gallant owner up, won in excellent form and also carried 

 Captain Jenkins extremely well out paperchasing. In 1895^ 

 ** Mr. Tougall's " Hayti won, and he was ridden by Mr. R. 

 B. Lamotte, who, even then, was not absolutely in the first 

 bloom of youth, but came to India from Sydney with a 

 ready-made reputation as a G. R. and had ridden winners 

 over some of the stiffest of the colonial courses, including 

 Rand wick. The victory of '* Mr. Tougall*" McLeod's good 

 brown was, needless to say, extremely popular, the more so

 great form, and was always there or thereabouts on him at 

 the finish. 



In 1897, Mr. Barrow's Belinda, whose performances 

 in the Ladies' Cup have already been noticed, won very 

 nicely ridden by Mr. Teddy Glasgow of the Royal Sussex. 

 He is now probably a full-blown major man, but in those 

 days he was a light weight subaltern, and used to go very 

 hard out paperchasing on a wayward chestnut mare. The 

 winner of 1898 was Surprise, owned by Mr. George Nairn 

 (Mr. Newall) whose trade was "jut'," but whose hobby was 

 *' harses," and he was ridden by W. Alford. In 1899, Mr. 

 Barrow won on his own mare Molly Riley, a subsequent 

 Paperchase Cup winner. She was known to be a good
