surprising amount of pace, and he was, without a shadow 

 of doubt, the fittest horse that started on Saturday, as when 

 he finished he was ahndst as fresh as when he started. 



The line taken lay from Jodhpore Thannah over a 

 night of hurdles in the field to the left of the road, then 

 along by the railway over a deep drop, and so on over 

 some hurdles, the station road, an open ditch and some 

 more hurdles to the Gurriah Hat Road. From here the 

 line lay over the natural bund and a flight of hurdles as 

 far as the drop fence, but it was not jumped, at that time 

 the paper going away to the left and taking a turn in the 

 open country before it returned to the drop, which had to 

 be jumped from the reverse way up, and was a very big 

 fence indeed. The bund country was then crossed, three 

 bunds, the big wall on the bund and the water jump being 

 the fences before the Tollygunge Lane : after this the 

 course turned right-handed in the direction of Molla Hat, 

 and the wall by the brick kilns was jumped, the straight 

 run in after that being over two flights of hurdles and a 

 bushed wall. The going was very hard for the most of 

 the way, the bund country as usual being the only soft 

 bit. The following is a list of the starters : —
