Othello nnd The Beau a dead heat for third place, Red Rover fifth, and 

 Toby sixth. Then Beeswing, Commissioner and Lord William came, 

 followed at intervals by the rest of the field. The mali informed us 

 that they kept coming in till lo o'clock last week, so we did not wait to 

 see the end of them ! We would call attention to the Cup advertise- 

 ment which appeared in Wednesday's issue. We understand it is to be 

 run for about the loth proximo. 



A meet anywhere near the Red Road always attracts an unusually 

 large number of spectators, and yesterday morning was no exception, 

 for the road was crowded with vehicles from the corner of the Gurriah 

 Hat Road down to "the double," well packed with "old familiar faces," 

 some of them out for the first time this season. We hope it won't be 

 the last, though alas I there are not many more chases to see. The field 

 was quite up to last week, although a strong contingent from the Fort 

 arrived just too late to start. We were able to notice the following : — 



Mrs. Sanders on Footlights, Mr. O'Malley on Lady Amy, 

 Mr. Holmes on Sterling, Mr. Orrell on Toby, Captain Rawlinson on his 

 grey, the Old Man on The Sinner, Mr. John Anderson on Bedouin, 

 Mr. Rawlinson on Forrester, Mr. Cartwright or Hurricane, Ballygunge 

 Jim on Beeswing, Mr. Sholto on Pygmalion, The Prophet on Red 

 Rover, Mr. Campobello on Blue Grass, Mr. Acworth on a black, 

 Mr. Dusra on Othello, Mr. Dynamite on Paddy, Mr. Killian on his 

 chestnut, Mr. Kennedy on Bob, Captain Worlledge on a black, and a 

 good many others, among them several strangers.

 for a little, then turned to the right and round by the left over a mud 

 wall, across the Green Lane to the " Duke of Connaught's double," 

 down to the right towards the jungle round by the Dhobie's tank to a 

 mud wall and ditch, over the bund to the long wall at the back of the 

 jungle, then it came back by the bund along the lane over a hurdle and 

 up to the Red Road again. After coming along the road a little it turned 

 sharp to the right and wound round by the open to the railway crossing. 

 After this it was intended to go out by the back towards Jodhpore, but 

 the hares finding the field had started, cut across to the first railway 

 crossing finishing the course over two hurdles in the open by the Red 

 Road. 



The paper was started about the appointed time by " The Tougall'' 

 on Jumbo and Mr. Tom Anderson on Commissioner. Whether it was 

 that Jumbo objected to " The Tougall's " extra weight or that he was 

 started too slow, it was evident he was not in a jumping mood, which 

 seemed to have disturbed his rider's mind considerably. After allowing
