," was the affectionate nickname by which 

 Francis Lambton was known to his many friends. As 

 a four-year-old in 19 14 the horse narrowly missed his 

 first race, a Maiden Hurdle at Haydock Park, beaten a 

 head in a field of twelve by the 5 to 4 favourite Dabber.
