On the 7th of March, Vivian won the Dunchurch 

 Grand Steeple Race, over a heavy line of country, of 25 

 sovs. each, with 100 added, beating Jerry, Warwick, Wing, 

 Cock Robin, Strideaway, Beatrice, Boy Blue, Emma, Pilot, 

 Stranger, Gridiron, William Tell, and Stag. 



On the following Tuesday, the 14th, he ran second to 

 Jerry, for the Leamington Grand Steeple Race of 25 sovs. 

 with 200 added, beating Flacrow, Monarch, Captain Bob, 

 Countess, Creeper, Scripton, Laura, b. g. Ncgociator, and 

 Valiant. 



The last splendid achievement of Vivian was on Tues- 

 day, the 4th of April following, when he won the great 

 Steeple Race, at Cheltenham, of 25 sovs. each, with 50 

 added, beating Splendour, Deceiver, Dan O'Connell, The 

 Disowned, Cinderella, Harlequin, Sportsman, Cannon Ball, 

 Monarch, Standard, Oberon, Workman, and North Star. 



This was Vivian's last engagement 3 and it will be seen, 

 on referring to the performances of this wonderful animal, 

 across country, that he started ten times, and won seven 

 Steeple-races, beating the choicest horses in England, or 

 from Ireland. He was unfortunate in one, by staking him- 

 self, and in every other he was second horse. Thus it will 

 be found, that in the seven races he won he beat 63 horses ; 

 and in the two races where he was placed second, he beat 

 20 horses.
